ibeckcafion This year our book is dedicated to a man who in the past six years has done much to maintain the high standard of the Scott music department. He has charge of the band, the orchestra, the Pied Pipers, and the Symphonic Choir. One might well think that it would take two men to carry the responsi- bility of having excellent musical groups each year, but Mr. Gerber is so capable that he doesn't mind the planning and the hours of work and practice that are necessary for a good performance. ln college Mr, Gerber was a vocal major, but along with voice training he also had to learn how to play many instruments. He is often found in the music room giving a trumpet or clarinet lesson to a member of the band. His love of music is intense. This love of music, however, does not mean that it consumes an excess of his time, for he is a patient and loving father, spending many hours of play with his children. Not only is Mr. Gerber's vocation creative, but so is his hobby. He is a carpenter. He spends his summers building. ln fact, he has built a garage! One of the tests of a good teacher is the reaction of his students. Here Mr. Gerber scores one hundred per cent. His interest in each student and his desire to be completely fair are two of his finest qualities, and his students truly appreciate them. That Mr. Gerber will give anyone a chance to try out for a solo is a well known fact. That he never makes a final decision until all interested have an opportunity is also well known. His is really a democratic spirit. Could there be any better reason for dedicating this Scottonian to him?
