itori I To hear us humming in our feeble old voices No More Money In the Bank, and Sweet- hearts Foreverf' will probably be very amus- ing to our grandchildren years from now, but to us these tunes will ever ever be reminiscent of our Junior High School days. , VVe have taken as the theme for our Burr this term - .7llzzs1'r. 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. XVAicRr:N T1IoRNnURo.
