On occasion I tire of my own screeching sour notes and want to hear true harmony. In the music building the orchestra played sweet and soothing music, sometimes. Mr. Sam Kosowsky, director of our bond and orchestra, and the group captured the feeling in music so well that they were invited to play at the Jordan Jamboree, the April Music Concert and the Music Festival as well as at Long Beach clubs. Ensembles were formed by some of the stringed instrument players and they entertained during parties and banquets throughout the year.

Thirty-five cats, all meowing and squealing and scratching and clawing together — it ' s the fifty- two Jordan band in the new music buil ding and auditorium. As Tommy Trailblazer, I spent most of my time pounding on those drums. Could I ever make noise! We were sensational during the fall seo.-on when our football team paraded before the sports fans; and we were so talented and enter- taining that we won an award at the Santa Clous Parade in Hollywood. Such a purrsotional year with Herb Beggs and Lorry Strom as drum majors! Beginning Musicians Clow at those keys, cot, claw! Or so was the procedure in Mrs. Dorothy Rankin Smith ' s piano classes. We learned the his- tory of music, note reading and new piano techniques plus the development of styles and interests in the art of music. The Jor- dan Jamboree and concerts did much to build pianists of the future. Although yours truly. Tommy Trailblazer, was in the group at the left, the photographer snapped the picture while I was picking Beethoven ' s Fifth from the floor. Page Fifty-lhree
