In thus combining the deeds of the past with the hopes of the present we have earn- estly attempted to epitomize the Conservatory spirit and to embody its essence in this, the 1925 Pants Pipers.

Her beautiful life of unselflshnesshher devotion to dutybher loyalty to family and to friends endeared her alike to students and faculty and the broad influence of her consistent Christian life made a wide circle of warm and admiring friends outside the school. Taken while yet in the zenith of life she has left a lasting impress upon the character of all who were privileged to know her. 1mm. SJ.

Spreading ruin and scattering ban, Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat, And breaking the golden lilies atioat With the dragontu on the river. He tore out a reed, the great god Pan, From the deep cool bed of the river: The limpid water turbidly ran, And the broken lilies a-dying lay, And the dragon-tly had fled away, Ere he brought it out of the river. High on the shore sat the great god Pan, While turbidly Howtd the river; And hack'd and hew'd as a great god can, With his hard bleak steel at the patient reed, Till there was not a sign of the Ieaf indeed To prove it fresh from the river. He cut it short, did the great god Pan, tHow tell it stood in the rivern Then drew the pith, like the heart of a man, Steadily from the outside ring, And notchid the poor dry empty thing In holes, as he sat by the river. This is the wa , laugh'd the great god Pan tLaughid whi e he sat by the riveri, The only way, since gods began To make sweet music, they could succeed . Then, dropping his mouth to a hole in the reed, He blew in power by the river, Sweet, sweet, sweet, 0 Pan! Piercing sweet by the river! Blinding sweet, 0 great god Pan! The sun on the hill forgot to die, And the lilies revived, and the dragomiiy Came back to dream on the river. Yet half a beast is the great god Pan, To laugh as he sits by the river, Making a poet out of a man: The true gods sigh for the cost and pain,- For the reed which ngS nevermore again As a reed with the reeds of the river. -ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING. nge 46 CANDIDATES FOR DIPLOMA p Mw I r -' AIR , B O 0 K -II Page 47 1.. ....:... 4....1 x.- .. a; I 4 Jami AMA! n.5- .A...'-.. mhmmm nag nag i.. .r..m4.-n.linL.l:- .4.. -..- ....

' 4mm CASTLE AGRAZANT Grand Opera in Three Acts. VVot'ds and Music by RALPH LYFORD Ralph Lyford, head of the Department Of Opera, Conservatory Of Music, managing director of the Cincinnati Summer Opera Company, has just received the silver David Bispham memnrial medal, which has been awarded him by the American Opera Society of Chicago, 111., for his opera, Wfastle Agra- zant , which will he performed in Cincinnati. This medal has been awarded but four times. Mr. Lyford is the third to receive it, having been chosen with Frank Patterson, who composed the American opera, The Echw, for the annual award. The Cincinnati American Opera Foundation working with the National Federation of Music Clubs operating through the personality of Mrs. Edgar Stillman-Kelley, has raised a Guarantee Fund of $1,200.00 to cover the budget for two initial performances of gCastle Agrazant . Such sumptuous performances as those contemplated have been hitherto unheard of'uutside the twu great opera houses, and will for the first time give an adequate angle from which to judge the real merits of a new Ameri- can opera. The production is planned for the early Fall of 1925.

