WHY I PREFER HUMAN MUSIC ARLEEN BASS (Arleen Bass a 310 member of the 9A class won first prize honors and twenty-five dollars in cash in a local music essay contest with this essay.) I jet us picture for a moment Heethoven the great composer, entering a modem movie house. As he is about to ascend the huge carpeted staircase he pauses a moment and then taps the shoulder of an usher standing near. “Pray tell me,” he requests, “what that sound I hear may be.” The usher looks at the inquirer with a puzzled expression upon his face. “Oh, you mean the music?” “Music!” a look of incredulity appears on the composer’s countenance. “Surely you are mistaken! Music!” He is extremely indignant, but presently his face softens and an amused look appears, as if he were enjoying inward mirth. “Music,” he muses and his smile fades into one of deep pity. “Poor souls,” he murmurs, turning away, “they know not the beauty of real tones.” This is somewhat the same impression we get upon entering a theatre where artificial music is played. The mechanical sound offends our sensitive ears, and if we are used to true music we cannot enjoy the picture through which it plays. Down with canned music! Forward with real musicians! Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.

Many the hours we’ve spent with thee Pond'ring on English and C. L. P. The paper we’ve brought for your paper sales Would build a pile higher than all our fails; But though we must go you’ll always know That we are for Jefferson High. Jefferson, Jefferson, We bid goodbye to Jefferson. We’ve talked when we shouldn’t in every room. In music wo couldn’t quite sing in tune. More education we leave to learn In West High and Central, but we’ll return; For the scarlet and black will bring us back To Jefferson, our Junior High. AN SB TO THE 9A’S HELEN STEIN METZ The 9A’s are a merry group, Oh! a merry group are they. They bustle around, a-selling tickets, All the live-long day. The 9A’s are a busy group, Gathering subscriptions for the paper. Hear their merry laughter ring, As in and out of rooms they caper. Oh! a happy, merry group are they We’re all very sorry they’re going away, The 9A’s we’ll ne’er forget, Their leaving we’ll e’er regret. Oh! good-bye happy group of 9A’s.

SOME JEFFERSONIAN SAYINGS 1 have ever deemed it more honorable and profitable, too, to set a good example than to follow a bad one. Conscience is the only clue that will eternally guide a man clear of all doubts and inconsistencies. WONDERS OF THE AMERICAN DESERT Mile; and miles of painted sa; d stre.ch onward like an endless sea. Sagebrush and cactus are the only vegetation. A lew Mexican s in their adobe huts are the only inhabitants. Many tin cans and dilapidated cars that line the road are mute evidences that civilization has found its way to this silent place also. All the forces cf man are making this spot blossom forth in all its glory. The great American desert, one landmark that has stood through the ages, is slowly brt surely being conquered. CLASS HISTORY OF ROOM 307 Continued from Page 4 We are 9A’s at last, and, in the final election for the whole 9A group, two of our own members have been honored: Elizabeth Ann Fawkes was elected secretary, and John Erb, treasurer. We greatly regret leaving this splendid school and wish to thank Mr. Sifert and our teachers for the way they have tried to lead us to success in our studies, and victory in our sports.
