MR. L. E. BEHYMER MUSIC l3rainard says of iylusicz Cod is its author, and not many he laid the keynote of all harmoniesg he planned all perfect combinations, and he made us so that we can hear and understand. Music in itself is universal and so should be the love for it. Chief Detective Burns once said, in an address before the sheriffs, chiefs of police, and detectives of the United States, this pertinent fact: Show me a city with music in its homes, music ill its schools, and music in its parks, and I will show you a city with a minimum of crime. Strange words from a thief-catcher! Plato said: lVhen depression, discord. disappointment, and havoc seem to disturb tl1e harmony of a people: when everything else has apparently failed, resort to music, for, where there is music, there is harmony, and discord has no place. The art of a nation is a much truer index to its character. Music is a means of culture. It is one of the greatest and perhaps the greatest factor in civilization. Not until men shall use the art with tl1e spirit of reverence will it exercise those powers for which it is designed. The present generation of philosophers and teachers are only beginning to search for the real meaning and CXPlill'lZll'lO11 of the art. and they have not advanced sulhciently to answer even these simple questions, What Is Music? Wherein consists its great power? Confucius, 500 years before Christi, said : Music, sacred tongue of God, I hear thee calling and J. come. The steady growth of public appreciation and demand for good music in America is probably unique in the history of the world's civilization. The United States, like all other new countries. has been so extremely occupied in finding itself in business and pioneering, that it is only within the last few years that the people have fOUllCl time for the line arts. More particularly may this be applied to the whole country. with the exception of a very few art centers. Conditions and special privileges, flllil the fast growing wealth of this country, have enabled us to hear not only the best artists and composers in this country, but the best of the world's artists as well as the most notable musical compositions, properly performed, under even more elaborate auspices than have generally obtained upon their pre- sentation in liurope. Music has power because it is beautiful, and people learn to appreciate it by hearing it. This appreciation can be much aided by a sympathetic pointing out of the vital fact that it is good because it sounds well, and was written to be enjoyed. Music is not beautiful because it is mathematically accurate, but because it brings to us images of beauty that stimulate the senses in us, to which beauty appeals. So we should learn to listen to music, that we may open our ears and the senses of the charms of the tonal world. L. E. BEHvM121z. Before the days of radio broadcasts good music for most people was apt to be a rare treat, but now by careful selection 'we can enjoy really fine programs at almost any hour of the day. May 'we form the habit of listening only to the best. ROBT. A. THOMPSON. MRS. CARRIE M.

XV e have done this as an expression of our appreciation of what Music has meant to us during our stay at John Bur- roughs. Vtlas there ever a pep meeting or patriotic assembly at which the band was not called upon to furnish zest and spirit? At regular assemblies or special programs what pride we have taken in the excellent quality of the numbers given by the orchestra or one of the Glee Clubs. lVhat prosaic affairs school parties would have been without snappy dance music. for popular music does undeniably play an im- portant part in our social life. No matter what the future may hold in store for us we will always remember with a glow of pride those days of work and play lightened by music and song spent at the liairest and Dearest ,lohn Burroughs junior High. iXlARY Louise DRYER. i A GLJMPSIZ AT MUSIC 'lil-IOUCQHQ THE AGES :X fairy story has claimed the beginning of music. It is said that Pau, the God of Nature, heard the wind blowing the reeds which caused musical sounds to come from them. This gave Pan the idea to cut the reeds into different lengths and put them together. He then blew on them, thus the lirst instrument was made. The Chinese had music very early, as they had records of music several centuries before Marco Polo visited the land. 'l'he llebrews also had music very early, as the Bible tells us of priests who played their harps in King Solomon's court. In our country the negroes with their spirituals came into existence soon after they were brought to the United States. Classical music is not played and sung by as large a munber of people in our country as in other countries. '.l'he greatest opera stars and companies do not come to this country, as the crowds do not turn out. Mucl1 of our history has come down through, the ages by songs, chants, and ballads, as music was one of man's first hobbies.