Page 81 . DRAMATIC ART RAMATIC art and music are kindred scientific D arts; both appeal to the mind and to the emo- tion. So why is it incongruous to find a de- partment of dramatic art in a school of music.' Dramatic Art is not an individual thing, it is uni- versal in its contact. Where would the opera, danc- ing or singing be without it? The range of dramatic work is indeed vast beyond all comprehension; only by careful painstaking study may it be appreciated or understood. The richest literary treasures in the world are plays, and our lives are the richer for hav- ing borrowed from them. Will I ever forget the nights I used to sit in my room, four stories up above the campus, where the little statue of Pan gleamed in a patch of silver against the shadow of the trees, and think about my chosen work? SO will I ever forget how I dreamed over Leonora Ulric as Kiki; thrilled at the thought of Cyrano played by Walter Hampden, and adored Cyril Maude in tiArenlt We Alli Oh! the glamour and delight and endless adventure of this wonderful thing, dramatic art. It is always so; it always will be so, and that is the sole reason why I have written this. Anyway here it is. eBlanche Cordell. Page 8!? HELEN ZIGLER AND FAY BOND Scene from Prune1la Page R3 GIRLS FROM DRAMATIC CLASS Page 84 BALLET DANCING SCHOOL MADA M E DA GNOVA C0stume Dancing Page 85 SCHOOLMATES WHO GRATE ON MY NERVES HE girl in such hilarious spirits at the breakfast table, fresh T and bright as a morning-glory, and just sparkling with brilliant repartee-when you feel tired and drowsy and want only to be quiet. The mischief-maker who stirs up strife by telling one girl what another whispered to her as a confidential criticism, with extra em- broidery and unique shadings of her own added to the original story. The marvelous girl, who is always hearing such wonderful com- pliments about herself, and who relates them in extenso for your benefit. She can hold forth eloquently for hours on that one topic, without showing a sign of fatigueewhile you vainly try to edge away or fruitlessly attempt to change the subject. The critical soul, who eyes you coldly up and down each time you pass in an effort to fmd something wrong-and whose face lights up with positive pleasure if she can discern a lock of hair awry, a too liberal dash of powder, an unbecoming dress, or colors that fail subtly to blend. Judging from her expression, defects in your make- up or costume are the only bright spots in an otherwise dull day. But she becomes the personification of inattention, and absolutely ignores you with a truly regal air of disregard for your paltry exist- ence, if you happen to be looking exceptionally well in a new French gown. The fly-away girl of impulsive and emotional temperament. She labors always under intense excitement, speaks rapidly, in a loud, shrill tone of voice, and canverses solely in the superlative de- gree. Her enthusiasm is boundless, her laughter Homeric. She walks with a heavy tread, bursts into the room with all the calming eifect of a Western cyclone, and slams doors when she departs. The girl who objects to workewho finds serious effort weari- some and distasteful in the extreme, both for herself and for others. Who inquires with a pained expression, Ohe-are you STILL busy? If you can be a genius and, by practicing fifteen minutes daily, some- how contrive to play with the orchestra on that amount of exertion, well and good. Otherwise the spectacle of diligence is highly obnox- ious and truly unnerving to tender sensibilities. The chronic borrower, who attempts to solicit the loan of any- thing and everything from a postage stamp to your new fur coat. She is constantly needy and in want. If it rains, she never has an umbrella; if it snows, she never has overshoes. She is also habitually a. great suiferer from amnesia; has prolonged fits of absentminded- ness, and can never by any chance remember to return the borrowed article to its rightful owner. You are obliged to go in search, and almost have to use a crow-bar to pry it loose from her possession. The mental clinging-vinEethe girl who requires so much help with her lessons, who has never dared to puzzle out a problem inde- pendently, and who, under the restful spell of your kindly assistance, sits back like a dead weight and lets you do it all. It is not so much a clarifying explanation of occasional dimculties that she wants, as someone to do her Work for her. Without any effort on her part. Though she shows a lack of compunction for her mentor, brain fatigue is the one thing she considers most dangerous, and Which she guards against most assiduously. She is a zealous advocate of learn- inge-by proxy. The careless girl who shares your room, who keeps the dresser, the table and the piano in wild confusion with a bewildering litter of objects out of place. Who never hangs up an article, or folds it away in the chiffonier drawer when it is so much more convenient to drape it gracefully over a handy chair, to throw it artistichlly across the bed or to Hing- it temperamentally on the hoof. Who re- sents with acrimony your attempts to straighten up the place, and considers order in a room a horrible sign and dread portent of old maidishness . The intensive letter-writer, who sits at the desk with the die- tionary under her nose and, while on are attempting to concentrate on some task, inquires with mad ening persistence. Mildred, how tic you spell icompiimenti-with 9. Ci or a iK'T' Two seconds later: Dear, I hate to interrupt, but are there two 1's in traveling? Five seconds later: Now this is stupid, but I've just forgotten whether itis 'eii or tie in tniece'. Each separate query breaks the thread of your thought, and the dimculty increases to regain close attention. You grit your teeth and answer with labored politeness, hoping in the meantime that death and disaster will speedily overtake all the individuals with whom she carries on a correspondence, as the only way in which your tottering reason can be saved. The intensely sociable partner, with oh, dear, such multitudes of friends, who is everlastingly bringing them to the room for long and noisy visitFwith the clack-clack of tongues in fatuous and super- ficial conversation, and ringing ha-hasi' of merry laughter. She has what amounts to a positive genius for selecting inopportune moments when you have a severe headache and need rest, for ushering in these droves of acquaintances. Or else she chooses the morning practice hours, when you are on edge trying to prepare a difficult lesson which looms before you, as the most appropriate time for staging her in- formal at homes . The highly temperamental girl, who has absolutely no tolerance for those repulsively bourgeoisie qualities of practical common sense, sanity and self-control, and who thinks such ordinary traits should be relegated to oblivion in the case of the artistically inclined. She cannot conceive how real talent can be divorced from a perpetual show of moodiness, whimsicality, unrestrained rages, iickleness and wild caprice. She considers irresponsibility of conduct, eccentricity of appearance and manner, and a rooted scorn for established pre- cedent the halI-mark of true genius. So she demonstrates conclu- sively her ability to stand with the company of the elect, and measure up to the standards of lofty excellence, by her supreme devotion and unfailing enthusiasm for the bizarre, the outre and the unbalanced. The martyred girl, who is keenly afflicted with ingrown sensi- bilities and inflated self-importance. She takes offense with exas- perating facility, and is fond of translating your most innocent and haphazard remark into a fancied slur. Her pathway in life fairly bristles with difficulties, and she has the most terrible time in gen- eral securing the proper recognition and courtesy from others. Her friends never pay her sufficient deference. It is only by dint of re- peated apologies and explanations that they are able to reinstate themselves in her good graces-for they are always guilty, however unintentionally, of snubbing, insulting, criticising, misunderstanding, and fatally wounding her feelings.

'. 9: . - . 2'3 ; 12H, Page 88 PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC UBLIC School Music is quite a recent feature in our American schools. A little over seventy years ago, Dr. Lowell Mason became the father of Public School Music at Boston. Now there are three organizations: the National Conference, the Eastern and the Northern Supervisors, with teachers numbering into the thousands. The department of Public School Music was started at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in 1905, conducted by Mrs. Pace, with an enrollment of fourteen members. Miss Blanche Woody was the next in charge, and now Mrs. Forrest Crowley is at the head of this department. It is quite unfair to call Mrs. Crowley the head of this department, because she is the whole department itself. In 1923, a big step was taken which affiliated the Conservatory with the Cincinnati University, so that now the course offers a degree in Education in Public School Music. The slogan for the 1924 National Conference, which met in Kansas City, Missouri, was: uMueic for every child, and every child for music . The enrollment for the year 1924-1925 is sixty members, the largest in the history of this department. Public School Music in the Conservatory occupies a new position, in that it alfords the world of Supervisors a much broader field for musicianship, a wonderful opportunity for hearing music of all kinds, instrumental and vocal, more so than does a normal school or university. In spite of the fact that Public School Music is difficult for the person choosing mUsic as a profession, a greater number are attracted to this profession each year. Public School Music aims first of all to bring to the masses more and better music. Music must be a part of everyone's life, and not only for the musically gifted. People must be taught to appreciate the virtuoso and to become intelligent listeners. Years ago, the talented girl or boy planning a musical career found con- cert work, the opera, the orchestra or private teaching to be the only fields open. Today, the profession of Public School Music affords the greatest fields for opportunity, not only as an outlet for musical talent, but for unselfish service to a community. It is to this end that this department is hard at work. A course in Music Appreciation is now included in the Public School Music work. Mrs. Nell Sharp Tallentire, former State Music Supervisor of Ohio, is bringing to these appreciation courses an enthusiasm, inspiration and practical element that will aid tremendously in bringing to the average child in school a keener sense of music values and a higher standard in music. Mrs. Crowley says that 'tOut of our teaching music in the school will grow a great love for good music, community singing and orchestra, and out of these will grow a national music, for the lack of which we have been justly criticised. My years of expe- rience have proved the value of a music period; the children love it, and to me this seems to be one of its best justifications. It is a growth into something inspirational and beautiful, and while it requires a quickness of intellect, care- ful concentration, the joy of singing and playing appeals to the children. They not only acquire practical knowledge of the fundamentals and technicalities of music, but lay a foundation for a better understanding, that not only contributes to their own happiness and development, but adds to the cultural life of the community . eMARION LEHNE.

