DEAN OF BOYS The general theme of music as a stimulant to memories is very appropriate now that we are at the end of another school year, especially for you seniors, who at graduation time are looking back over your four years spent at Clovis High School with many fond Moments to Remember of the days which will undoubtedly be considered the happiest of your life. You have made many friends among the stu- dent body, the faculty, and the administrative staff, and these associations are as- suredly as important to you as the valuable knowledge and skills acquired. You lower classmen as well will look back upon the school year 1956-1957 with much satisfa ian, and while your desire will be strong to go on to the completion of your high. y oofl career, you will nevertheless contemplate your high-school days already past withflonging for times that cannot be relived except in memory. May your future rinjg' you all you hope to accomplish. ttf! 1 l Q Robert E. Tucker g ,J Dean of Boys , f ltl. Xl , .yy Ll ll lf' ,A K X lu Dragnet, 1-,

DEAN OF GIRLS Literature teems with references to the power of music. That cantankerous Scotch- man, Thomas Carlyle, exploded with this theme: Give us, O give us, the man who sings at his work! He will do more in the same time-he will do it better, he will per- severe longer. One is scarcely sensible of fatigue whilst he marches to music. We may march to a military rhythm, hear the latest dance tune through our feet, delight ourselves and torture our elders with platters. But music is more than that. The speech of the angels, Carlyle called it. Shake- speare tells us, The man that hath no musicin himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, ls fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils. Let no such man be trusted. Music has been called the universal language. Through it we speak to people the world over, whose ioys and sorrows, hopes and ideals are the same as ours. Respi- ghi's Pines of Rome or Sibelius' Finlandia tell us more of the agonies ofa con- quered people than any textbook could give us. The study of music in school should open our minds and souls, through it we should learn to hear the music of nature, her symphonies of rain and wind, of rippling wa- ter, whirring wings, and rustling leaves. Through it we should hear the voices and the aspirations of the great mass of people in the world-what Wordsworth called the still, sad music of humanity. Perhaps if we were to follow the advice of the great German poet Goethe that we hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of our lives, we might even come toward understanding the purpose and meaning of life itself.
