?7 MUSIC Under fhe direclion of Miss Grace Jones, Eas+ern's music depar+men+ has faken a viral pari' in our war acfivify here a+ school by reaching fhe songs and music of our own counfry, our Allies, and our Lafin American neighbors. Perhaps fhe musicians 'irained af Easfern will some day enierfain our soldiers ai' U.S.O. organizaiions, can+eens, or clubs. Music liffs 'ihe hearfs and spirifs of war-+orn counfries, eases +he ragged edges of war nerves, and fakes us in+o a world of lovely melody and song. For fhese reasons, music will always enioy a high place in any school cur- riculum. Even wi+h fhe war program, however, +he music deparfmeni' has noi neglecfed i+s fradifional concer+s nor 'lhe singing of 'I'he familiar carols ai' Chrisimas fime, +o which all Eas+erni+es look forward as one of +he mos+ impressive and beaufiful 'iradifions of our school. The band, in fheir snappy uniforms, added a gay nofe +o +he foofball season wifh rendi+ions of 'ihe game's +radi+ional pieces and fhe ever-preseni corps of preffy drum maiorefies s+ruH'ing dramaiically a+ +he head. The orchesfra performed well a+ +he senior plays and +he concerfs, and should be commended especially for i+s fine music a+ +he commencemeni' exercises. All ihe vocal classes, fhough less well known +han +he special groups, are fraining sfudenis' voices and are fruly adhering +o +he moH'o, Keep America Singing . The value of music during war fime cannoi' be over- looked, and our music deparfmeni' is doing an especially fine job af fhis fime.