How few now seem the days we treasure! But Who, by time alone would measure, The hours hews spent of perfect pleasure With some beloved friend? Those hours of sweet communion, heart to heart, Along some country-side, from all apart, Or two alone, mid thousands in the teeming mart, Alone and yet together. Together-what a word to conjure dreams Of soft green meadows, gently iiowing streams, And music. All the worldes a song it seems If we can be together. Nor Time nor Place can ever quite reveal The depths of happiness our hearts may feel. Eternity and Heaven alone must seal Our perfect joy forever. 4. N. BIRD SONGS I often wonder why it is That little tiny birds Can make their songs so beautiful They can,t be told in words. And all the woods for miles around Will echo back their song. How can such sounds come from the throats Of birds three inches long? eLEONE GRANSTAFF. ORGAN IZATION S V4 BOOK IV Page 93 Dmurruv M.

The interest shown at the suggestion of a con- test for naming the book was really astonishing, and names were flying recklessly around for days. A suggestion here, a word thereettGee, I have a catchy titlet'. A ballot box was placed on the first iioor of the Main Building and many anxious stu- dents dropped their titles into it. On the night of the Halloween Party, the box was opened and after great deliberation, the judges, Miss Baur, Miss Norris and Miss Dickore, announced Pans Pipers , entered by Miss Dorothy Acker- mann, as the most attractive and appropriate title. Her originality was awarded by a silver pencil. Now our Annual has a name, and it is on the high road to success. May the coming classes appreciate the efforts we have made to place the Conservatory among the first ranks, and may they strive to retain the high standards we have set by our endeavors! a T last the Conservatory has come into its S.

The sorority seeks to form strong fraternal ties between members, and to promote a democratic spirit, and lo yalty to Alma Mater. The 1922 Convention authorized the establishment of new chapters only in universities granting a B. M. degree, and in conservator- ies of high standing. The publication of Mu Phi Epsilon is known as The Triangle, and is published quarterly.

Annual Reception of Mu Phi to New Students The members and patronesses of the sorority were received in the drawing room of the Conservatory of Music on the evening of September 23, 1924. Among those-prehsent were Miss Bertha Baur, Mrs. Lawrence Maxwell, Mrs. Fritz Reiner, Mrs. Dan Beddoe, Mrs. C. P. Taft, Mrs. Robt. Sattler, Mrs. William T. Semple and Miss Sara Norris. Other special guests were the mem- bers of the faculty, members of the Alumnae Club, repre- sentatives from Mu Omicron, and Alpha Chapters, and the members of Sinfonia Fraternity. The entire scheme of decoration, as well as the re- freshments were carried out in the colors of the sorority, purple and white; while the cakes and confections were emblematic of the triangular. CROSS WORD PUZZLES HE public must have something to rave about-- first it was Five Hundred, then Bridge and Mah Jongg, and now Cross Word Puzzles. And of all the crazes, the puzzles are the most worthy. What good did all these games do other than give us a few hours diVersion and a possible fuse with our friends and families, but have you consid- ered the actual good the much ridiculed puzzles are doing? They broaden us as no other fad could doe they freshen our minds to subjects long forgotten, they add new items that We possibly would never have known or cared about. Even little children are interested and it is indeed interesting to note the meanings they derive for the spaces, and thus unconsciously strengthen their vocabularies. On the other hand, I must admit there are ill results, such as carrying it too far. We see people bring papers and dictionaries to the dining table; we see them on the cars and in all public places. This, of course, is absurd, but those people are the extremistwthe ones who spoil all good things, who only partake for the sake of the publicity they may cause. We cannot be bothered with that minority, we should only notice the very many scholars who have come to realize the good of these puzzles. I am far from a scholar, but I just want to say that at first I thought it all tommyrot and a waste of time; and although I am still far from being a re- cruit, I cannot keep myself from seeing the attrac- tiveness of solving each puzzle. It gives us faith in ourselves to be able to solve these puzzles correctly and in the end it will broaden our scope and strengthen our ability along desired lines. So come on, and join the ranks! S.

Their home on Winding Way was beautifully decorated; the lawn and tea gardens were attrac- tively lighted with Japanese lanterns. During the earlier part of the evening the guests gathered on the lawn where chairs had been arranged for the artistic musical program which was to be rendered by some of the talented members of the sorority. Those who took part on the program were: Marian Lehne, violinist; Marguerite Katenbrink, contralto; Genevieve Goodman, pianist and Karl Young, a guest artist for the evening. Later, delicious refreshments were served from small tables arranged onlthe lawn and in the garden. Fortune dealt kindly with us and gave us a night as beautiful and balmy as any June evening. At the conclusion of the evening the house was opened for a dance to which the St. Xavier students were invited. Among the guests present were the patrons and patronesses of the sorority, members of the Alum- nae Club, Mrs. Hetflebower, D. O. Sorority Mother, and several out of town guests. The charming hospitality for which Mr. and Mrs. Reiner are noted will long be remembered by the guests.

IOTA'S NEW MEMBERSHIP FUND Just before the Christmas holidays the first attempt was made to raise money for the new scholarship fund. Although no definite amount has been named, the chapter has a goal in mind and the bazaar which was held in December gave us a realization of nearly half that amount. That bazaar will be an annual item on our pro- gram hereafter. The recipient of the scholarship will be a girl chosen from the student body who is deemed worthy by a committee of the faculty. Each year we hope to make the scholarship fund a source of pleas- ure for all S. A. 1. girls in that we Will be helping some one in our owu Art. Mi Page 11.? :3 ?'N v. U.

