INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC . . . DEDICATION TO THE ARTS—Mans response to the world about him through his own creative genius in literature, music, drama, painting and sculp- ture—do we dedicate this 1958 Rhododendron. These, the arts, form a universal language through which we understand our highest hopes, our deepest sorrows, our greatest joy, and those hopes, sorrows and joys of all people now and of the past. Through our expression in the arts, we speak to the generations yet to come. The arts thus bridge the gap of time, space, prejudice and power. In them man bares his soul and feels a unity with all mankind. Through the medium of the arts we strive for a strength- ening of ties among the peoples of the world. In them man reaches for the highest expression of beauty and strives for the sublime. We, the staff, wish to honor those of our school, students and faculty, who have made it their purpose to further some phase of the arts—music, drama, literature or painting, and thus enrich our lives and theirs. LITERATURE . . . ART . . . CHORAL MUSIC . . .

The windows are open to receive the Indian Summer s air; the quiet campus speaks ot the busy classroom and is occasionally interrupted by the clamor of students crossing it between classes.
