Aaah I Booh I Eeek I At last my curiosity over- came all my fears, so cau- tiously opening the door I peeked in, and there, calm- ly sitting on the stage sat Adolph Tewes, playing the clarinet. After he had finished playing about ten selections he discovered my presence. You know, he confided, This is how I intend to make my future living. Adolph then proceeded to tell me his life's history: I first saw light of day in San Francisco and I am still here, he said. Before I came to Commerce I went to the State Normal School. When I graduate from Commerce, I intend to go to the Arrillaga lVIusic Col- lege. Mr. Tewes is the Band- master of the Commerce R. O. T. C. Band. He is also a member of our Orch- estra and our Jazz Band.