It was particularly fortunate that both Mr. and Mrs. Kelley were able to be present at the first presentation. Their stay in London was made pleasant by a succession of delightful social events When various distinguished Englishmen of letters and music vied in showing them honor. This composition of Mr. Kelley,s, which had its first production at the Cincinnati May Festival of 1919, was Dresenteti in London with a fine cast of soloists, Joseph Lewis conducting. The chorus included members of the Wolveshampton Musical Society festival chorus and other especially chosen singers, and the orchestra was that of the Birmingham Symphony organization aug- mented to 100. On account of the success of this Ameri- can work a world-wide hearing of it was made possible by the British Broadcasting Company. Upon his return to the Conservatory, Mr. Kelley Was warmly greeted by the student body, to whom he has endeared himself by his simplicity and charm of manner. We are glad to shine in the reliected glory of this maes- tro, who is above all else a scholar and gentleman.

They felt the need of a male organization which should have for its purpose the advancement of each of its members along the line of his particu- lar musical endeavors and also the promotion of a greater spirit of co-operation among the Conserva- tory boys. The young men are so hopelessly 'out- numbered by the young ladies of the school, that some may also have felt that in union there might be strength to combat the wiles of the fair sex. However, be that as it may, nine young men banded together and made themselves the charter members of a club which had a very definite pur- pose, but no name. Now we hoped that in the future our club might expand, and become the very best male music club in America We desired to find a name which, at every step of our progress, would further enkindle our enthusiasm in advancing ideals. Robert Powell suggested the name of Edgar Still- man-Kelley Club . Dr. Kelley at once showed an interest in our organization, and graciously gave us permission to use his name. Several meetings fol- lowed; they were held at Miss Baurts home, and on each occasion a musical program was rendered. Our membership had increased to twenty-five in three monthst time, and on December 13th, 1924, Dr. and Mrs. Kelley were our guests at a musicale. One of the most enjoyable features of the program was the Edgar Stillman-Kelley Quartette. At present we have thirty-five members, and we feel greatly en- couraged. We are one of the few male organiza- tions belonging to the American Federation of Music Clubs. Page 121 EDGAR STILLMAN-KELLEY CLUB QUARTETTE Page 183 EDGAR STILLMAN- KELLEY QUARTETTE LTHOUGH the Edgar Stillman-Kelley Quartette is one of very recent forma- tion, it is gaining the recognition and favor of both artists and music lovers in Cincin- nati and in the neighboring cities and States. This group of musicians is composed of four talented young men upon Whom Pan, our god of music, has lavished his kindest smiles. Mr. Truman Boardman and Mr. Paull Ferguson are the violinists, and Mr. Homer Fair and Mr. OWen Sellers are the violist and cellist, respec- tively. They are all students in the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, and with such a back- ground for education and training, we have no doubt of their coming success. The Edgar Stillman-Kelley Club is fortunate in having a string quartette of this type from its own membership. At a recent recep- tion given by the club in Miss Bauris home in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Stillman-Kelley, the quartette played a number of ensemble compositions, and received most favorable criti- cism from Dr. Kelley, Americais greatest living composer. Other engagements have included perform- ances at Emery Auditorium, at music clubs in Indiana and Ohio, and radio entertainments. The quartette has the best wishes of the editor- ial staff of the Conservatory Annual, and its sincere hope that the young musicians of this ensemble body will prove to be Panis best pipers. Page 19.! ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Page 124 THE ALUMNAL ASSOC IATION HE year 1925 will mark the eighteenth I birthday of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music Alumnal Association. During a comparatively brief existence it has endeavor- ed in all its undertakings to remain faithful to the ideals of the Conservatorfs beloved Founder. The records state that on June 20, 1907 there was organized a Conservatory Alumnal Association. During its early years this organ- ization was concerned chiefly with annual re- unions and occasional informal gatherings. At one of these the reproduction of some of the splendid works of St. Gaudens created the de- sire for an Alumnal emblem which should be the work of an American artist. Mr. William P. McDonald, of Rookwood Pottery, submitted the design for the beautiful Alumnal pin, which those who are privileged to wear it cherish and which has been adapted for use as the official Alumnal seal. In another season, eiforts were made to add to the beauty of the Conservatory grounds by placing on them selected hardy perennials. During its sixth year the Association made plans for erecting 0n the Conservatory campus the fountain inscribed to the memory of Miss Clara Baur, and in the following June t1914t this memorial designed by Mr. Clement Barn- horn-another Cincinnati artistewas formally presented to the Conservatory. It is interesting to know that a duplicate of this fountain was exhibited at the Panama Exposition in San Francisco, 1916. There was established in 1920 the Clara Baur Memorial Scholarship Fund, the first ? :92? THE ALUMNAL ASSOCIATION tCUNTlNl'ICDt amount for which was created by an artistic choral concert given under the auspices of the Alumnal Association. This fund has slowly but surely grown, serving as a great stimulus to the activities of the Association. For each of three successive years the Alumni have conducted a Frolic and a Revue, and have also presented one recognized artist in a recital in Conservatory Hall. The soloists engaged for these occasions were Gabrilowitsch, Bachaus and Maria Car- reras. Proceeds from'a performance given by the Opera Department of the Conservatory, and various other undertakings of the Association as well as contributions from many sources, have added materially to this Fund. In 1924 the Scholarship Fund had reached such proportions that its trustees announced it was ready to start upon its mission, and it is now a matter of pride to every alumnus that the Clara Baur Memorial Scholarship Fund is not only steadily increasing, but also functioning. The Cincinnati Conservatory of Music Alum- nal Association has, indeed, points of contact with the student body of the school. and these are becoming more and more evident. It is an organization Which has among its purposes the promotion of a spirit of fraternity, loyalty and service, the maintenance of the highest stand- ards of scholarship and efficiency, and the great desire to aid and encourage, especially, Ameri- can composers and American musicians. It is only through devotion to these guiding princi- ples that the Association can prove its loyalty to and affection for its Alma Mater. CLARA GREGORY BRIDGE. Page 126 IT TAKES ALL AND GIVES NOTHING artist, had been here in ttthe Statesll about three years, and had decided to re- turn to his home at Leipsic. I had 'taken my last lesson from him, and just before saying goodbye, we had drifted into a discussion of the opportunities for a musician to Hget 0nu in the World. He said, thy bowel hope you do not intend to follow music as a profession; there is nothing in it. Take my advice and use it only as a hobbyea diversion . VON HONITZ, the famous French horn The last thirty years have proved the worth of Von Honitz' advice. I have drifted from one part of the country to another, and it is only during the last six years that I have made a fairly comfortable living as second horn player in the philharmonic . I have saved no money, and my playing days will soon be over. What Vthen?-I do not know. I suppose I have been a fool for following music as a vocation; it takes all and gives nothing. Von Honitzl words came back to my mind . with startling clearness yesterday, when I ; found myself saying them to a favorite pupil of mine. The young man had just told me of an offer of a position with Prouzarls Band. I ad- ! vised him as Von Honitz had advised me so many years before. This morning I was immensely pleased to hear that he had accepted the position. RONAL W, STONE. 1r --. Page 12? RVATORY ORCHESTRA CONSE Page 138 m 1.

