UnioeRsity of LouisoiLLe SchooL of Music LibRORjy Presented by DOROTHE GRUBER ROULSTON LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY JUNE, 1927 Three Copyright 1 927 by Lessley Freeman T N accordance with the meaning of the word Crescendo we have tried to make this second issue just a little broader than the first. May it in turn be expanded, with the coming years, to the maximum degree. To John L. Gruber President, Louisville Conservatory of Music T O him who has so wisely and so patiently ad¬ vised and assisted us through our years of work and pleasure, we, the Class of 1927, dedicate this annual, hoping to have its many short-comings and imperfections passed over and pardoned.

What changes since then! When the fall term opens in 1927 it will not be in these familiar halls, dear to us by many memories, but in our new home at Brook and Jacob. We are proud of the growth which necessitates our moving into more ample quarters but the old stone house at 2t4 West Broadway will always have a place in our affections.

But lest we forget, or our memory become dimmed bv rapidly passing years, we arc leaving as a legacy to ourselves, and not as a writing to amuse others, this history which we hope shall serve its purpose of keeping fresh our memories. It shall enable us to reflect our gaze down memory’s hallway and view again our friends of these good old days, laughing at the same old jokes, and struggling with the same old problems, then it shall have fulfilled its mission and granted to us the greatest measure of success to which such an article could aspire. With the close of this school year, one star of our educational ambition has set in a halo of splendor. Behind us lie the years of preparation and toil in school; before us lies our adventure with life. It remains to be seen if each member will hold up the dominant spirit of our class—“Still achieving, still pursuing.” It seems but a day since we came from the four corners of everywhere to congregate at dear old L. C. M. Truly it has been only a day for some ol us, for our class includes graduates in all departments, and consequently our sojourns have been of varied lengths. The true history of our class began as Junior; this was our beginning of class organization under our able President who was re-elected as a Senior. More than once she must have known the truth of that old adage: “Weary is the the head that wears the Crown,” for, with a loyal spirit, we placed the responsibility of our fights upon her shoulders. It was in this year that we won lor ourselves the title of the most congenial class. Last year our real work in the class-room began, too, with our entrance, as a school, in the National Association of Musical Colleges and our realization of what work for a B. M. Degree truly meant. We just could not sec the need of so much French and Acoustics in order to play the piano, and three years of Harmony were entirely too much in the study of voice. Perhaps our struggles were continued because we appreciated the significance of the old truism that “There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads on to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound up in shallows and in miseries. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our venture.” Many changes had taken place in our class when we organized as Seniors. Some ot our old members did not return for their last vear, some had gone other ways in life; but we found ourselves enriched by the entrance of new members whom we heartily welcomed. Our class has never been a large one, but we have come to believe as our Director said to us—“Do not measure yourselves in quantity but in quality.” There are two things that we have accomplished this year of which we are justly proud: first, at our opening business meeting we resolved to profit by observed mistakes ol others and steer clear of financial difficulties—our treasury is always a dollar to the good; second, we succeeded, under our regime, in persuading the faculty to put in a cut system, allowing us eight cuts a year. But we could never convince them that even national holidavs were due us; Christmas is all that is considered in our vacation schedule. However, this year has not been spent entirely in persuading the faculty to say to us, “A promising class, they are worth helping;” most of us are engaged in serious study (we can never forget how hard we worked in orchestrating the “Alabama Lullaby”), but a few are just—engaged. ' Phis has been our happiest and most successful year, for we are beginning to find that— “It is better yet to learn to think, And best to borrow from the great.” And now as we go out, “Watchman, what of the night for us?” We hope there are names in our class that will go down as among “the few, the immortal names that were not born to die.” The clas s of 1927 now passes into history, and in its passing bids a final farewell to L. C. M. and its faculty to whom it wishes many years of increasing prosperity in the future. And may we leave to you, as our most treasured achievement and possession, the CRESCENDO. L. E.

Though laden with her own teaching burdens, she accepted gladly the responsibility of thirty seniors, and many is the load she has lightened. LESSLEY FREEMAN Presi DENT NANCY ELLIOT Treasurer.

Thirty-five T E, the class of 1927, being poor, but hopeful of unsound body and mentally deficient do hereby bequeath, will and transfer all of our mental, moral, personal and spiritual possessions (?) to each of the undersigned, unfortunate encumbents. It must be distinctly, un¬ questionably understood and accepted as the truth, that this will rescinds, annuls, and voids all previous documents of like nature, and that each of the participants in the undermentioned, remains, covenants, and agrees to abide by the distribution of said mental, moral, personal and spiritual possessions (Do we have them?) as herein outlined and allotted. Whereas the faculty has been so conscienciously unscrupulous in making us walk the chalk line and in guiding us in the straight and narrow paths of musical knowledge and endeavor, we hereby devise to them our deepest gratitude and sincerest affections. Whereas our beloved Mr. Cowles and Mr. Gruber have always shown such a tremendous personal interest in our class activities and individual problems, we bequeath to them our continuous support in making our Alma Mater greater as the years come and go. Whereas our sponsor has co-operated so untiringly to make our class activities successful we convey to her, our lasting friendship and deep appreciation. Whereas the Junior Class has exhibited its wholehearted envy of our superiority and dignity, we leave to them both of the aforementioned qualities, together with all of our many senior privileges. (? ? ? ?) Whereas the Sophomores will soon be Juniors we will to them, the hope that they will be as magnificient in the glory of achievements, as Thirty-six we were. Whereas the Freshmen have a long, weary, tiresome, and arduous pilgrimage ahead of them before they reach our present state of blissful ignorance, we transfer to them our abundant superfluity of stickability, hoping that it will enable them to stick to the bitter end. 01 eta Albertson , leaves “Her dirty look ' ’ to Ruth Sitton.