Harold was very proud of the compiinenls Mrs. Stone, the Art super- visor, gave his picture, but his joy burst forth too soon, as the picture has been reduced and will be used as a taiipiece. ln the seat just behind l-laroid we lincl .lean Smith struggling over a design for the dress of her viol.n 13.Zly,1'. The next point of interest is where Sylvan Kaufman beams wiih prirle on his izi erpreation of a broadcasting station. Sylvan is only an :XS and deserves OU1' highest' esteem for his ability to keep up with the pace set by the NJ artis.s. Behind him is a H9 boy, Bud Towmey, who has competed the printing to be used on the cover of the Burr. Heading the next aisle is Bill Howe, our most reuownerl artist: be has com- pleted a striking picture of an organ grinder with his monkey, and is now working on the title page for the Univ. That busy group in the corner is composed of lillen Doody, working out the background for her picture of three small girls singing: Lillian Price, whose drawing shows music in connection with dancing: .loyce Rocleelc, putting martial music on paper, and llliriam XVentz, who is making the Ex Libris. In the seats by the windows are Georgia linettle. Louise Stewart. Leverett Cunningham, and Eugene Allen, working on printing, and George VVebb, Olga La Marr, Bertha cle Half, linid Golclson. Ruth Mills, and llarbara liroaclbent making tailpieces. 4 BURR PRINT CLASS MUSIC IN JOHN lrlURROUG.HS . Music plays an important part in John liurrt ughs, the foundation starting eight years ago, with the beginning of our school. A bigger anl better organization has deve oped each year. This Fine success we owe to our capable music stahfz Mrs. Perry, Miss lirhart. and Miss Donnelly. Q Eight years ago when John Burroughs epeued its doors to afl pupils. there were twenty- hve teachers in the faculty. including Mr. 'l'hompsc1n Mrs. Hroaded and the ollice clerk and secretary, Mrs. Perry. the only music teacher in the entire school. started by herself all the musical organizations here. She had a ful day from eight in the mwrnfng until four-thirty or five at night. including a variety of subjects. ine nding choruses from each c ass two days out of the week. a class of straight ninth grade music appreciation, four groups of B7's, half a period each, Girls' Glee Club three noon ln.u:'s. Boys' Gee Club two nfions, anl one orchestra which practiced after school. Even before school opened. Mrs. Perry wrote, l lail to john i'il.ll'l'tDll2'll3,H :uri she brought with her several other songs which coufrl be nged for any sch io.. An assembly was held once a week for community singing alone. ln the lirst assembly John Burroughs ever had there were no seats in the auditorium. Probaby one of the first oi Mr. Thompson's few announcements ran this way: VVe are the pioneer c'ass of john Burroughs and will have to do what the first pioneers of our country did. mal-ze the best of everything and use what we have, and what we don't have we can't nie. So he said. VVe'll have a regular Indian powwow and all sit on the floor. Accn'ding'y all th: stu:lents and faculty comfortably seated themselves. lfollowing this they hail lots of fun singing. After the seats were put in and even after the Student Body cwmplete y fil.ed the aulitorium. they con- tinued to pass out song books, one for two peopfe. Mr. 'l'hm:-mpson used a stop watch to time them. and books were passed to every one in two minutes. Quite a recrdl In September. 1924, with an increased enroliment, Miss lirhart came to help ont. After several more terms the number of pupils grew to such an extent they added another teacher to the staH', having several substitutes before Miss Donnelly came, four years ago. All musical organizations were put in regular school hours. this arrangement proving much better for every one, so instead of practicing after school and at not n the orchestra and glee clubs had a regular class period. Miss Erhart and Miss Donnelly traded off teaching the respective glee clubs. The two boys' glee clubs were combined into one, so as to have changed and unchanged voices together. A junior orchestra. a senior orchestra and a band were formed. 'l'hese groups are working in the same way now, the junior Orchestra really being in preparati: n for Senior Orchestra and Band. so that these groups are not held back by inexperienced players. The musical organizations of john Burroughs are for the purpose of creating a cultural background among all students. so that the coming men and women of our country will have a better understanding and more thorough appreciation of this art. ln the meantime all music organizations serve the school by entertaining their guests anal fellow students at assemblies a11d other gatherings. W L rqanizations HOBBIES DEVELOPED AT SCHOOL Proving the contention that a hobby does many things, among them the keeping of boys out of mischief, is the theme of the story that is told about a boy who was so mischievous that wherever he went trouble seemed to fol- low. His parents despaired of his ever doing anything but swipe cookies or tie tin cans on the dog next door. Finally in desperation they took him to a doctor who was an old friend of the family. The doctor after a long deliberation took the hoy into a corner of the room. and showing him a book on radio talked earnestly for half an hour. The parents never knew what the doctor said, but two days later there was a fully equipped radio shop in their empty garage, and after that they had no more than the usual amount of trouble with their son. This is just one of the many examples of what a splendid thing a hobby is, and many of our boys stay after school every Friday night to learn about short wave radio, while many more boys and girls are in the Civics or Hospitality Clubs. in the musical department or on the lioard of Control, just so they can have a hobby when they are older and working, that is apart from their regular business. NIARVIN lQOSENBURG. ORGNNTZATIONS AT J. H. The very life of a big, throbbing school like john llurroughs depends on its organizations. Without the Safety Committee our yards would not he clean and the street crossings would not he sa feg without the Cafeteria Helpers we could not economically produce the food neces- sary for the hungry boys and girls who hurry forth at 12:00 o'clock: and without the Stage Crew our assemblies could not he presented with such dispatch and so speedily. The Girls' League Councillors directing the girls in their activities. the lloard of Control setting forth the rules by which the school is governed. the Library Helpers aiding in the selection of your hook, and the Music t Jrganizations to play for all occasions, all of these and many others form a veritable huh on which activities outside of class turn. NEIL Dmsv. THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA OF LOS ANGELES On June 11, 1919, the Los Angeles papers announced the organization of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Los Angeles, sponsored by William Andrews Clark, Jr. At that time the statement was made that the Orchestra would be organized and its concerts given under a condition as nearly perfect as possible. It was the intention of the founder to create and evolve as fine an orchestral institution as has existed in America. Nothing has been permitted to overshadow the pre-eminence of this one animating ideal. The founding of the Philharmonic Orchestra was not a sudden impulsive move on the part of Mr. Clark, but was the result of a mature deliberation and a carefully developed idea. Its successful evolution into one of the greatest musical organizations in America is due in great part to the intelligent devotion and unsparing attention given to the institution by its Board of Directors and Mr. Clark, who, with characteristic enthusiasm and thoroughness, personally supervises the varied details of its many activities. The first, most vital step was choosing a conductor who would cooperate in carrying out Mr. Clark's ideals. After thorough investigation as to who might be available the chair was offered to Walter Henry Rothwell, who has been conductor of the St. Paul Symphony for some years. The first concert was given at Trinity Auditorium October 24, 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell remained as conductor of the Orchestra until his untimely death March 12, 19275 Emil Oberhoffer finished out the 1926-27 seasonp George Schneevoigt, Finnish conductor, held the baton for the 1927-28 and 1928-29 seasons. Dr. Artur Rodzinski, Polish conductor, has been with the organization since the 1929-30 season. Dx. Aaron Ronzrxsxi.

Even to the casual observer there is poetry in every beautiful piece of music, and rhythm and harmony in every beautiful piece of literature. VV e have only to recall to mind such liter- ary achievements as Shakespeareis Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Scott's Lady of the Lake, and many others, which have been set to music and are as well known now, in operatic form as in poetic form. Vtfhgn the A9 classes decided on 'Mz1.r1'c as the theme for this season's Burr, it was vcrv ffratifving to the music department to k110W that the tastes Of fhe . h . . , Q , - , . majority of pupils could be satished w1th one of the hnei ails, and that K'mus1c was the subject which appealed to the hearts of most of us.

TXTIRIAM GLICKSMAN. . ' 6 1 ' THE PRODUCTION Ol? Y l, l T lER.f'XTUR'li Being able to write a brilliant story or novel is not a gift with which one is born, but a great production of the mind that almost any- one who is willing and has an excellent imagina- tion can accomplish. As they grew older they began to wonder at the vast world about them, the workings of the human mind, the great continents which lay across the sea and which offered an interest- ing setting for almost any type of story, and greatest of all the great galaxy of suns and , planets which stretched ever onward into the blackness of space. Thus their View upon life became broader and their imagination a vast func- tioning at which to wonder. The result was a manuscript, sometimes a great success, sometimes an utter failure, this depended upon the ability of the writer to impress the reader with his idea or ideals. We trust that the stories on the following pages will be of interest to you. The autho1's have done their bes o please, we hope heir efforts have been successful. BILL Amizsrov.

