Beauty and Health MUSIC BRINGS HAPPINESS Music and art are skills that bring delight to both performer and observer. Dr. Viggiano, music director, who has devoted much time in producing fine musical assemblies, fe els that his hard work has not been in vain. “I feel indee most fortunate in having classes of students who constantly show, in attitude and in prac- tice, a strong desire to work with me to realize the ideals which we both cherish in music. This ‘Esprit de Corps’ is a constant source of inspira- tion to me.” ART ESSENTIAL IN EDUCATION Miss Marsden, adviser of the Caduceus sec- tion pages, reveals her own sincere love of art when she laments that she never will “. . . feel satisfaction in the art work until very many more citizens of Commerce, Springfield, and our country feel the importance and need of art in education.”” Her sister Ruth echoes the same sentiment.
