To dream . . . the impossible dream 16 Since the beginning of time, Man has chanced to dream the im- possible dream ... He has fought the unbeatable foe ... He has won ... He has lost. . . During our years at Etowah High School our study of the triumphs and the failures of mankind has impressed upon us that we, too, must reach for the stars despite the chance of failure. The spire atop our stone building, as it points to the stars, serves to remind us that “A man’s reach must exceed his grasp ...” Whereas we set our hopes and sights for the stars . . .We have now virtually reached a galaxy of realizations ... We are Seniors now and we are fulfilling one of life’s greatest achievements . . . We are graduating . . . We are now approaching a remarkable in- terim which is the great gulf separating our aspirations and our accomplishments . . . Through the last twelve years we have span- ned these waters time and again . . . We have sought our stars . . . At times we have found them ... At other times we were not so fortunate . . . We have often dared to run where the brave would not go . . . Unconscious of that which lay ahead, but facing the inevitable with a great deal of acceptance, because we know that life holds many surprises for us all . . . We must now loose the bonds that have always held us and re- place them with the independence and stamina that are necessary to gain success ... By faith in ourselves and in God we shall be successful . . . Thereby taking another step toward the UN- REACHABLE STAR! Audrey Brooks 18 INTRODUCING... Mr. Joe York came to Etowah this year bringing with him a new “rotating schedule”, club meetings every Tuesday, and an assembly each Friday. This system proved to be a welcome relief for the students, since classes met only four days a week, and each day was different than the one before. Mr. York received his B.S. degree from Jackson- ville University, M.S. degree from Auburn University, and A.A. degree from the University of Alabama. Mr. York served two and a half years with the U.S. Army in New Guinea, Australia. He then became principal of Alexander City Elementary School for two years, Talladega County High School in Lincoln, Alabama for nine years, Greene County High School in Eutaw, Alabama for six years, Glencoe High School for five years, and then here at Etowah High School for an exceedingly long length of time, we hope. As principal of Etowah, Mr. York has had his headaches with the many projects and programs on which each club has worked diligently, but he has always shown excellent patience and abounding good humor. Under his guidance Etowah was able to buy a most coveted royal blue velvet curtain, and the gym received a beautiful paint job. Mr. York is certainly a most respected principal and disciplinarian. The students at Etowah High School realize how fortunate they are to have such a person guiding them. OFFICE STAFF PROVES EFFICIENCY Elaine Brooks Amelia Cartrett Ruth Paulding Pauline York “Young lady, this is your third pass in two days!” Mr. Ray Campbell has been a great addition to the administration of Etowah High School. As assistant principal he has many duties, a few of which are ad- mitting late students, signing absentee slips, checking out students, applying punishment, and many others that are too numerous to mention. Since coming to Etowah, he has worked very closely with and has gained the respect of both the students and the teachers. He has helped revitalize a wrestling team which Etowah has been without for many years. From these few facts it can be seen that Mr. Campbell has become a great asset to the school in more ways than one. There are many duties to be carried out in the office of a school and Etowah is very fortunate to have a competent and capable staff to attend to these duties. Mrs. Pauline York is the school secretary and has a tedious job of keeping the record books and many more important responsibilities. Mrs. Elaine Brooks and Mrs. Ruth Paulding play essential roles in the office. Their duties range from helping the teachers in various ways to substituting when the teachers are absent. Mrs. Millie Cartrett advises the sophomores and juniors as to their curriculum and the seniors as to a vocation. All of these staff members are necessary for the smooth operation of Etowah High School.

Glad- den and his assistants have taken over the endless task of maintaining school cleanliness, of keeping the playing fields mowed, and of keeping the plumbing in order. We very easily take these things for granted, but without Mr. Gladden’s undercover work we could hardly have a well functioning school. To be capable of producing 800 lunches a day requires extensive planning and much hard work. Our lunchroom staff possesses all these requirements and more. They are talented that they can put out nutricious well balanced meals every school day of the year. We are fortunate in having such a well trained ancillary personnel. The students and faculty salute these people for their dedication to our school. Edward Thaxton, John Davis, C.S.

