Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is representative of the Classical School. The Hymn of Praise by Mendelssohn ranks high in the school of Romanticists. Modernist Antonin Dvorak is noted for his New World Symphony. Finally, we have the Success School, the greatest composer of which is Ashland High, who has just completed his greatest masterpiece, the Thirty-Ninth Symphony. This symphony relates the charming story of the trials and tribulations, the glories and joys of the hero, the Class of '39, wending his way through the traditional four years of secondary educa- tion, here depicted in the four delightful movements of his symphony. The first movement, the Allegro, is for the most part a light, cheerful one. However, some sombre passages denote the fear of our hero, '39, as he enters the algebra classroom for the first time. But, soon his fears vanish, and all is well again. This movement contains no definite theme of its own, but in it may be heard the faintest suggestions of the themes to come. This first move- ment is really the basis of the whole symphony. The next movement, the Andante, or sophomore year, has a broader sweep as our hero branches into fields other than studies. He tries athletics, some dramatics and music, and finds himself very successful. Several rolls on the tympani denote an unusually difficult day with Caesar or geometry, for lessons cannot be forgotten. An undertone of impatience forms the background of this move- ment, as our hero approaches the climax. Now, the movement for which we have been eagerly waiting-the Scherzo. Everyone is anxious to find how this untried, inexperienced hero will assume the responsibilities of being a Junior. But nothing daunts '39-he knows not defeat. The Junior cabinet is elected, class rings selected, and the class treasury begun. In the music can now be heard the decided voices of the capable leaders. Our hero now forms the nucleus of the various school organizations. He produces a successful play, Penrod. As the strains of Old Black Joe are heard, one can see the hero dancing on the veranda of a beautiful Southern mansion at the Junior-Senior Prom. The last soft notes of this melody bring the movement to a lovely close. The critic is almost at a loss for words to describe the brilliant finale. Having surmounted most of the barriers to his progress, our hero now enjoys the rewards he so justly deserves. Accepting responsibilities as they arise, he now is the leader in the organizations of the school-on the athletic teams, in the musical, speech, and scholastic contests. He produces another success, three to be exact, in the form of one-act plays. As our hero realizes the end of the journey is near, a note of sadness sounds in our symphony. But now '39 looks ahead to the future, and the symphony comes to a brilliant close with the fan- fare of graduation. May we wish that the venerable composer, Ashland High, will long continue to turn out master- pieces of an excellence comparable to his Thirty-Ninth Symphony. Sara Mowiser 20
