Mr. Andrew J. Brady at work on the original composition, This Is My School IMG B1 6l6lyif Jong imzillf in ur new pifiol' in our school Western Hills has always been fortunate in having a fine musical tradition. From the first days, when the band was organized almost before the doors were opened, to the present, when the band, orchestra, and a cappella choirs have achieved a standard of superb excellence, there has been a continual wealth of original composition. First, there was the beautiful Alma Mater composed by Mrs. B. H. Siehl, the wife of our first prin- cipal. Then there was the stirring Battle Song composed by Gus Beiser, father of our own Dave. There have been other original compositions planned for special occasions, but these two have withstood the test of time, and now we feel that Mr. Brady has added a third all- time favorite with This Is My School. When Mr. Brady composed the words and music of the song This IJ My School for the Hnalc of the l954 Bandwagon, he touched a spot in every pupil's heart. Not one could hear that inspiring music and reflect upon the challenging words without feeling a new surge of pride in his school. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Brady for calling forth that surge of pride which has lain dormant in our hearts. We are grateful to him also for the many other original compositions he has prepared for our band and orchestra during the eleven years he has been at Western Hills, and for the generous and unstinting devotion he has given these organizations. In the days that are to come, we may forget a little of what we have learned here, but we shall never hear the magnificent strains of This Is My School without feeling a lump come into our throats as it recalls to us the wonderful years we have spent within these walls. Thank you, Mr. Brady.
