SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL Y 1. ,W 1 1 1 1- -- 12721--1m s I AM MUSIC Servant and master am Ig servant of those dead, anal master of those living. Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the World Weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship. I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers, and through me the dead Whisper to the living. One I serve as I serve all, and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of Waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even 'heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. I know no brother, yet all men are my brothersg I am the father of the best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in meg I am of them and they are of me. For I am the instrument of God. I AM MUSIC Page 59

Violins- Viola- V SOUTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL ANNQAL Orchestra This year the orchestra was definitely organized as a regular symphony orchestra. Because of the lack of variety of instruments, the Board of Education has purchased and loaned them to the students. As a result, the orchestra is gradually developing a better balanced instrumentation. Every Wednesday afternoon rehearsals are held in the auditorium during eighth period. There is a movement started to hold rehearsals twice a week beginning next September, so the members can get regents credit for their work. The orchestra has appeared at several community events and has been praised highly for its performances. ROLL OF MEMBERS Conductor, George J.
