-45- I AM MUSIC ' Servant and master am Ig servant of those dead, and master of those living. Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and won- der, and worship. . , I I tell the story of love, thekstory 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 H . Q I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the sould 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 rook-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 '- I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers, 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 INSTRULENT GF GOD. I AM MUSIC. ,

-44 Clarksburg High School has discontinued presenting operettas, the last one being given in 1955. This operetta was NAn Old Spanish Customn, a story of Mexican and American life on a ranch in southern California. The lead was played by John Martin, who made a very good Mexican bandit. C.H.S. is well known throughout the county for its musical ability. A gir1's quartette composed of Joan Graham, Maxine Carter, Nell Martin, and Margaret Hyde, have given their services on any occasions. There are several boy's quartettes, and both boy's and girl's octettes. Everyone in C.H.S. who is interested in music is given an active part in our various musical groups, and both the boys and girls have glee clubs. A very outstanding male octette is composed of Wendell Morrison, Don Hyer, Donald Harmount, Joe Ater, Robert Dawson, Willis Taylor, Robert Hamman and Robert Anderson. Clarksburg has produced many good soloists, the present ones being Mary Ellen Dawson and Wendell Morrison. These two are especially wellknown in the county for their efficient solo work, Another girl recently discovered for her effective solo work, is Miss June Faye. , Each year a contest is held between Atlanta and Clarks- burg.