LTHOUGH not yet afiiliated with the National organization, the Conservatory branch of the Young Women's Christian Association this year has taken its place among other student activities, since its organization. September'27, 1924. The candle-lighting service held on Wednes- day, November 5, 1924, when the members lighted their candles from those held aloft by the Cabinet, was an unusually beautiful and in- spiring service and was carried out with the aid of various guests who assisted in the program. Mrs. Wallace, President, Miss Young, General Secretary of the City Association, and Miss Mary Louise Buck, President of the University of Cincinnati branch, were most happy in their words of greeting to the young sister organiza- tion, and Miss Baur expressed her satisfaction in the carrying on of the spirit of service so de- sired by Miss Clara Baur, the Foundress of the Conservatory. Miss Esther West of Christ Hospital, as the Spirit of the Association, gave a beautiful talk on Friendship, illustrating the part the Associa- tion may have in giving its members the fullest possible life. During the first semester the Social Service Committee operated effectively, furnishing sev- eral bushel baskets of provisions to poor people at Thanksgiving time, and giving away to or- phans and poor children forty-four dolls which were beautifully dressed by the girls. On January 19th, ten of the girls with Miss West took part in a Friendship Service at the annual meeting of the City branch, thus cement- ing the tie between the two branches. During the second semester several changes took place in the Cabinet, the following mem- bers taking the positions of girls who resigned: President, Susan Fisher, Chairman of Religious Page 135 Page 136 g , Y.W. C. A. ICUNI'INL'ICIJI meetings, Alice Parsons, Chairman of Social Service, Betty DeGolier, and Chairman of Social Department, Geraldine Bess. A special plan for Bible study during Lent was carried out among the girls on the various fioors, and plans were also formulated for the organization of hiking parties through the Spring. A series of talks running through February. March and April was planned, the following friends of the Conservatory giving the after- dinner talks on Current Events: Miss Howard, Miss Boynton, Mr. Heitkamp, Dr. Lowrie, and Rabbi Heller. On the alternate Wednesday evenings to a smaller group, talks on Funda- mental Beliefs were presented by distinguished speakers: Miss Simrall, Dean of Women, Uni- versity of Cincinnati; Dr. Eubank, head of the- Department of Social Science, University of Cincinnati; Dr. Frank Nelson, Rector of Christ Church, and Dr. Christie, Pastor of the Mt. Auburn Presbyterian Church. On April 8th an Easter vesper service of music was given to which all the members of other branches in the city were invited. As last year, the appeal for the Student Friendship Fund was presented to the student body and the sum of $300.00 was forwarded to headquarters. The Cabinet regularly sends its representative to the meetings of the Y. W. C. A. Metropolitan Committee, and in this way keeps in close touch with the Association in vari- ous institutions like the General Hospital, Kindergarten Training Association, as well as those of the University of Cincinnati and City. It is hoped that by next year our group may take its place as a part of the National move- ment and mean much more in the life of the Conservatory girl. , t CALENDAR OF RECITALS November 1 Student Recital. 8 Student Recital. 15 Student Recital. 15 Junior Recital. tMrs. Thomie Williams-Miss Etelka EvansJ 17 Chamber Music for Wind Instruments. 1T0 mark the opening of the Classes in the Wind InstrumentsJ 19 Conservatory Orchestra. 22 Student Recital. 26 An Autumn Musicale.

Isn't it wonderful what a red scarf and a pair of green bloomers and all your roommatels beads and bracelets can accomplish in the making of a llfzrworite wife , or how a little more bandoline than usual on your bobbed hair with a little brown paint can transform a respectable Hloidy into a perfectly good sheik, Well, it does-just try it, and then you will know what a ripping time those few sheiks with all those prides of the harem did have. $h' 1?.

Page 151 FAYE FERGUSON 5.2 Page 1 N FAYE F ERGUSON T is with great temerity that I undertake the task of writing a few words of comment on that most inter- esting of youthful personalities Connected with the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Miss Faye Ferguson. What marvelous achievement this young girl has at- tained in five short years! Nor is it an exaggeration for me to say that I have suffered a mental fatigue reading her wonderful press notices of this season alone. That feeling of equality which We enjoyed during our high school days seems to be fleeting on soaring wings that are carrying her into an expanse of gray-blue; a gray-blue which has its culmination in the rainbow. Faye Ferguson was born in Ironton, Ohio, where she received her early education. In 1920, under Marcian Thalberg, the celebrated Swiss Pianist, she began her study at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. In 1922 she graduated from the Artist Department with high dis- tinction. At the same time through the able training of Miss Helen May Curtis she received her diploma in Dra- matic Art. Since her graduation, while continuing her' studies with Mr. Thalberg, Miss Ferguson has given over fifty concerts under her own management and has ap peared as soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony 0r- chestra, both in Cincinnati and on tour. On November 20th, 1924, she made her debut in Chicago and received the highest praise from all the critics. Maurice Rosen- field of the Chicago Daily news says, Miss Ferguson has a comprehensive technical equipment and her tone has both power and quality . Edward Moore of the Chicago Tribune says, Faye Ferguson gave an elaborate program and showed facility for it . Eugene Stinson of the Chicago Journal makes this comment, Faye Ferguson is young, gifted and promis- ing . ' And I might conclude these press notices with Helen Crooks, criticism, which appeared in the Meridian Mississippi News, The time is not far distant when Faye Ferguson will rank with Hoffman, Bauer, Bloomfield- Zeisler, and others of renown . Shall we not begin to realize what a truly great pianist we have in our midst at the Conservatory? Let us give her the recognition she deserves both as a fellow student of this glorious musical institution and as an artist of iirst rankeE. H. MARION GRAY HEAD I know a little Fairy.

