The Scout Legion Commander .................................... ROBERT VVABD Vice-Commander .............................. GEORGE SMITH Secretary and Treasurer ..................... JOHN HERRNSTEIN Sergeant-of-Arms. ............................ HAROLD STONER HIS is a new club at East High, but it has made excellent progress consider- ing the handicap of getting older boys interested in scoutcraft. Its main object is to provide an association of older scouts and students interested in scnutcraft. and in activities of social, recreational, vocational, and scholastic nature. The Legion is under the direct charge of Mr. Peoples, but also has an advisory board of several prominent business men. This is the first attempt to form an organization of older scouts who want to strengthen their friendship with boys their own age. The meetings are held semi-monlhly, and interesting programs are arminged. We hope that the Scout Legion, building on the experience of its first year, may grow to become one of the most influential and helpful clubs of East High. JOHN HERRNSTEIN. 113

u HAT IIAS ML'SIC MEANT T0 YOIlw-AND XVl-IAT MESSAGE HAS IT V RI FOR HUMANITY THROLTGH YOLT'V This is the question I would have you ask yourselves at the close of your four years. For music, evanes- cent and intangible, unlike her sister arts, puinling and sculpture, makes its appeal to the soul and not to tho eye. Through its spirituality, it uplifls and ennobles; it inspires and makes glad. To those who live and move in the lower strata of thought, and who never get :n'uy from the sordid things of life, good music makes no mm 411. To them. it is :1 d lad thing. But how different to those who have entered into its sublime lumnings. its sweeping cadences its beautiful and ever-changing harmonics. , Millions of dollars are being spent annually by the Boards of Education of our country for the teaching of public St'llOOl music. Many colleges are already accepting students with music credits; and prominent public-spirited men, such as our own President Harding, are beginning to see, as never before, that the future of Amori 11, along the line of culturl and national ideals, will depend largely upon its music. So, Seniors of the Class of 1923, 1050. no opportunity of hearing good music; feed not upon the husks when it is within your power to choose the best; and thus enrich your minds and soulsl The poet wrote: ch live in deeds, not years, In thoughts, not breaths. ln feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives, who thinks most, Feels tho noblest, acts the best. JOSEPH Sumo. 114