And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When 1 put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam. When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home, turns home. Twilight and evening bell. And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When 1, when 1 embark; For, tho from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When 1 have crossed the bar. Alfred Tennyson A friend to all, and fellow student, Debra Jones was taken from us as the result of an automobile accident. She was a credit to Etowah students and faculty and also a poet who was quite adept with words and very much in touch with humanity. All of us who knew her have reserved a special place in our hearts and minds for those memories which will never fade. SENIOR DIRECTORY JUDY ADAMS—Choral 10; FHA 10; FBLA 11; VIC A 12.

Saxon, The Student Council has had a very active year; we have been involved in numerous projects. The activities for the officers started in late July when we all attended an AASC workshop at Florence State University. Also during the summer we met with Mr. York and assembled the student handbook for 1968-69. These handbooks were given to each student during the first week of school. The annual fall candy sale was a great success- thanks to the homeroom presidents. The profit from this project was used to purchase a blue velvet curtain for the stage. The Student Council has been responsible for ar- ranging the assembly program schedule, keeping announcements on the signs, and handling class and student council elections. T. Bailey, B. Styles, C.

Lee, with several outstanding players, proved to be a very strong opponent. The Generals were able to control the game the first half. It was early in the second quarter that Lee scored after a sustained drive. After that a stingy defense, led by Roy Farley and Larry Foster, never allowed Lee to score again. Late in the game a single play changed the entire picture of the game. An electrifying 83-yard touch- down run by Jerry Garner put the Devils back in the game. Johnny Phillips kicked the all important extra point that tied the game. ETOWAH 14 BESSEMER 6 The Blue Devils picked up their first win of the season over the always tough Purple Tigers of Bessem- er. The game was dominated by fine defensive play on both sides while the offensive teams had some trouble getting off the ground. The Tigers scored first when they recovered a fumble deep in Devil territory and converted it into an easy score. The Devils came roaring back to take a one point lead just before the end of the first half on the touchdown run of Wayne McKinney and the extra point by Johnny Phillips. The final score of the night came when Junior Williams ran for 16 yards around right end for six points. Johnny Phillips again added the extra point. This is the first time in 3 years that the Blue Devils have beaten Bessemer by more than one point. A fine defensive effort made by Roy Farley, Wilbert Howard and Larry Daugherty helped make this victory possible. Blaine Dollar, Brent Styles, and Ron- nie Sarratt played well on offense. ETOWAH 23 ANNISTON 0 The Blue Devils won the second game of the season with a convincing 23 to 0 shut out over the Anniston Bulldogs. The game was rather slow at first but Johnny Phillips got things started in the second quar- ter with a 33 yard field goal. With only 15 seconds left in the first half Larry Foster grabbed a 9 yard pass from Blaine Dollar for the only touchdown in the first half. The third quarter had just started when the Devils scored again. A long pass to Wayne McKinney got 6 points and Johnny Phillips added the extra point. On the first play after the kickoff the Bulldogs fumbled and the Devils scored again. This time Jerry Gamer ran around right end for 13 yards. Mike Holderfield, Mike Thompson, Wilbert Howard, and Mike Lincoln all stood out on defense. Blaine Dollar, hitting 10 of 19 for 172 yards, and Jr. Wil- liams, running 80 yards is 16 carries, were bright spots for the offensive team. ETOWAH 7 GADSDEN 35 Junior tries to break clear of a tiger’s den. The Gadsden game is always the biggest game of the season for the Devils, and this year it also turned out to be the biggest disappointment. A lot of plan- ning and work had been put forth by both players and students only to see it all go down the drain. Gadsden, playing perfect ball the entire game, won by one of the biggest margins ever over a Blue Devil team. The score was 14 to 7 at the half and there was still hope that this could be reversed, but injuries to key players made Gadsden’s task even easier in the second half. The game started out to be the hard-hitting affair it has always been. From the fust, though, the Tigers seemed to get all the breaks. John Croyle, Gadsden’s star end, blocked a Devil punt early in the first quar- ter that resulted in the first score of the night. Gads- den scored again before the second ended to build up a 14 to 0 lead. Larry Foster provided the only bright spot for Etowah with a beautiful catch in the second quarter that resulted in the only score for the Devils. Johnny Phillips added the extra point to make the score 14 to 7 at the half. The third and forth quarter proved to be all Gads- den. The Devils tried to play catch-up football, but everything seemed to go wrong. Gadsden kept playing deliberate football and con- tinued to score. A touchdown in the third period for Gadsden helped to put the game out of reach. The Tigers scored twice more before the game ended. This 35 to 7 victory proved to be one of the biggest wins the Tigers had this season. Hey man, turn me loose! 