Especially in these days of turmoil and spiritual unrest. Surely, life would he very much the poorer, for humanity would be deprived of one of its chiefest cousolations. In music man expresses his longings, his griefs, his dreams, his noblest aspira- tionsg for music is the voice of feeling, is-to use a phrase of Tagore's- feeling distilled in sound. A musical education should mean more than just the study of an instrument. The profoundest soul culture is necessary. Music is a living, breathing thing, intimately connected with the depths of man's being. Consecration to God, to the service of humanity, devotion to a high ideal-these cause the springs of music to How. ln an article on music, Thilo Becker, who has trained so many young pianists, says: How great the need of music! Of the healing power of spirit as it speaks through the great masters. Yes, indeed, let us listen and make their thoughts our own, that thereby we may rise and become hotter men and women. l,JXl.OfXl:X SCIIRAM. M BARUCI-I.

Clark, jr., has earned the gratitude of all residents in Southern California for what he has done here to popularize the best in music. It is fitting that l.os .-'Xngeles should honor the man who gave us our Philharmonic Orchestra by erecting in his honor, in Pershing Square. a bronze hgure of the immortal masterpieces ol' the world's most famous composers. u .'Xppropriately it laces the l'hilharmonic Auditorium where thousands of our citizens, year alter year--through the generosity of Mr. Clark-have enjoyed the lieethoven. Arnold l?oerster's statue of the greatest master of symphonic music is a work of art worthy ol' the person to whom it is dedicated. l.os Angeles has grown in many ways. cultural and educational. but in none has it hit a higher marlc than in its promotion of classical music. It is one of the few cities in America to maintain through the depression, its annual grand opera season. Its l'hilharnionic Orchestra is admitted by competent musical critics, to be second to none in the country. The United States supports twelve symphony orchestras of high standing as compared with liurope's three.

This organization, steeped in the tradition ol' music. the universal language. has as its aim to give to those who cannot aliford to get for themselves an inlluence which will make their lives more than a mere routine ol every-day attalrs: to bring something into their lives that will broaden their vision. The Settlement was formed in l9l4 by a group of women under the leader- ship ol Mrs. Carrie Stone Freeman, who is still teaching at the school. The Settlement is dependent for a part of its support and for its further development upon donations and membership dues. Present activities of the school are instruction in piano, violin, 'cello, voice, Woodwinds, brasses. percussion. and fretted strings. The enrollment now totals 100 pupils. From June, 1931, to June, 1932, more than 6.000 individual lessons were given. Eighteen teachers volunteered their services. The Settlement is located in the heart of the Italian district. and interest in music runs high in the community. The students have an innate ability and become accomplished musicians easily. AN ANECDOTE - A young' man once asked Mozart to tell him how to compose music. The gentle Vlfolfgang made answer that the questioner was too young to be thinking of such serious occupation. But you were much younger when you began composing, cried the aspirant. Ah, yes, that is true, replied Mozart, with a smilc. but then. you see, I did not ask anybody how to compose. COURAGE Hy PATRICIA SC lIlil'PS It was twelve o'clock, midnight, and the bells of the Cathedral ol' Notre Dame in Paris chimed. in musical harmony, the hour. 'lihe streets in Passy. on the right bank of the Seine river. were very quiet excepting for the occasional rattle of a cart over the cobble stones. or the more frequent blaring of French horns on luxurious motor cars in the more select and expensive district of Passy. As the bells rang, a small girl was sleeping quietly: when the sound of music. as poignantly indescribable as human emotions, awakened her. She pattered across the room to the balcony which overhung the street and noiselessly opened the door: looking down to see a small, slender young man with a mop of hair hanging over his eyes, playing the violin in the street, a rare thing for the district at that time of night. I-le seemed to be pouring out his entire soul in that sad piece of music. The child gripped the railing and listened with pity in her heart. Ah, Sainte Jeanne! how sadly he plays: as if he had lost all hope, she thought: and she knew, for her father had been a pianist. l-le had played like that in those strange Hts of depression that are peculiar to great artists. Heloise had a sudden impulse to run to the young musician, to speak words of encouragement to him. If ever a soul needed encouragement it was Michael l.ubovin, the sensitive Russian Jew, alone in a strange land and penniless. His skin, the color of old ivory, and the deep set. melancholy brown eyes were tvnical of the race from which he sprang. I-Ieloise called to the boy. saying, You must have courage. young man. Courage can overcome anything. Heloise's sympathy did more to help him through thc next trying years than a gift of many francs, and after thanking her in very poor French, he moved on. his frail form fading into the shadows. In 1932 Heloise l3eauvardin was on her way to hear a very great violinist play. She had received the ticket for her birthday, and as money was scarce in the Beauvardin household it was a great luxury. l-leloise sat in the balcony, wait- ing for the first strains of music. :Ns the violinist began to play Heloise had a Hash of recollection. The curtain went up, and there on the stage stood Michael Lubovin. Aftcrttiord .' Among the oppressed races, one always finds the greatest musicians, their souls seeking freedom through music. MUSIC AND THE SEA By Bon CLARK Sailors like to do nothing better than to sing while they are at work. The old salts, or sailors, in the time of Square Riggersu would sing some lively tune as they marched around a captain, hauling in heavy sail or anchor. liven in the present age on all ships from ocean greyhounds to snub-nosed tramps the sailors love to sing while they are at work. On watches, during the dark hours of the night or the cold misty mornings, sailors like to sing or hum some song to themselves. During the summer l was down at San Pedro harbor, watching the great ships load and discharge cargo. Over in one corner I espied an old square rigger. I ap- proached it at once. As 'I gazed at this interesting vessel l heard some sailors chant- ing some queer sea song while they worked below decks. Upon investigating I beheld four sailors seated around a table splicing rope and singing this same queer tune. This all goes to show that music holds its place on sea as well as on land. AlVl.lSRl.CAN MU5lC Hy Dann AR Mot nov In the past few years much has been written about the folk songs of America. There seems to be some question as to whether the future of American music rests on the use of Indian melodies or songs of the .Xmerican negroes as our national music. ln the study of folk music it has been found that the struggles and triumphs, joys and sorrows. all leave their impression on the music and art of any people. lfor the lirst liundred years .-Xmerican music was under the influence of the Puritans. The cavaliers who settled in the Virginias and the Carolinas brought much of the music of lingland with them. ln the past several years there has been an interesting revival of old time monntaineer ballads. which are popularly known as hill billy tunes. Dances and songs of lingland, lreland. Scotland. and lVales. Holland. Spain. and France became popular. but the constant wars made rapid musical development dillicnlt. .Xmerica has been called the great melting pot of the world because people come here representing all races, but the two which are the most closely related to early cfvilimtif-n in .Xineriva are the Indians and the negroes. In Louisiana are many lfrench inllnences and in C'alifornia is found a touch of Spanish. but neither of these has intiuenced national art. Une type of mnsi'al e' pressfon which is distinctly :Xmerican is the type of old cowboy songs of the pfaiizs, and the l:1'Cl1Cl1-Clllllllllflll, because of their use iii northern logging camps. t1lCNl US U N R ICCOGN l'Zl2D Hy .IRAN l'ilCN'I'l.liY livery st a' in the opera house was taken. ln the front row a small man was sitting. and it was very i'X'lflt'!li' be was anxiously waiting for the parting of the curtains. l'eople to the right of him: people to the left of him, he scanned with annoy- ance.