We can never laud this great man more than he de- serves and were we to place the golden halo of admira- tion upon him, we would only be justly honoring a man who was suffused with wisdom and goodness; 3 man who exemplified life and Art in their highest ethical sense. Lanieris earliest passion was for music. He played the piano, flute, organ, guitar, banjo and violin. The violin fascinated him more than any other instrument; it has been related that during his college days the soul of the violin would so exalt him that he would sink in a deep trance. The music in Lanierts being seemed to cry out for utterance; at the same time his sense of rhythm and har- mony took on another form of expression, that of poetry. Lanierls poems are among the loveliest ever written; they are saturated with uthe holiness of beauty , his favorite phrase. His faith in ideals was the true creative power of his poetic ability and of his musicianship. While writing his beautiful poems, Sunrise and Sunset; Lanier was playing with a Symphony Orchestra in Balti- more. What, other than music, could have inspired those magnetic lines? It is not in my poWer to express the pure joy that Lanieris poems have brought to my tired heart, not to say tired mind, after the heavy' task of solv- ing a harmony 01' counterpoint exercise. And to think that this wonderful personality had passed through the delirium of studying music, and had landed at the top still serenely safe, perhaps even happy-well, isnt that knowledge an immeasurable one? If you had never read Lanier and would read his poem to Beethoven, hav- ing travelled two volumes of Beethoven sonatas, would you not feel a deeper respect and appreciation for both Lanier and Beethoven? Let us try to imbibe from Lanieris life and works, some of his admirable thoughts, one which is especially noble I mighthuote hereF-ltTo make a home out of a household, given the raw materials to wit, wife and chil- dren, a friend or two, and a house-mtwo other things are necessary: These are a good fire and good music. And inasmuch as we can do without the f1re for half the year, I may say that music is the one essential. Late explorers say they have found some nations that have no God, but I have not read of any that have no music. Music means harmony, harmony means love, love meansAGod! wDOROTHY M. ACKERMANN. Page 158 VVHOS WHO In this little glimpse into Whots Who of Conservatory Alumni doing creative work, Pan's Pipers honors not them but itself in having their achievements spread upon its pages. But greater than this is its purpose. Let us who represent the NOW of the Conservatory remember that what has been, can be, and that the men and women we delight to honor were once boys and girls even the same as we, and that the time will never come when all has been said in music. In our number today may be many who have the divine fire and, let us hope, the patience to consecrate them- selves to its care until the consumma- tion of their heartis desire.

Beside her regular work as an eHicient member of the Junior Faculty of the Conservatory, her success as a teacher of music for the blind has attracted national attention. At an interview which Miss Bridge had with Miss Helen Keller and her teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, upon the occasion of their recent visit to Cincinnati, Miss Keller expressed surprise to learn about the work done at the Conservatory by Miss Bridge and became especi- ally interested in two of her former pupils, Kathleen Tur- berville, who is now in charge of the music department of three High Schools in Alabama and Florida near her home, Century, Florida, and Alicia Hardtner, of Miami, Florida, Who is now in High School preparing for a prof fession of music and literature. To Miss Bridge's knowledge no other school of music is doing just this kind of thing for pupils of defective vision and so this department of the Conservatory of Music stands unique. As there is no place where Miss Bridge could obtain training and equipment for such work, she wrote to the leading institutions for the blind seeking what help they could offer. Perkins Institute, Watertown, Massachu- setts, furnished her the greatest assistance and Miss Bridge has not only learned to read and write the Eng- lish and American Braille systems, but has Written a text- book on the teaching of music to blind people which is accepted and used in the leading schools of the country. As an example of the recognition accorded her, the State schools for the blind at Cleveland and Columbus. Ohio, sent their teachers to work with Miss Bridge and learn her methods, while inquiries have come to the Con- servatory from all over the country about this work. It is a beautiful thing for one to have been able to do for these disadvantaged folk and the Conservatory is justly proud of Miss Bridge and her work. Page 160 t: A. .H-lfhrsf'. ETHEL GLENN H'IER 1924, has this to say: nEthel Glenn Hier, one of the youngest members of the tbig flvei group of American woman composers tthe other four being Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, Gena Branscombe, Harriet Ware and Mary Turner Salteri who played some of their own works at the annual meeting of the League of American Pen Women in Washington last April, is one of the few woman composers utilizing the ultra-modern ideas for compositions. At the present time Miss Hier is writing a suite scored for fiute, oboe, violin, cello and piano, which is to be' performed at the Composerst Festival of Music, to be given in Washington next April, at the Authorst Congress of the League of American Pen Women . This suite is in five movements: 1. The Night Wind Sings; 2. Foreboding; 3. Caprice; 4. Intermezzo; 5. Dance. In a recent letter to Miss Baur, Miss Hier writes: A group of Conservatory friends, who live within six blocks of each other, is meeting tonight to rehearse thiseand two others, Sarah PosSell, fiute and Albert Marsh, oboe, are invited. The others playing are: Edwin Ideler, violin; . Robert Schenck, Viola; C'Zelma Crosby, cello; Ethel Glenn Hier, piano. Other members of the Club, who will be present are: Gladys Shailer, Em Smith, Rose Schenck and Pearl Ideler. I have been invited to present this suite at the Mac- Dowell Club, March 28, also Mr. Francis Moore is playing my piano variations on the same evening . Miss Hier, a Cincinnati girl, holds a diploma from The Cincinnati Conservatory and from the Institute of. Musical Art of New York, and has also studied abroad. She is a member of the Peterborough Colony, where she has spent several Summers, a member of the MacDowell Club of New York City, and has recently been initiated as an honorary member of the Delta Omicron National Musical Sorority in Cincinnati. In 1922 she was given an honorary degree from the Conservatory and in 1924 was elected a member of the Composers, Unit of the League of American Pen Women. ' Miss Hier does not confine herself to one medium, but seems to be equally at home whether writing for voice, piano or other instruments. Miss Hier is not only a brilliant composer but a successful teacher as well, presenting her pupils in six Recitals during the year. She very naturally says, New York is terribly strenuous when you have to lead this sort of double life . 0 F Miss Hier the Washington, D. C. Star, of July 27, HAROLD MORRIS AROLD MORRIS, B. A. University of Texas, distinguished H graduate of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, is now resident in New York, where he and his wife, Cosby Dansby, also a Conservatory graduate. with their little daughter form one of the Conservatory centers of that city. The long list of Mr. Morris's achievements mark him as one of the most promising of the .vounger American composers. His Poem for Orchestra tafter Tagore's Gitanjali'ii has been play- ed by New York Philharmonic. Joseph Stransky, conductor, Cin- cinnati Symphonv Orchestra. Eugene Ysaye, conductor, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Walter Rothwe11.conduct0r. The following tributes from critics of the calibre of Mr. Hune- ker and Mr. Finck mean much to the musical wzorld The Poem is full of passionate strivings and is scored in the Warmly colored stvle dear to the younger men. Mr. Morris has .talent, has science .--James G. Huneker, New York Times. iiThe composer has shown much ingenuity and there is a mod- ernity Which is neither Debussyan nor Stravinskyan and encourag- es bright hopes for the future. He was repeatedly called out after the performance .eHenry T. Finck, New York Evening Post. Mr. Morris's Trio for piano. violin and cello has been played by Felix Salmond, English cellist, Albert Stoessel. violinist and the composer. It was one of the five American works chosen by a committee of distinguished New York musicians and critics for the Salzburg Festival in 1923. Of it Lawrence Gilman, critic of the New York Tribune, wrote: uThis IS music of exceptional strength and originality, sinewy in structure, distinguished in speech, strikingly independent and self-sprung, and with a curious astringency of fiavor that sets it- apart from any other American music that we can recall. It is a superb piece of writing, and we can think of no contemporary Who would not have been justified in patting himself on the back if he had written it . First piano sonata has been played by Oliver Denton, pianist in Aeolian Hall, New York, and by the composer. The following criticism is in the same congratulatory mood as those already given: There is charm, originality of conception and a curiously buoyant suggestion of courageous youth and poised maturity in the work . In 1920, Mr. Morris gave a Recital of his own compositions in Aeolian Hall, New York, the program consisting of two piano sonatas and sonata for violin and piano. His songs have been sung by Alma Beck and Lambert Murphy. Mr. Morris is one of the founders of the American Music Guild which gives concerts of American music. Page 162 JOSEPH W. CLOKEY OSEPH W.