94 Mike Lincoln takes on John Croyle. ETOWAH 28 ALBERTVILLE 0 Homecoming activities helped revive the old Blue Devil spirit after the loss to Gadsden. Before the game there was a feeling of uncertainty, but after the opening kickoff Blaine Dollar and company quickly began to show who had the best team on the field. The first score of the game came in the second quar- ter when junior quarterback Blaine Dollar raced around left end for six points. Albertville, having trouble moving the ball by a stiff Etowah defense, was forced to punt deep in its own territory. Mike Lincoln, a junior defensive back, broke through and blocked the punt. Larry Foster picked up the loose ball and scampered for 10 yards for the fined score of the first half. The last half was completely controlled by Etowah. Blaine Dollar got the Devils started again when he scored his second touchdown of the night on a two yard run. Wayne McKinney added the last six point- er of the night on a 35 yard touchdown pass from Dollar. Johnny Phillips had a perfect night on extra points, going 4 for 4. ETOWAH 9 EMMA SANSOM 6 This game with the cross-town rivals proved to be one of the hardest contests of the season. The Rebels have had some dismal seasons in the past few years, but this year they began to put things together and proved that they had a team to be proud of. It seemed for a while that this year they were going to be able to grab a victory from the Devils, but the defensive work of Mike Lincoln, Roy Farley, Mike Thompson, Mike Holderfield and Wilbert Howard prevented this. The game was truly a defensive struggle. Emma Sansom’s Kenneth Peppers was selected a defensive player of the week for his efforts against the Devils. Etowah had several player’s that played some of the best defensive ball for a Blue Devil team since Coach Glover has been here. The Rebels scored their only touchdown of the night in the second quarter. The extra point failed, but they took a six point lead that stood until after the half. Larry Foster and Mike Lincoln provided the big break that won the game. The Rebel’s were punting deep in their own territory. Foster and Lincoln block- ed the punt and Lincoln picked up the loose ball and scored. Johnny Phillips added the point that won the game with his extra point kick. Later in the third quarter Wilbert Howard added some insurance with a 2 point safety. He was able to bring down the Rebel quarterback behind their goal line. Terry Hulsey makes a dash for the goal line. ETOWAH 40 ARAB 0 The Blue Devils were able to put on their biggest offensive show of the year against the Arabian Knights. The game was never in doubt as the Devils, led by Larry Foster’s three touchdowns, quickly took control of the game and put it beyond Arab’s reach. Larry Foster, playing one of his best games this year, scored first on a 1-yard plunge. Wilbert Howard added another touchdown before halftime on an 8 yard pass from Blaine Dollar. Larry Foster broke things open in the third quarter with two touchdowns. One came on a beautiful 39 yard run in which he practically ran over several Arab defenders. The other touchdown was a 4 yard dive. Wayne McKinney scored on a 75 yard pass, his longest touchdown run of the season. Ricky Lowery added the final six pointer on a 2 yard run. John Phillips hit on 4 of 6 extra points. This game was marked by some fine defensive play. Larry Foster, Wayne McKinney, Wilbert Howard, Steve Gaines, John Phillips, and Wayne Townsel all intercepted passes. Terry Hulsey played a fine game at halfback, making several outstanding runs. 97 Wayne McKinney escapes a dynamic duo. ETOWAH 20 GUNTERSVILLE 7 The Devils wanted to win this game very much, for last year Guntersville knocked Etowah out of a trip to the state playoffs. It didn’t take long for Etowah to prove that they were going to win this game at all costs. Junior Williams got things started with his first of 3 interceptions of the game. A Blaine Dollar pass to Wayne McKinney accounted for the first score. Junior’s second interception helped set up another touchdown. This time Larry Foster scored from the one foot line. The third touchdown for the Devils came when Blaine Dollar sprinted 19 yards around left end. John Phillips hit on 2 of 3 extra points. The Wildcats came out strong the second half but the Devils only allowed them 7 points. Chief stoppers for the Devils were Roy Farley and Mike Lincoln. Both boys had one interception each. Larry Foster, Junior Williams, Mike Lincoln, and Terry Hulsey made several fine runs. Thomas Bailey, Brent Styles, Larry Daugherty, and Rex Robinson played well on the offensive line. Brent Styles (52) anticipates a hard landing. 