NVhat could it be? Long and lovingly had she sat and gazed at the delicate little wood affair, and now she was determined to find out all about it. But where? Her thought turned to her grandmother who was preparing the evening meal of rice and native vegetables in the tiny kitchen of the little cottage snuggled away in a hollow at the foot of Fugiyama. Her busy fee pattered into the room where the small, toilworn woman prepared their supper, August grandmother, she asked, what is this strange thing I have P Old Suya turned slowly and with a sudden bound snatched the instrument from the little girl's hand. Plum Blossom, shame on you. You should not touch things that do not belong to you. But, honorable grandmother, what is it ? Sit down, old Suya said, and eat your rice while I tell you. A long time ago when your honorable mother was twelve years old, she became a geisha girl, which is quite an honor. You must be talented as an actress, amiable, beautiful, cultured, and must be able to play the saniisen, which is the name of this instrument. The samisen is a three-string instrument and is played with the fingers and sometimes a little piece of felt. You can see that it is shaped like a mandolin, but much smaller, and is of very delicate workmanship. It is made of wood and must be practiced many years before it is played well. At twelve your mother was a gay, dancing geisha girl, and at seventeen she played the samisen while the younger girls danced. You, too, little one, will be a geisha girl if my prayers are heard and my dreams come true. Plum Blossom finished her rice in silence and thought of the day when she would become a sparkling, charming little dancer like her mother was before her. THE TARA NTELLA , By MARJORUQ I,AwsoN Dancing, screaming, 'foaming like persons possessed were the assemblies ol men and women on the streets of Aix-la-cha-pelli in July, 1374. The dancers, losing all control over their movements, continued .whirling innwild delirium until they fell in extreme exhaustion and groaned as in the agonies of deathg some dashed out their brains against the walls. These people had received bites from tarantulas and it was thought that if they danced long enough they would get over the insanity. Therefore, the music to which they danced was called Tarantellag it is constantly increasing in speed and gets very, very fast at the end. iw, l lf, 'f,,. l- . l L t ' fri JI A fl 71 71 fl ll oliifii Y w o o D I3 o W L I-ly Snnzucv thanx Fr21.1mMAN Keep the home lires burning, was the thought in mind when groups of people gathered for community songs during the war period. The gatherings, at the Holly- wood High School, became so enthusiastic over community songs that they wanted to make it permanent. llaving dis'overe'l quite a comfortable. out-door meeting place at Beachwood Canyon. in the llollywood hills. they met therefor their songs and entertainment. lu May of l9l6, a group of art lovers presented an impressive performance of ,lulius Caesar to an aullience estimated a' 40.000 people, all of which were seated on the ground or their own stools. with their faithful umbrellas to keep away the heat of the sun. A fter several line preseuta'ir.ns. a frroup of people were selected to formulate plans for a permanent organization. The most htting site was a large plot of ground. formerly used by the lnflians for a hiding place. which was completely sur- rounded by mountains. This alliorded all the necessities to make up an out-door theatre. Miss Myra lflershey, ,lames Lacy. and Mrs. Edith H. Teele. to whom parts of the land belonged. each sold their property to the struggling organization. Mrs. Marie Rankin Clarke and Mrs, Christine XY. Stevenson were the contributors of the largest loans to help buy the land. Mrs. Artie Mason Carter. president. at that time. of the Hollywood Com- munity Chorus. was, and still is one of the leaders of the organization. At this time several thousand pasteboard penny-a-day banks were circulated to both children and adults, which brought in several thousand dollars. XVhen the mortgage was linally paid olli, it and other papers dealing with inflebiedness were burned in front of a large audience at one of the performances. lfaeh year something new has been added. 'First came temporary benches, next the stage, and later the making of a rc ad passable. At present we have all the modern conveniences. The first liaster Service held in the Hollywood Bowl took place in 1922, fol- lowing a suggestion by Mrs. Carter. The Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. under the direction of VValter Henry Rothwell, demonstrated the exquisite beauty of music in the open. Since then the fame of the Hollywood Bowls Symphonies Under the Stars has traveled all over the worldl. The Hollywood Bowl has presented more than SOO dillerent compositions at the summer concerts since 1922. The ,Howl has a seating capacity of approximately 20,000, and it is estimated that 3.000.000 people have attended the summer concerts since its inception. Besides the sunnner concerts. the Bowl has presented operas, dramatic produc- tions, soloists, etc. Among the most outstanding of these are. :Xida'.' and Carmen. operag Taming of the Shrewf' The Tempest, Twelfth Night, .iX.M1d- summer Night's Dream, The Piper, dramatic productionsg Lawrence lhbbets, Mario Chamlee, Leslie Higham, Richard Bonnelli. soloistsg Sir Hamilton Harty, Bernardino Molinari, and Alfred Hertz. A MUSICAL AIRPLANE By Siiiiuazv JEAN PARKER Joe had been watching the airplanes when his mother called, It is time for practice. VV ith reluctance he went to play his lesson the piano. Suddenly II thought came to him. He could be a musical pilot. Let's see, he said, I would be a much better pilot if I would test my motor. First he set his metrenome. then he played some chords, did his octave studies to loosen up the playing mechanism. Taking ofii in his monoplane he played runs and gradually climbed the keyboard to a high altitude. Then by playing a fast march he played he was racing other planes. After playing a spring song he thought he was gliding in a glider. Why not throw ribbon bombs! Then he was heard playing skips'l one octave - two octaves -- three octaves and so on, climbing and dropping through the air. Now for some stunts, he saifl. He dipped and swung and curved with broken arpeggiosf' just after making his last loop the clock struck five and his first solo flight was over. He had not hit any bad air pockets. MUSIC ON A TRAIN By NEII. Dizixsv As we first come into the station there is the whistle of far oft trains, the puff of the switching engine, and the swing of the brakeman's lantern heating the rhythm . . . As the train bares through the night, the clickety-click of the rails sings a soothing lullaby . . . The red Hush of the dawn heralded by a far away engine on a siding . . . The stops for break fast and the panting noise made as the thirsty engine drinks its full . . . On again through the day, accompanied by the click of the rails and the rattle of fish plates as the train roars through culverts and out again, over ravines where noises echo hallowly and then on the plains again . . . The stop for supper and the mellow notes of the dinner gong . . . The hiss of escaping steam as the engine takes another drink . . . Then the click of rails on again through the night . . . Thus even on a train may music and rhythm be found.

