] Q 0 ISAPHINE M RICHEY Music MUSIC. What passion can not Music raise and quell? When Jubal struck the chorded shell. His listening brethren stood around. And, wondering, on their faces fell To worship that celestial sound: Less than a god they thought there could not dwell Within the hollow of that shell. That spoke so sweetly, and so well. What passion can not Music raise and quell? John Dryden. Q Q CERTAINLY Music has a wonderful power. C Although it is not considered as ranking first (S among the arts, yet to many it is above every- thing else. The most essential aid in the study of Music is a competent instructor, and we have been fortunate in having one in Miss Richey. Hav- ing been with us for three years we have learned to under- stand her directions thoroughly. The best result shown by the work of the chorus and the individual pupils was dispayed in the Operetta “Syl- via. ’ ’ The music in this Operetta was beautiful, and was well sung by all those who participated. The Operetta was considered a success, and also one of the best pro- ductions in the history of the school. This success may be attributed to the efforts of Miss Richey who directed the music, and Miss Eunic e Roper the dramatic work. Still another important feature was the accompaniment by Miss Ellwyn Roper with the violin, and Mr. Paul Bruebach with the traps. The choruses studied during the year are “Waltz from Faust” by Charles Gounod, “The Lake” by William Lewis, “The Summer Fancy” by Henry Hadley, “The Two Grenadiers” by Robert Schuman, “The Serenade” by Franz Schubert. When we have our last class in Music, memories of the many cheerful hours we have passed in singing, dur- ing our four vears of High School, will linger in our song. ALICE SARVER. J3 — a

Q £7 EUNICE ROPER German and English GERMAN. FTER a Freshman learns the German alphabet and how to trill his r’s he thinks any other language would be a cinch to learn. For many weeks after he begins German, he may be heard making a noise suggestive of shredded wheat or corn flakes at breakfast time. The more sea- soned “Deutcher Gelehrte” listen to his attempts with disgust. After the grammar work of the Freshman year is over, then the fun begins. Such stories as, “Immensee” and “Holier als die Kirclie,” were delightful to some of the students on account of their sentimental qualities and many a blush was wasted while reading these stories. In our Junior year when we entered the Class with the Seniors we thought we would be “swamped” by their greater knowledge but in spite of this, we succeeded splendidly with “Die Katzensteg” and “Minna von Barnhelm.” Our Senior year was entered with much enthusiasm in our work because, having three years of German we were able to read and translate fluently. “Die Jungfrau von Orleans” was enjoyed immensely by the class on ac- count of its mysterious nature. This was followed by “Die Journalisten, ” which was quite different from any we had studied before, it being a political drama. We owe our thanks to our German instructors, Mr. Zaugg, Miss Frank, and Miss Roper for their patience with the “dumpfkopfs” of the class, and we will always remember our teachers because German was the favorite study of our class.