98 ETOWAH 22 TUSCALOOSA 7 The Blue Devils made a long trip to Tuscaloosa to defeat the Tuscaloosa County Wildcats 22 to 7 in freezing weather. The Devils had some trouble the first half, but came out the second half to play some fine football to win an important game over an aroused bunch of Wildcats. The Devils’ first score came early in the game on a pass from Blaine Dollar to Wayne McKinney. The PAT failed. The Wildcats came roaring back and scored in the second quarter to take the lead at half. Etowah came out of their thaw and put the heat on the Wildcats in the second half. A blocked punt by Mike Thompson accounted for a touchdown. John Phillips added the extra point. Later in the third quarter Larry Foster scored the final touch- down. Again John Phillips hit the extra point. The final two points came when a host of Blue Devils tackled a Wildcat back with the ball behind the goal line. Mike Lincoln, Larry Foster, and Junior Williams provided the running power for the Devils. The of- fensive play stood out with Brent Styles, Rex Robinson, and Thomas Bailey turning in a fine performance. Larry Daugherty, Roy Farley, Wilbert Howard, and Mike Holderfield played important parts in stopping Tuscaloosa County. An upended Wildcat doesn’t slow down Junior. 99 Roy predicts the upcoming game in his elegant speech. “Somebody’s always getting in my way.” ETOWAH 6 GADSDEN 0 When people start remembering all the big vic- tories that Coach Jim Glover has had at Etowah, this win in the Charity Bowl over the same team that had beaten Etowah 35 to 7 in regular season play will rank right at the top. The Blue Devils were the only obstacle in the Tigers’ path to the state playoffs. It proved to be enough to derail the Tigers, who before this game were in third place. The Devils’ defense proved to be the winning factor in the game. Gadsden was never allowed to go past Etowah’s 27 yard line. Roy Farley, Larry Daugherty, Ronnie Sarratt, Robert Wood, Junior Williams, Larry Foster, and Mike Holderfield all played important parts in never letting Gadsden score. There were several outstanding plays in the game. The first was Wayne McKinney’s run to the thirty yard line. This drive was stopped. Junior Williams set up the only touchdown of the night. He ran down to the twenty yard line. A fumbled inside the five killed this drive, but Wil- bert Howard got it right back for the Devils two plays later on another fumble. After stalling again a field goal try by John Phillips was off. Gadsden punted and the Devils started driving again. Larry Foster helped with two catches in this drive. A Blaine Dollar pass to John Phillips from 20 yards out resulted in six points. The extra point failed. The last half proved to be all Etowah’s. The Devils were not to be denied this win. They never let Gadsden get close to scoring while they played preventive defense the rest of the game. Wayne McKinney was voted the Most Valuable Back and Wilbert Howard, Most Valuable Lineman. These along with the rest of the Devil team were responsible. “Hey man, how ’bout that! EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP ESSENTIAL FOR A WINNING BLUE DEVIL TEAM Team Captain—Roy Farley Team Captain—Larry Daugherty Head Manager—Ronnie Warren Manager Cecil Nelson S-T-R-E-T-C-H Thompson!! Spring came late to Etowah and with it came rain—plenty of rain. Due to this rain and cold weather, spring training for baseball was postponed for several weeks, as was the official start of the baseball season. However, once the season began the weather had no real effect upon the team. Trained and conditioned by Coach Hubbard and Coach Duke, Etowah's Diamond Devils were pre- pared to go from the first moment foot met field. Each boy played hard and well, ultimately produc- ing one of the finest seasons the Devils have had. The Devils played eighteen regular season games and compiled an overall record of fourteen wins and four losses. The hitting attack was led by Larry Foster, whose batting average reached a remarkable .510. While slugging deserves half the credit, pitching claims the other 50%. Etowah presented an outstanding pitching staff—top hurler being Pete Horton who boasted a record of 6-1. The third factor which must be reviewed in ac- counting for the Devils’ success would naturally be the support. Many spectators were always on hand to cheer their team in victory, or, if necessary, in defeat. Some came to watch from idle curiosity and left with a brain full of baseball strategy and the desire to come back for more. All in all, the 1969 baseball team accomplished what it primarily set out to do—play hard and well, entertain, and win! BASEBALL Colvin gives the boys a few pointers. 105 First row—Broadhead, Meeks, McCampble, Horton, Thompson, Carroll, Blackwell, Driskell, Reeves, Colvin, Coach Hubbard. Second row—Brooks, Vickery, Clayton, Lewis, Dollar, Lincoln, L. Foster, H. Foster, Sauls. SENIORS The Blue Devil squad for 1969 proved to be a rel- atively young one, boasting only four seniors. The positions of centerfield and catcher were very capably filled by Larry Foster and Harry Foster, respectively, while Tommy Lewis handled second base with no- table skill. Gerald Broadhead, a fine utility outfielder, completed the quartet by substituting in centerfield.