ClllNl3SlQ BIUSIC Hy lfl.IZAI4R'l'II GRAUL 1. Chinese music as played and sung today is the same as that of ancient times. There was a law against new ideas as to art and music which prevented them from composing' different music and songs. or changing style. Today they are Still using in their religious ceremonies the same type of music as they did live hundred years hefore Christ. .Xt that time there were twenty-two different writers on the dance and music. .Xlmost all of the manuscripts were destroyed when the Emperor Shi Huang 'l'i ordered practically all the musical instruments and songs to be destroyed. For generations afterwards the peopie heard little music other than the steady heat of the dance drums. :X ccmparison of dates shows that the Chinese were writing music ahout the t.me of the Pharoahs, when they were huilding pyramids. 'l'he Chinese are always seeing' llkenesses in things having to do with heaven and earth, and material th.ngs, things of xhe intellect. They have a theory that there are eight sound-giving horllesz stone. metal, silk. hamhoo. wood. skin, gourd, and clay. The cheng is used for temple music and is made of a gourd with pipes of hamhoo. The kim is made of twisted silk strings slretched on a frame of wood. The upper part of the frame was rounded to represent the heaven and the lower part to represent the ground. lflutes were made of hamhoo: and gongs. hells, and trumpets of the metal. Pieces of stones were shaped like the letter S and suspended on a frame and struck with a hammer. stand it.

PLANTS ARE SIMILAR TO PEOPLE l Plants and trees are like children in this respect that if they do not have regular baths, they will be- come infested with germs, says Mr. Faure, the French gardener at john Burroughs, AX tree is the same way, he went on, plants must be sprayed to keep them free of bugs, snails and lice. VVhen a plant is taken good care of and the Howers picked every so often, to show your appreciation of it. as Mr. Faure says, it will reward you with more Flowers. This is why there are so many nice Bowers at john Burroughs as N r. Faure takes very good care of them. Plants and trees are like human beings. A person when sick must take medicine, while a plant must be fertilized when it becomes brown, or sick as we call it. Mr. Faure is continually fertilizing the lawn and plants to keep them healthy. A plant must have exercise just as a child, but it gets its exercise from the wind blowing it. It also needs T food and drink which it gets from the soil and water l given it. If the plant is in the wrong kind of soil it will not grow as the right food is not in it, or if the soil holds too much water, the roots will rot. An over amount of water does the same to a tree as too much candy does to a child. li a person s injured it hurts its growth, just as when a tree is knocked at or hurt in some way. Mr. Faure hopes that this will be remembered by those who walk across the lawn or throw balls into the trees.

ANN NoR'roN. In 1926 I spent three days in Budapest, Hungary. Defeated by the Allies, overrun by the Bolsheviks and Finally looted by the Roumanians, Hungary was in the depths of a depression by comparison with which our present situation is real prosperity. To my great surprise I witnessed an exceptionally hue performance of Samson and Delilah at the opera. The audience was poorly dressed. A friend informed me that many had gone without other necessities in order to be able to attend. The hunger for hue music was as real to them as the desire for food or clothing. Denied an opportunity to participate in the cultural activities of their community, life itself would not have meant much to these people. Do we 11ot learn from this that the person who succeeds in acquiring a love for Fine music, for fine art, for fine literature, in other words a love for those things which make life com- plete, is capable of getting the most out of life regardless of conditions? Los Angeles is fortunate in having one of the leading symphonic orchestras of the world which plays a winter season and then forms the basis for the Hollywood Bowl season, consist- ing of symphonic music, solo music and ballet. Our annual opera season brings to us the great- est living artists and there are only four cities in the United States which give opera of a com- parable quality. My congratulations to a Junior High Class that has chosen Music as the theme of its graduation Burr. It is to be hoped that you will continue to do your part to make Los Angeles a music loving city with a Symphonic Hall and Opera House as outstanding as our world- iamous Hollywood Bowl. ' Mn.

