Mansfield State Teachers College PAUL R. MILLER. M. ED. Principal Duke University HERE was a time when enjoyment and beauty were not to be found in Am' the subject matter of our public schools. Those were the days when subjects were studied to discipline the mind. ln fact music, art, and physical education came in the back door of our schools through what we chose to call extra-curricular activities. Although a great many people appreciated the value of music it Was not until fairly recently that it was incorporated in the high school curriculum. Now the glee club and orchestra practice during school hours. Music classes, instrumental groups, and choruses have regular class periods. Un- fortunately there is not enough time during the school day to permit the band to meet before the regular session closes. We hope that may come soon. Perhaps no other department in school is of so much service to Kane as the music. Musical groups or members from these groups serve the churches, civic clubs, Parent-Teacher organizations, and the community as a whole. Special numbers or entire programs are staged before the school. Music has a Wide appeal. lt is not the child of money, and appreciation of it cannot be bought. lt has long been the heritage of nations. Passed down from generation to generation it preserved the beauty of the past. Love for music is free, yet one who has it is infinitely the richer. lt is our hope at Kane High School to place music in such an attractive setting that all students will be touched by it and be benefitted by their contact, and We look forward eagerly to the time when all our graduates will better understand and love music M the universal language.

Superintendent Susquehanna University Columbia University USICAL vibrations are those sound vibrations which stimulate pleasant ww reactions in us. Sound alone does not produce pleasant vibrations. There is a music that is produced by other means, the music produced by happy surroundings and successful accomplishment. ln this respect there has been an abundance of music this year in the Kane High School. First, we have seen the beginning and completion of the new addition. For all of us this was a great event, for most of us a surprise which We had not foreseen. This Work which Was completed is going to pro- vide more room, greater opportunities, and nicer surroundings. It will enable us to live bigger school lives and eventually, We hope, produce the effect which will make us better citizens. Second, the fact that much of the con- struction Was carried on after school was in session made a distinct hazard which all of us had to surmount. The best of Work was difficult with the ham- mering and confusion. Nevertheless good work was accomplished and much credit is due both pupils and faculty for the manner in which they rose above adverse circumstances. The same is true of the grade teachers and pupils, for all suffered to some degree. When routine is disturbed, conformity to a new set-up is uncertain and often irksome. This is one reason Why any change from a routine, Whether it be in school, government, or life, is frequently accompanied by stress and dis- comfort. These accompaniments of change are more or less comfortable de- pending upon the adaptability of those whom the change affects. You, Who comprise the school system, have shown fine adaptability and this should forecast with some accuracy the fact that you Will have a happy, successful future. G. H. Rickert. Page lU GLENNIS H.