Etowah, center of a well-developed sports pro- gram, added wrestling to its list. When Mr. Camp- bell and his boys presented the first wrestling match at Etowah High School, they must have been surprised by the pep and the crowd participa- tion with which they were greeted. Unknowing students and teachers were instantly transformed into interested fans. The crowd that left that first day was apparently eager for more. In just one short season wrestling has found a home at Etowah. Since most of the wrestling team were not seniors, they should be seasoned athletes by autumn. Wrestling promises to become a point of major interest soon.

VARSITY IN ACTION This year a lot was expected of the Devil Basketball team, and the team lived up to its expectations. Jimmy Story, Cornell Rogers, Bill Walker, and Ronald Rogers, all starters on last year’s team, were expected to carry the team, and they did just that. They re- ceived help from seniors Junior Williams, Thomas Bailey, and Hershel Rodgers; juniors Mickey Nunn, Mike Thompson, Donald Penn, Jackie Carroll, and Sophomore Ronald Young. The Devils played their best in the tournaments. The Devils came in third place in the Holiday Tourna- ment, winning three games. These wins came over state powers Butler, Sidney Lanier, and Lee of Huntsville. Cobb of Anniston was the only team to beat Etowah in this event. The Devils placed second in the NEAC tournament. They picked up wins over Carver and Guntersville, but failed to win the final game over Gadsden. The Regional Tournament was the only disappointment, with the Devils being knocked out in the first round by Carver. This year the Devils played the hardest schedule in the history of the school. Lee, Carver, Mountain Brook, Banks, and Huntsville were added to the schedule. This year’s record (14-12) is not the best; but against this schedule, it proves to be a fine ac- complishment. Bill Walker goes high over a Rebel defender for two points. Mike Bynum and Wayne Petersen serve faithfully as team managers. Mike Thompson goes for two as Thomas Bailey looks on. 1968-1969 B TEAM Blaine Clayton, Jerry Reeves, Greg Cash, Lynn Driskell, Mike Holderfield, Mike Bowman, Bruce Bailey, Randy Young, Bobby Guthrie, Winfred Cylar, Coach Thomas Moore. Under the capable leadership of Coach Thomas Moore, the “B” Team basketball team proved to have a fine season. The team was made up of juniors Mike Holderfield, Jerry Reeves, Mike Bowman, and sopho- mores Blaine Clayton, Greg Cash, Lynn Driskell, Bruce Bailey, Randy Young, Bobby Guthrie, and Winfred Cylar. Two of these boys were later moved up to the varsity team. They were Ronald Young and Lynn Driskell. This team had several outstanding players and should be of valuable service to the varsity team next year. Jerry Reeves won the trophy awarded to the out- standing foul shooter of the “B” Team. This trophy was awarded at the annual basketball banquet. Mike Bowman is all alone for two points against Banks. 124 Only Mike “the Moose” Holderfield could shoot a basketball and hold hands at the same time. Many long and tiring hours of practice are required to make a top basketball team. Blaine Clayton adds spiritual support to Lynn Driskell’s shot. 1968-69 FOOTBALL TEAM 1968-69 BASKETBALL TEAM 126 1968-69 WRESTLING TEAM 1969 CLASS DAY PROGRAM WITH GRADUATION COMES THE REALIZATION THAT WE HAVE A FUTURE TO BEGIN tl CORONAT]$N QUEEN WBLrol connerU rPRINCESS A !TY GARNER RLEY [ PRINCESS AND XL FARLEY SENIOR FA VORITES fc' •TOM',VK S 'LL JUNIOR FA VORITES [ILINDASAULS DAN OSBORN BOBBY GUTHRIE ANN NELMS BRUCE BAILEY MISTRESS OF CEREM' ARLEEN SNOW Our four Salutatorians—Mike Bowden, Joyce Howard, Galen are pacesetters in the fact that they lead the entire student Moore, Audrey Brooks—and our Valedictorian—Olen Pruitt— body.