A9 CLASS PROPHECY Ax fC?II Z'f.T1i0I'ICd by JEAN BENTLEY lylie much. coveted invitation to attend the Round the Wo1'lcl Television Show had arrived. lt was being held on the top floor of the Empire State Build- ing, at eight o'clock that evening. VVe were there on time. Much to our .surprise we were greeted by Harley Gunderson, station announcer, and the most genial of hosts. Our travels were to be explained bv Martin Haines, globe trotter. ' As the visions appeared before our eyes we saw jolly old England, BV love! and yes,'we were right, it was Neil Deasy, talking in 'the House of Parliament, cxpoundmg whether Texas pecans or English walnuts were to be the salvation of the Dole. The inquiring reporter we saw interviewing Lloyd George in the Cheshire Cheese was none other than Grace XV ol fskill. who was noted on the continent for gettmg tomorrow's news last week. Our views of England then took us us over Yale and Norwich and we heard the Globe Trotter explaining, it was two Americans we saw looking for the lost jewels of King John in the XVash. Old King John of Magna Charter fame: and the Americans, my word, were Jack Blackburn and Bill Brownell. In to Scotland and that pale face genius we saw at the home of Walter Scott, was Phil Boone: no doubt an inspiration for another poem was the object of his visit. And at Aberdeen we immediately recognized Marvin Rosenberg, Bill Busby and Bob Rosenstiel, three jolly fishermen fishing for herring. Oh yes, at Shetland we were surprised to find M r. and Mrs. Forrest McDonald K formerly Shirley Feldmanj. who came over to buy a Shetland pony, The Scotch ancestry still predominate. Our vision was now transferred to Ireland, and be gorrah if it wasn't Phil Gaspar, now owner of one of Cork's famous dairy farms. He was formerly a traffic cop in Los Angeles, but resigned from the force when an Austin knocked him down. On to Germany, we traveled and recognized Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Lindstrom fBetty Gistj, promoters for the Snail Racesvg we remembered their habit of being late for classes. Also saw a number of professors we recognized around Old llleidelhurg, among them. Bob Bliss and Jack York. VV e were now in France and a view of the Louvre showed us Alice VValdrong we remembered her ability for getting other people to work for her - she is now a school teacher. On the Riviera, and oui, oui, we recognized Barbara Swartz, now a famous music hall singer, and Virginia Ashcraft, one of the dancers in the Follies Bergeref' ln Chanel's we had a glimpse of the last thing in fashions, modeled by Mary Alice Mack. On the Rue de la Paix we saw a famous real estate promoter, Dick Rykoff, who was banned from the United States for selling motor boats to the natives of the Sahara Desert. Madam Amelias was easily recognized as Claire Myers, proprietress of the famous We Change You Beauty Shoppe. Climbing to the top of the Jungfrau was Betty Gale Emerson and Paul Howell, now a renowned Swiss yodeler. And that tinkling music and gay singing could only come from Italy, and, Cara mia, the strolling troubadours were Bill -less and Emmy Lou Dell. The canals of Venice were next flashed before us and in the gondolas were Barbara Reinhardt and Ralph VVilliams, on their honeymoon, and I wondered if they recog- nized their gondolier, Don Summers, as he was crooning Sweet Adalinef' Gver in to Spain and the toreador who was flinging the bull, was Bob Sedg- wick. He was being applauded from the boxes by Mary Louise Bittleston and Barbara Broadbent, who were over to watch the national pastime. U Nlfe were now transferred to the wilds of .Xfrica and we could see the natives dancing to the slow beat of the tomtoms around a strange person, who we at once recognized as Margaret Staby, and we found out the reason Af rica couldn't speak. was because she didn't give it a chance. Those intrepid Hyers we saw crossing the Mediterranean in the Round the lVorld blight' were l'anuy Share and lillen Hoody. We remembered them as being the persevering types. V On to Arabia. and the Sheik of the desert was Hill Richards, at his old tricks. He had the usual number of feminine followers. In India we were given a glimpse into the marvels of the famous Blystic. She was holding a seance and we read'ly recognized her as Marian Stemfen. by her low visibility and high mind. :Xnd was she coining the shelcelsl In to Russia, and we could easily tell the girl in the Russian boots and Russian costume was 'lane liaton. She was over thereto get atmosphere for her new play. Wfe remembered her former habit of rushfn' around the corridors ol vl. li. Wfe thought we were reading Chinese when China was Hasheil before our eyes. but found upon closer inspection it was the writing of Bob Schwartz. l-le was in China learning the laundry business. Marjorie Lawson and Elizabeth tjraul were trying to master the art of chop sticks: it looked as though it were snowing around their feet. Trying to scale the Great Vllall of China, we saw june lewis and Daniel Casebeer: they had been trying to sell the Chinese. japanese fans: haste was imperative. ln ,lapan we saw frying Nlanspealcer. lle was in the lsimona business and modeled his own wares. On the shores of the Xlfailcilci were a number of .Xmerican girls clressefl in native costumes, trying to teach the Hawaiian girls the native dance: among them 1 recognized Peggy Shatter. lirances liolotin and lletty Class. .fXnd then to dear old Hollywood where we saw a l'remiere in progress at the Chinese: the star was Pauline Reidy: well we remembered the imitations she used to do. Yes, the director was Hud Greenbanm and the booming voice of llud Fitch urging the actresses to do their stuff before the mike, sounded familiar. Also saw Bob I-lerrmann, president of the l'erfett Form lfifms3 he employs the most shapely bathing beauties and among his best films are tJceanus, an Egyptian lfpic. and The Times Tables. a problem play. E Un the arm of the famous inventor, ,lames Vandewater, noted for his world renowned mattresses for oyster beds, we saw Kay Howard. She now spoke with ft decided Swedish accent and was heralded as the second Garbo. Wfe we1'e then flashed over to the Hollywood Howl. where lfarlan Meyers, orchestra leader of the Discord Orchestra, was leading his company in a classy jazz number. Jean lfVebb and Annette Altkorn. introducing the Grapevine Glide and the '1'opelca.Tap. were on the same program. And as all good things must end. so did our journey of the Round the XVorld Television - but what memories . . .

TT OR NOT l Beethoven was so overcome by a symphony that l,iszt had just directed that he came up trom the audience and kissed Liszt on both checks. ' Some person in Handel's orchestra. just before the performance, deliberately threw every instrument out of tune. so that when the hrst chord of the symphony was played, there was a terrible discord. Because a prima donna refu.ed to sing a certain aria, l-landel attempted to throw her out of a window. Mozart composed his most beautiful music while playing billiards or bowling. Cimarosa and Mehul wished to be surrounded by a dozen gabbling friends when composing. Beethoven, as Z1 mere boy, held the responsible position ar organist in a chapel in France. After Handel had sent an area to a singer, the singer sent it back saying that it was too trivial for him to sing in public. Beethoven threw a dish of hot soup into his housekeeper's face, because it did not suit his taste. Schumann died of insanity. At Mozart's death, he was put by accident into a pauper's grave. At 'the request of the king, James IV, Rossini refused to piay for him. All of Handel's operas were financial failures. Hadyn died while his audience were still applauding his oratorio, The Creation. Vtfagner wished so much to be alone when compnsing that his famify were denied admis- sion to his study, he would not look at any letters that came for him. and his meals were passed in to him through a trap door. until he finished his composition. Gluck would not write unless he was seated in the middle of a barren held. Beethoven's father was a drnnkard. Gounod's opera. Faust was :nccred at after the first presentation to the public. Hadyn could not compose unless he had on the f??????D Frederick the Great sent him. Sacchini would not touch a pen to paper if his pet cats weren't playing around him. After making a slight mistake in playing the Fantasia for the hrst time. Beethoven, thinking that the public had a right to expect a perfect performance for their money,.,stopped the concert, and explained to the audience that it was all his fault that there was a mistake. Nero did not play a fiddle while Rome burned, but a flute. Schumann composed and directed numerous compositions while insane. l Matheson was sure that his audience would know that he was trying to visualize to them a rainbow in his composition, by representing the arch of the rainbow, by ranging it from the double bass up to the apex of the piccolo. and down to the double bass again. The ability to play the flute was a required part of the education of the Greek youth. The first bassoons were from six to nine feet long. The harp was the first string instrument known. The word jews-harp is derived from the French word, jew, means play, from the fact of its being a toy. The clarinet is the leading band instrument. In the olden times every nobleman had his own trumpet call. The length of the French horn tube is from twelve to sixteen feet.