His things are in great demand among such publishers as C. C. Birchard, Boston, H. W. Gray 06., New York and Clayton F. .

The following criticisms from various well-known musical journals give some idea of Mr. Clokeyis standing in the musical world. The Vision-JtIt is one of the most interesting and inspiring publications of church music in recent years',. The most striking characteristics of the music are a certain vagueness of rhythm and harmony, the skillful use of light and shade, the ever-changing moods which find expression now in lyric passages of surpassing beauty, then in dramatic themes of most stirring charac- ter . It is a beautiful work, original and daring, packed with beauty from cover to cover with inspirational quali- ties as superb as its musicianship and technic . The Pied Piper-JtWe started to glance over it, and presto! an hour had gone and we found ourselves wishing we could see the work performed? tilt is full of delicious music. Mr. Clokey possesses both magnetism and skill . It is interesting to know that Tony Sarg is using as inci- dental music with his marionette performance of The Pied Piper, selections from Mr. Clokeyis Opera.

At the 1924 meeting of the Ohio Federation of Music Clubs, Miss Cook was awarded $50 as a prize for the best composition for two pianos. Her beauti- ful chorus for women's voices, Sea Fairies, was used last year by the Girls' Glee Club of the University of Cincinnati, Mr. Tuthill directing, and also by the Girlsl Glee Club of De Pauw University, of which .Anna May Payne is the director. Since her arrival in New York, she has been en- gaged as accompanist at the Kitchell Studios, and has also been invited to become a member of the New York Reportoire Club, composed of profession- al musicians, Where several of her compositions will be sung this season. A number of new compositiolns of hers will soon issue from the press of C. C. Birchard, publisher, of Boston, Page 164 TO G. A. L. We know a certain M. M. who is also a P.

