Farinacci, to his predecessors: Mr. F. B. Bowden- Weber, Mr. Mark Hindsley, Mr. Schweikher, Mr. E. B. Downey, Mr. Percy, Mr. Ralph E. Rush, and Mr. Raymond Gerkowski-all of whom contributed to the building of this fine department, which could be used as a model by any school seeking improvement of its Instrumental Departmentg also to Mr. O. E. Hill, Superintendent of Cleveland Heights City School District, an outstanding educator whose vision has been a stimulant to the development of this great departmentg to Mr. E. E. Morley, former principal, and Mr. Donald E. Roe, Principal, who have encouraged the department and its directors and who have furnished sound counsel in the solution of the many problemsg to the Cleveland Heights Band and Orchestra Parents' Organizationg and to the boys and girls who were the pioneer members of these organi- zations and who set a high standard of morale and of musical pro- ficiency to remain as a challenge to the members each year. Whatever is Worth doing is worthy of being done in a superior manner as is being proved each year at the Cleveland Heights High School In- strumental Department.