S ' f 1 ' , K I 11 AlV1lERlCAN MUSIC By Damian Moonv ln the past few years much has been written about the folk songs of America. There seems to be some question as to whether the future of American music rests on the use of lndian melodies or songs of the American negroes as our national music. ln the study of folk music it has been found that the struggles and triumphs, joys and sorrows. all leave their impression on the music and art of any people. lfor thc Iirst hundred years :Xmerican music was under the influence of the l'uritaus. The cavaliers who settled in the Virginias and the Carolinas brought much of the music of England with them. ln the past several years there has been an interesting revival of old time mountaineer ballads, which are popularly known as hill billy tunes. Dances and songs of lineland. Ireland, Scotland, and VVales. Holland, Spain, and France became popular. but the constant wars made rapid musical development tlitlicuit. 4Xtnerica has been cafled the great melting pot of the world because people come here representing all races. but the two which are the most closely related to early c'viEE:':uion in .Nineriva are the Indians and the negroes. In l.ouisiana are many lircnch influences and in California is found a touch of Spanish, but neither of these has influenced national art. Une type of nmsi 'al e press'on which is distinctly .fXmerican is the type of old cowbt y songs of the p'ai:is, and the ilfrench-Canadian, because of their use it northern logging camps. CIIENIUS UNRIECUGNIZIED Hy IIE.-KN liIEN'l'l.ICY livery sta' in the opera house was taken. ln the front row a small man was sitting: and it was very evizleut he was anxiously waiting for the parting of the curtains. People to the right of him: people to the left of him, he scanned with annoy- ance. lVhy were they talking? lTidn't they come to listen! To listen! He Wanted absolute silence. one coul'l tell by looking at him. The lights tlickered. The audience was in darkness. Slowly the beautiful xelvet draperies parted. The crrnfluctor waved his baton and the stringed instru- ments started their plaintive song. The rush of the wind . . . the sounds of the night. all were being painte-'l in a mighty symphony. A discordant note was heard . . . The little man was all attention. He started to rise from his seat. He listened attentively . . . Again he heard the discord. Stop! Stop! he cried. 1t's wrong: it's wrong! Hut the conductor lqept on. The voice of the little tnan could not be heard above that mighty music, Quietl Quiet! the audience hissed at him. I won't be quiet. I tell you, they are playing the music wrong, he answered. Take him out . . . take him out. the audience demanded.

XV hat Could it be? Long and lovingly had she sat and gazed at the delicate little wood affair, and now she was determined to End out all about it. But where? Her thought turned to her grandmother who was preparing the evening meal of rice and native vegetables in the tiny kitchen of the little cottage snuggled away in a hollow at the foot of Fugiyama. l-ler busy fee pattered into the room where the small, toilworn woman prepared their supper. August grandmother, she asked, Hwhat is this strange thing l, have ? Old Suya turned slowly and with a sudden bound snatched the instrument from the little girlls hand. Plum Blossom, shame on you. You should not touch things that do not belong to you. But, honorable grandmother, what is it Sit down, old Suya said, and eat your rice while I tell you. A long time ago when your honorable mother was twelve years old, she became a geisha girl, which is quite an honor. You must be talented as an actress, amiable, beautiful, cultured, and must be able to play the samisen, which is the name of this instrument. The samisen is a three-string instrument and is played with the fingers and sometimes a little piece of felt. You can see that it is shaped like a mandolin, but much smaller, and is of very delicate workmanship. It is made of wood and must be practiced many years before it is played well. At twelve your mother was a gay, dancing geisha girl, and at seventeen she played the samisen while the younger girls danced. You, too, little one, will be a geisha girl if my prayers are heard and 1ny dreams come true. Plum Blossom finished her rice in silence and thought of the day when she would become a sparkling, charming little dancer like her mother was belore her. THE TARANTELLA By Mmzjoanz L.xwsoN Dancing, screaming, foaming like persons possessed were the assemblies of men and Women on the streets of Aix-la-cha-pelli in July, 1374. The dancers, losing all control over their movements, continued 'whirling in'wild delirium until they fell in extreme exhaustion and groaned in the agonies of deathg some dashed out their brains against the walls. These people had received bites from tarantulas and it was thought that it they danced long enough they would get over the insanity. Therefore, the music to which they danced was called Tarantellag it is constantly increasing in speed and gets very, very fast at the end. gpg L lx ',, ' wy, lr, mix ll Avi 71 A ll HKIQISP IT-DARK - CLASS PLAY Q X X X X Z7jA2L 1iLMER - PERIOD IV DRAMATICS 'XNORDS HA VE HRA UTY Beauty in everything!-yes, even in words-beautiful in meaning rind. in the 1'IIllS1Ci1l arrangement of letters, has been the subject of reseureli under the direction of VV'11fred J.

Today, it has come to be a serious business-a profession which holds its own with other serious professions of the day. XfVomen have played a hne part in the development of music in all of its l:ranches-creatively. and as performers and teachers. Some of our greatest artists have been women. Clara Schumann, the wife of the great composer. was the out- standing woman pianist of the last century. Teresa Carre-no and Mme. lilumefeld- Zeisler were others famed as pianists. There have been many famous women singers and some great violinists. The popularity of opera in the past century has given opportunity to such famous singers as Nlelba, Nordica, Sclmmaim-Heink. and a host of others. These are international names of women who have brought the beauty of hne music to every cultured community in the world. The teacher has another mission to fill and to my mind perhaps a greater one than the glorious one of the performer. .Xnd here the women of our country have done a line unsellish service for this line art. ln every little hamlet and city we lind the music teacher who is patiently and unsellishly giving of her knowledge to train the young people of our country to have a better understanding and love for tlie best and finest in music. These young people eventually become the great American public who listen with cultivated mind and ears to good music and under- stand and enjoy it. VVomen have also stepped into the held of the creative artist. We have many women composers. Mrs. l-l. H. A. Beach is an outstanding example in America. She has won an international reputation as a composer of orchestral, instrumental and vocal music. Our own Mary Carr Moore is nationally known as a composer of opera and we have Carrie ,lacobs-lloncl, writer of songs. These are only a verv few. 1 VVomen have accomplished many line things in music. ,lfor the young girl looking ahead for some life work, what could be more interesting and fascinating than the study of music? lt is not only a profession which really pays, but one's most loyal and ever present friend.