I thought that all I had to Do was to practice eight hours a Day and please my teacher and learn a few Pieces and then I would enter the World as a concert Pianist. ' When I listened to the virtuoso playing his Concerto I'd imagine he broke Down and had to leave the Stage, and the audience sighed .in Regret over their pleasure Spoiled. ,In my Dream I rushed On the Stage and to the piano bench. With master- Stroke I picked up the musical Thread where the other Artist had broken h It and, with the orchestra galvanized into Action and the leader flapping his Stick against my surer Knowledge of tempi and Ngances, I completed the Movement in a storm of Applause and frenzy of Cheers from my ecstatic 'AudiencE. ' Then I'd go home and Practice Bach and Czerny and play A flat instead of A Natural in spite of the fact that the Note Had a red ring, a blue cross and a black Arrow which my teacher had written on It because I had played it Wrong three times Before. Of course I didn,t practice eight Hours every day-honly after hearing a sure Page 166 Enough star! The day after I heard Busoni I got in nine. Hoffman inspired Me to a spell nearly as Long. Those Hours Passed quickly because I seldom thought of What I was playing. About half the Time I was thinking of the Date for that Night and a quarter of the Time I was thrilling large Audiences and an eighth of the Time I was wishing I really could Play. The rest of the time I Practiced. Statistics Are always interesting. I once computed that in my four years pre-graduation orgie I moved the fingers of one Hand 84,153,600 times. Not each finger that many Times, but, in the aggregate, those five digits Fluttered as above stated. I arrived at that Figure by calculating on the basis of a four-hour Day over a 365-day year, with an extra day thrown in for Leap Year, one finger movement a Second. It requires about four ounces of weight to get a key Down. Some of the girls in the key-board harmony Class find it fatiguing. Conceding the physical Superiority of man over woman, I probably averaged a half- Pound pressure to the finger movement. And in four Years, 84,153,600 movements figure 42,076 and eight-tenths Tons. In other words, I dissipated 42,0763 Tons of physical energy, an equivalent of carrying a 200- Pound kitchen stoveirom here to Quebec or Hamilton, depending upon how fast you Walked. I might say that I am not interested in carrying a Kitchen stove across the room, let alone to Quebec or Hamilton, but the statement gives you a vivid Picture of the practice Feat. I had an easy, care-free, sixteen- Hour waking day for those four Years and then started to earn a Page 167 Living. If it were not for the Dreams and illusions, probably now Pd be a M. E. or a C. E. or ' Something instead of what the Germans call a Musiker. So I'm glad I Dreamed. But I wish some One had told me in a way I could Believe, that I could become a better Musiker if I used the old Bean more and the fingers Less. If some one had shown Me how to do an hourts practice in sixty Minutes! If that someone had Said: Son, to be a concert- Pianist, the Lord must have given You a pair of hands that can Play the Etude in Thirds after a week's Practice; a head that can memorize the F Minor Ballade and transpose it to any Key; an ear that can determine the Pitch of a bird's song- and a Heart that can carry you through grime and Poverty; a willingness to give up Friend, home and family for the sake of a Career; a tongue that can speak Silver when the thoughts flash Steel; a smile that will charm the the Soul is repelled; the grace of a Page and the wiles of a Plenipotentiaryethese things and a few More you need to insure a Career . If he had told Me this in a believable Way, maybe I would have cut Down my practice to four Hours a day, and by a practical Use of the rest of the Time learned earlier to Sight-read, transpose, improvise, play ensemble, really Studied harmony, counterpoint, canon, fugue, instrumentation Conducting, organ, borrowed one at a time every instrument of the orchestra and found its capacity and limitations, Studied a foreign language or two, and learned to use English better, and a lot of other Things. , Page 168 If I had spent two hours a day for the 1,461 Days in developing the old bean, instead of Carrying the kitchen stove to Quebec or Hamilton, I'd be a musical Einstein now instead of a harmony Teacher in the Conservatory Basement. Isn't it strange: When I was young no One thought of teaching a pupil to Listen to music. The pendulum has made a mighty Swing'since then. Today we try to generate Listening, Understanding and Appreciation, both in pupils and hoi PolIoi, and the reason it's so hard to Do is that lots of pupils dontt want to Listen or appreciate or ' Understand. They want to be concert Artists, and make hoi polloi Listen and appreciate and Understand. Tell me, why is It that people would rather play like Rachmaninoff than compose like Him? Why would a singer rather debut in Martha than have composed Pelleas? Why should the Violinist prefer to play the Bruch G Minor than to have Written the Mendelssohn E Minor? Maybe ifs because itis easier to move a Muscle than the old bean. The sad Part of it is, when they grow Up they'll really want to know and hear and Think, and will have to 'blliff through Life, learning by hard knocks what might have Come easily and opulently. Life becomes a serious thing Later, especially to a Man. When I see some of the' boys Here, aiming to become professional Musicians, I wonder what the world has in Store for them. Their practice average is less than Four hours, with twelve more to Fill. It takes a lot to eat to eat three Hours, so there is left nine , Hours with absqutely nothing to Do. They want to be concert artists, but Page 189 May have to give music lessons. Later in Life some will spend the cold winter Nights sighing over the fate of poor American musicians who are forced to Compete with highly skilled and carefully Trained foreigners, who knew Greek and Latin and Calculus, and two modern Languages, and the theoretical learning of Bach, before they were twenty. If our Boys would only realize they must be Musicians to be concert-artists, theyld put Five of the wasted nine towards making a good Job of themselves. That's fair enough, four Hours to the fingers and five to the old Bean. And then, if fate plays a dirty Trick, and no one comes forth with the small Fortune needed to launch a career, they will Realize why their own teachers are Teachers and not concert artists, and Themselves will become competent and Highly-paid teachers. Dohnanyi, Schnabel, Jonas, Godowsky, Lehvinne and Game earn their Living giving music lessons. Itls a fine Profession if your music is in your Head aswell as. in your Fingers. I like to think that, if I had been told this Twenty years ago, I Would have believed It; But more likely Iid had-scoffed at the Bird who intimated I couldn't become a second Paderoosky. I would have held him a spoil Sport, 3 wet lhlanket and a dash of cold Water and gone on dreaming. ' If life is Just the pursuit of happiness, I'found my Share in the dreaming and illusions of Youth. An appearance in Aeolian Hall Performing the Beethoven Emperor , under Weingartner as guest conductor, would give Me no greater thrill than my favorite Dream of filling the place of the other Artist who had to leave the stage with his . Performance half-fmished. So maybe I oughtn't to Crab. gGEORGE A. LEIGHTON. Page 170 SATIRE BOOK VII e179!

When he was but a small child this trait Was clearly shown by all of his actions; and by the time he got to college, it was an integral part of his nature. Naturally therefore Pan decided to be genuine one hundred per cent college boy. He hadnlt been at school more than a day when he realized that all one hundred per cent college boys were smoking pipes. He bought himself a pipe of the type Which seemed to be in vogue at the time. All that year he bought the kind of pipes that other collegiate men were smoking. Before June he had a complete collection5pipes with little bowls and long stems, pipes with big bowls and short stems, and all pos- sible variations. All of his allowances was spent in fol- lowing the prevailing fashion in pipes. He found con- solation in one thing however. He knew that during his second year he would be well fixed, for did he not have every conceivable kind of pipe? This fact gave him great satisfaction and all during the Summer he would go over his assortment and guess which one would start off the next Fall. In September he went to school with the glorious exhilaration of conscious triumph shining in his face. He sauntered casually up the hill from the depot and entered the campus. All of the one hundred per cent college men were smoking cigarettes in long black holders. It took Pan two months to recover from the shock, and thereafter he was content to be a ninety-nine and forty-four one-hundredths per cent college man. 5GEORGIA CRACKER.
