Dedication Miss Reinert Miss Ida Reinert, the director of vocal music, is a native of Boyertown. She attended the grades and high school here in Boyertown. She furthered her education at Kutztown State Teachers College, The Sternberg School of Music, Teachers College, Columbia University, and the American Institute of Normal Meth- ods. For the last thirty five years she has taught music in the local schools. At first she taught vocal and instrumental music. After an in- strumental instructor came she began to devote all her time to vocal music. Under her direc- tion are the Junior Chorus, Senior Chorus, Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club. Each year Miss Reinert is in charge of the Christmas program and several assemblies which are given by the vocal groups. She also prepares a group of selected voices to attend the County Music Festival. Miss Reinert's hobbies are listening to classical music and collecting Pennsylvania Dutch articles. The H1948 Bear pays tribute to Miss Rein- ert and Mr. Hangen for making us more appre- ciative of the music in our school. It is natural that Paul S. Hangen Jr. should follow a musical career, because his grand- Mr. Hangen father owned and operated a music store in Reading. It was above this store that he was born. He worked there as a boy. 'While in the grades he studied cello and piano. During his senior year in high school he became a cellist in the Reading Symphony Orchestra. He attended West Chester State Teachers College and the Eastman School of Music. He took graduate work at Temple University. He studied at the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood, Massachusetts. He taught at Waterville, New York, and Richfield, New York, before coming to Boyertown. This is his third year at Boyertown. He gave up teaching one year to play with the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra. Besides being a music educator he is also a professional cellist. Mr. Hangen spends his summers as a faculty member of the New York State Music Camp teaching cello and harmony. He is also the director of athletics. He has per- formed under the following men: Serge Koussevitsky, Hans Kindler, Howard Hanson, Hifor Jones, Hugh Ross, Ole Winduegstad and Alexander Hillsberg. His chief hobby is designing houses and his greatest ambition is to have a home of his own with a Chinese study in it. He has done an excellent job in building up our band and orchestra. He also organized a dance band which is doing fine work.