Mrs. Huffstutler’s artistic homeroom wins first place in door decorations. With the help of band boosters such as Mrs. Spivey, Etowah is able to win this huge trophy as a result of being first place in the Royal Crown Cola contest. 7. L ACHIEVEMENTS The P.T.A. saves the day for us by purchasing two new walkways. The Exchange Club of Attalia presents Etowah with the Freedom Shrine which consists of patriotic plaques. L . J t Bs ' v DEVIL BAND The Etowah Blue Devil Band is more than an or- ganization; it is a way of life. Through working many hours together during the summer, during school, and after school, band members are drawn together by a special bond. Under the direction of Mr. Tommy E. Cole, the band has performed in several contests, in- cluding the Dogwood Arts Festival in Knoxville, Tennessee, the Tri-State Marching Band Contest in Rossville, Georgia, the Mid-South Marching Band Festival in Gadsden, and District Concert Band Com- petition. The band also participates in various local parades and has helped several non-profit organiza- tions in money raising campaigns. The band also came in first place in the Royal Crown Cola “Do Something Mad for Your School Contest’ with the help of the entire student body and band boosters. The band presents several concerts during the year and their performances at football halftimes are a welcomed change of pace during the game. MEDAL WINNERS: First row—Westcott, Nelms, Bain, Kelley, Northcutt, Whorton. Second row—Overstreet, Lowery, Jacobs, Moore, Cox, Chapman, Quarles. Third row—Chapman, Oliver, Campbell, Hammond, Conner, Goza. Fourth row—Steapleton, Hinton, White, Klein, Couch, Kilgo. Fifth row— Cothran, Gilliland, Washburn, Collier, Reynolds, Groover. The band is guided by the matchless leadership of Mr. Cole. Mark Chapman makes the famed All-State Honor Band. BEST BAND? DEVIL BAND! The band shows its stuff as it performs in front of Knoxville judges. The clarinet section lays down horns to dance to the beat of “Soul Finger! The Drummers: What to do with them? What to do without them? Many after-school hours are spent for each per- formance. ROOKIE DA Y Rookies await their fate. Guru Benny Wade leads Rookies to their doom. Butch! You have a runner in your stocking! Dorothy Broadhead is crowned “Rookie for a day.” Galen gives her famous monologue on her boots.

They are educational as well as functional. Students learn mu- sic fundamentals which enables them to appreciate music more fully as an art, to use music as a perform- ing medium, and also to gain a much envied posi- tion in the “Singers”. These groups, along with the “Etowah Singers”, compose the “Etowah Chorus”, which performs several concerts throughout the year. These musical groups are under the leadership of Mr. Cole. OFFICERS: D. Smith, D. Conner, P. Thompson, C. Brasseale. “Etowah Singers” OFFICERS: President—B. Wade, Vice-President—Mike Burgess, Secretary-Treas- urer—G. Moore, Reporter-J. Osborn, Accom- panist—M. Chapman. CHORAL AWARD WINNERS: Galen Moore, Benny Wade ETOWAH SINGERS ALL-STATE CHORUS MEMBERS: J. Osborn, S. Rasberry, G. Moore, B. Wade, M. Chapman The “Etowah Singers”, Etowah’s select choral group, is composed of some of the finest talent in the school and state. They have become a familiar and welcomed sight at school assemblies, programs, and concerts. The choir received three “superior” ratings this year at District Contest. At State Con- test, they received an “excellent” rating and a “su- perior” rating in sight reading. Five members of the group were selected to perform in the 1969 All- State Honor Chorus which performed in Mobile at the Southern Music Educators’ Conference. The group has a large repertoire, ranging from novelty songs to the finest, classical, vocal literature. 167 168 ART These smiling few have nothing to do with Speech and Drama.