Formal is taught to give us a clearer understanding of rhythm, dancing to the accompaniment of music, and music itself to give us a better under- standing of rhythm and harmony. Also our favorite sport, swimming, is governed by the same common cliaracteristies. We do not work as hard as we might in our dancing, for we do not realize how important it is, and 1 am sure the teachers might like to say the following quotation to us at times: 'Tlluxic do I Imarl Ha!

SPORTS AT JOHN BURROUGHS The four football fields, five volleyball courts, five outdoor basketball courts, and one indoors, two tennis courts, and fourteen hand- ball courts, offer the boys at John Burroughs marvelous chances in all lines of sports. Every boy should take up some kind of athletics as it develops the body and teaches him to be a good loser as well as a good winner. The boys have three and a half hours in the school day and some time at gym. VVhile at john Burroughs boys seem to get it into their heads that they are the whole team on which they play, but soon learn it takes ' ' cal strength, and last but not least, good spo1'ts- manship. eleven men to make a football team, eleven men all working together, or live men all pulling together on one basketball team. To become a great athlete there are things a boy must do. Some boys overtrain, and by the time they get to college they a1'e stale, burned out. Our gym instructors were very successful in preventing this by planning and executing a splendid schedule of training. Mr. Nelson, playground supervisor, has charge of all after-school activities, takes care of injuries, and coaches the boys in all lines of athletics. JACK BLACKBURN. P,l34lYSlCAl. OPPORTUNITIES Since health is the most important thing a boy or girl can have, Physical Education is naturally a part of the regular school curric- ulum. Its purpose is to develop clean, healthy bodies and strong, clean minds. Physical .Education develops all of these, besides cooperation, coordination, alertness, and good posture. Games are played at noon and alter school to promote mental alertness, physi- Corrective gym is taught to those who are lucky enough to have fine instructors to correct their weaknesses. ln addition, the new gym is now in use to make it easier for the boys to dress and take showers. Surely every boy has the best of Physical Education opportunities at John Burroughs. Most boys take advantage of these opportunities. This is proved by the fact that a large number of 15. boys turn out for athletics in senior high school. Manv of these have achieved great names for themselves. You may ask almost any one of these athletes to what they attribute their success. Nine times out of ten they will smile and say that the foundation of it all started at John Burroughs under the splendid coaching of Mr. Jones, Mr. Milham, Mr. Swarthout, and Mr. Sorsby. It is with these ideas in mind that I help to assemble the Boys' Sports Section of W'33. BILL BROWNELL. MUSICAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOS ANGELES SCHOOLS The musical opportunities afforded boys and girls in the I.os Angeles Schools are manifold. From the Kindergarten through the Junior College, over a span of fifteen years, musical training is available which progresses from the tiny rote song of the four-year-old to the complexities of a Bach oratorio, the study and performance of which brings joy and inspiration to the student of our upper school levels. In general the music education program of the Los Angeles Schools aims to accomplish four things. It plans hrst of all to furnish the boys and girls an oppor- tunity to express themselves through music. Serving this end are the choruses, glee clubs, and instrumental organizations which we liud in schools of all grades throughout our city. In activities of this type the theoretical aspects receive little stress, the emphasis being placed upon joyous performance rather than technical detail. A second aim of our tllltslc education program is'to furnisli our young people with an intelligent apprecia- tion of music. This phase of music study attempts not only to provide an acquaintance with the great works of music of all lands and ages, but also to afford a basis of discrimination between good and poor music and in this way to cultivate taste in music and develop a love for this great art. A second aim of our music education program is to furnish our young people with an intelligent appreciation of music. This phase of music study attempts not only to provide an acquaintance with the great works of music of all lands and ages, but also to afford a basis of discrimination between good and poor music and in this way to cultivate taste in music and develop a love for this great art. A third aim of our music education program looks toward the acquisition of the music tools which are necessary for any successful musical accomplislnnent. The music reading activities of the elementary grades and junior high schools and the music theory and harmony courses of the senior high schools and junior college supply the technical knowledge which is the basis of every phase of music study. In the junior and senior high schools and in the junior college expert training is available in many aspects of applied music. This type of music study satisfies our fourth aim, which is to provide physical skills in performance either along instrumental or along vocal lines. Classes in piano and pipe organ and voice are found in the senior high schools and junior college, whereas in the junior high schools, as well as in the upper school levels, instruction is offered in the playing of string, brass and woodwind instruments, which instruction carries, as an immediate reward, membership in the school band or orchestra. Although no instrumental instruction, as such, is offered in the elementary schools, much attention is given to orchestral study i11 these schools, Los Angeles having been a pioneer in the matter of maintaining orchestras in the lower grade schools. The entire music education program of our schools, it will be seen, has been so planned as to broaden the young student's horizon of music understanding. An effort. is made to correlate this subject with as many other phases of school work as possible, but the chief objective of our music teaching is to make the lives of our boys and girls happier through musical activities now, and to provide for a worthy use of their future leisure time. It is a source of great satisfaction to the supervisor of music of the Los Angeles Schools that john Burroughs Junior High School is so adequately realizing the music aims set for our schools as described above. That fine corps of teachers, Mrs. Perry, Miss Erhart and Miss Donnelly, throtth their splendid musicianship, their untiring industry and loyal devotion to John Burroughs are making a most worthy contribution not only to the boys and girls whom they serve, but to the entire Los Angeles School System and to the community at large, Louis Woonson Cuims. GYM INSTRUCTORS- MR. MILHAM, MR. SVVARTHOUT, MR. SORSBY, MR. JONES THE GYM IN ST RUCTORS The gym instructors are the unsung heroes of J. B. They do most of the coach- ing and training and hard work while the athletes get credit for the victories. By the looks of athletes at J. B., the gym instructors are line coaches and trainers. They deserve plenty of credit for such good work. In addition to coaching, teaching, train- ing, and running noon leagues, they take an individual interest in every boy. Their work is greatly appreciated by the students. i 1 15.46. igftix :ff '52-z.
