If-,fx ,.w.j -, fe ,-y,-J All lil llfli Elllgf I TO THE MEN OF THE CLASS OF JUNE I94I: l undersTand ThaT The Theme oT your ClinTonian is Music. Now, music-one oT The greaTesT of The arTs which man has evolved-possesses a sTrong aesTheTic appeal To nearly all of us. However, The same music does noT make iTs appeal To all.: The savage in The iungle responds emoTionally To The rhyThmic beaTing oT his Tom-Tom. AT The oTher end of! The social scale, The culTured person delighTs only in The harmonies oT The greaT composers. Somewhere beTween The Two, There is a vasT Tield of Toll! music, which has moTivaTed peoples all over The world To deTermine in no small degree The Type of civilizaTion which They desire. While music iTselT is an arT, iT has a Tirm basis in scienTiTic principles: namely, The immuTable laws oT Physics. As you leave DeWiTT ClinTon High School, iT is our hope ThaT in your lives There will always be music To charm you and To enchanT your ears, music oT a high order oT meriT, ThaT will make Tor you so sTrong an appeal ThaT you will Tind inTroduced inTo your lives beauTy and oTher aesTheTic qualiTies. BuT iusT as music iTselT is based on sound scienTiTic principles, so your lives, iT They are To be Tull and compleTe, musT be based upon sound eThical principles. IT is our TondesT hope ThaT The years you have spenT in ClinTon have helped you To develop eThical concepTs To such a degree ThaT you are noT only willing buT eager To build your lives around Them. They should be your Tirm ToundaTion, and we TrusT ThaT They are. Wherever you go and whaTever you do, may happiness be your loT! Q7 iciwi Principal 4

UVERTURE We are living in a paradoxical era. There is plenTy and There is famine: There is despondency and There is hope: There is The sun oT democracy and There are The clouds of ToTaliTarianismg There is The song of life and There is The symphony of deaTh . . . To provide a more pleasanT and appealing aTmos- phere, The ClinTonian-your index oT Tour momenTous years -has chosen music as iTs Theme. IT is our profound hope ThaT iT will prove iTselT a saTisTacTory medium Through which we may escape from worldly realiTy inTo The realm of happy memories oT The pasT. 6
