It's a cornet with its highly keyed tones, And a clarinet whose song continually moans In a swaggering style, the saxaphone plays, With a piano helping out in melodious ways A sliding trombone contributes its part, While a violin is singing with all of its heart In the background, a drummer is bringing in The soul of rhythm to the musical din. It makes us feel happy-It's a crazy thing, It needed a name, so they called it Swing.

QVEWOV Modern Rhythm . . . What does it mean? Or does it embrace too much to be measured by words? Yet it characterizes everything symbolic of high school life as it is lived today. At a pace in keeping with that rhythm the events of the year 1936-37 have been made into a tangible memory for the participants of these events. High school days, once gone, can never be recaptured but their recording will bring a mental replica of those years. Days spent at high school-some of the happiest days of life-have slipped by, like modern rhythm, somewhat too fast. Nor has gayety ac- companied every moment. Reality has become a part of the lives of the students. In future years when the world with its work-a-day character has in- creased its throngs by these students this yearbook may be a relaxation from the daily demands of that world, and a reminder of the days of youth. So the staff of 1937 has attempted to portray student life in its rela- tion to the rudiments of the rhythm that dominates modern times. In creat- ing the Masonian of '37 it has been a pleasure to play this part in the rhythm of YOUR life.
