The Origin of the Quarter Notes T HE first Quarter Note was issued by the worthy class of ' 24. It was a shaky note, struck tremul¬ ously at first, and then as the idea grew, it be¬ came more sustained: but alas, for the class of ’24, not self-sustaining. However, it was our duty to Posterity to set the Note” sounding Molto Crescendo, broad¬ casting the growth of L. C. M. in quantity, quality and harmonious school spirit. The very appropriate name “Quarter Notes” was the result of a spontaneous combustion of thought between Leland Brock, ’24, and George Piggott, ’24. It ought to be some kind of a note,” mused Leland. A quarterly hmmm, why not “Quarter Notes?” George spontaneously combusted. And that was that—and it is still that. Mr. Brock became the editor of the one and only issue of the paper in ’24, issued May 1st. The news of a year was crowded into its seven generous pages and the space now filled with advertisements was occupied by columns headed: Can You Imagine”; “Favorite Expressions”, Have You Ever Noticed”, “Grunts and Giggles,” the contents of which can be readily guessed. Then there was Mary’s Metrical Musings” which dwelt on certain dignified notables around the school with no reference whatsoever to their dignity or nota¬ bility. This was the first Quarter Note,” humorous yet half sad as departing Seniors cast one longing look backward ere they- parted. May there be many more measures of Quarter Notes” and may the cadence never be heard. Howard L. Koch, Class ’24.
