o THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1933: I am glad that the theme of your record is music. All peoples of all the ages since primitive man first danced to the rhythm announced by striking two sticks together or by the beat of a drum, have had some kind of music. In music the individual, from the lulla- by of his babyhood through his whole life, gives expression to his emotions. As a child, song accompanies his play, as a lover, he has his love song, as a warrior, his battle song, he voices his reverence for his God in hymns, he sings or whistles to keep up his courage, in music he finds relief from the tension of daily life, an influence to lighten his sorrow, an outlet for his joy. We should not forget that music is not today as it was yesterday. It has not stood still, but, on the contrary, has gradually developed. The music of one age is not the music of another age. We love the product of the masters of the past but the masters of today are giving us a different kind of music. Some of the older folk of our time shake their heads and wonder why we call the dissonance and atonality of modern composition, music. Yet it is music and an expression of our age, whether we all may learn to appreciate it or not. Music does develop, it does grow. Certainly in choosing music for the theme of the class book of growing individuals, you have found something of universal appeal and something that too, is growing. Can you imagine a world without music? What a dreary, sordid place it would be! May you all, today and in the years to come, appreciate and enjoy this wonderful gift to man. Our best wishes for success go with you as you leave us on your Commencement Day. Ilost sincerely yours, WALTER ROBERTS. CQWEW THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF JUNE, 1933 Page 7