Witness our hand and seal this, the 2 ist day of June, Annin Dominus 1927, in Louisville, Kentucky, county of Jefferson by the 1926-27 Senior Class of the Louisville Conservatory of Music, by Minnie Rodman Selby, Testator Thirty-seven T EAR old L. C. M. days of 1927. How vivid the mem- -L ' ories of all the scenes and faces that were so familiar then. Ten years would bring about a change, yes, and it has. As I remember it, there were only two phones in the dormitory. Push, scramble, yell, pell-mell, we usually suc¬ ceeded in answering a few calls. Ah, how plebian it all seems since we have our newest invention. Radios in those days were in the embryonic stage, but to-day they have taken the place of telephones. Instead of just being able to talk over them, one is able to see the person to whom he is talking. There is no longer a WHAS, because each radio has its own individual broadcasting device. WHAS . . Hum-hum. Wonder what response it would bring from the old class? Well, there’s one way of finding out,—I’ll tune in and see. “Station WHAS, Krausgill Piano Company Extension Studio, Louisville, Kentucky, April 1, 1937. The program this evening will be furnished by the Senior class of the Louisville Conservatory of Music.” (Faces appear from all parts of the globe.) Whew-—One at a time. I can’t remember half those faces they came so thick and fast. I’ll try a different scheme this time. “WHAS broadcasting. The next 45 minutes will be de¬ voted to receiving messages from the class of ’27. At the end of that time, they will all be read aloud.” (45 minutes later ) “WHAS speaking. I will proceed to repeat the messages and give the picture of each person who broadcasted.” Mary Agnes Starks, Daytona Beach, Florida. “Well and happy. Enjoying a good business diving after lost Thirty-eight jewels.” Mary Agnes was dressed in a red bathing suit and sent the message from Lew Cody’s yacht. Louisa Bumgardner, Little Rock, Arkansas. “Wish you’d give me more time. I have to give this old woman a turkish bath now. I hold the record for curing rheumatism.” Louisa looked very efficient in her white uniform. irginia Roach, Tunis, Algiers. “Am teaching dramatic art to the African natives, and am doing a great pioneer work.” She wore the native costume and was very brown from sunburn. The Misses Schanz and Barnes, Harlan, Kentucky. “En¬ joying life. Have established a beauty parlor, and are bring¬ ing joy to the hearts of many.” 1 hey were dressed in man¬ darin robes of purple and green. branees Wheeler, Wheeling, West Virginia. “Have made a fortune traveling as the midget drummer with Barnum and Bailey.” She looked very fetching in her suit of blue with its rows of brass buttons. She still hooks her hair over her ears. Sara Pace, Liberty, Missouri. “1 am directing a huge harmonica band. Will tour Europe next year.” She has adopted mannish dress and even carries a cane. Catherine Stum, Annapolis, Maryland. “Have estab¬ lished a home called ‘The Port of Missing Men,’ and 1 take care of all lost sailors.” Miss Stum looked extremely tall in her gray and white striped gown. Mary McArn, Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee. “Doug and I send best wishes to everyone. We are sailing for the Canary Islands in May.” I hey are living in the manse adjoining the church and seem to be supremely happy. Minnie Selby, New York City. “Am starring in the hollies this year. My latest suit for alimony gave me much publicity, and a small fortune.” She was speaking from the smoking room at the Ritz. Ruth Steuerle, St. Louis, Missouri. “Have taken up photography and charge only ten cents per photo. I have cameras located on all important corners in the city.” Her attire resembled that of the Salvation Army lass. Margaret Cottrell, Berlin, Germany. “Jack and I are running a rooming house for students, and Jack will be gaduated from the Berlin Academy for Barbers next month.” Margaret was all smiles and 1 know she was very happy. Christine Naive, Chicago, Illinois. “I am directing an orchestra at the Edge water Beach Hotel. We play for all meals, and for dancing in the evening.” She looked very spiffy. Christine McClure, New York City. “Have recently signed a contract to design all posters for Ringling Bros. Circus.” She looked her part well in a smock, tie, and tarn. Hazal Love, Peewee Valley, Kentucky. “I have attained success at last. I am flutist wth the Pewee Valley Symphony, and we give weekly concerts at Lakeland and the Old Sol¬ diers 5 Home. 55 She is the same little person—a few pounds heavier. Floyce Hubbard and Lois Ellison, Seattle, Washington. “Our conservatory has recently been admitted to the Associ¬ ation, and we are entertaining Mr. Cowles and Mr. Dam- rosch next week when they come to inspect the school. 55 They seemed to be very happy in speaking to their old class¬ mates, but their extreme dignity and reserve prevented a lengthier message. Thelma Finger, Dublin, Ireland. “I am with you in spirit, but my work keeps me here. I am Chief of Police, but I manage to retain my feminine dignity. 55 She was on traffic duty at a buy street corner, and I could scarcely hear her above the shrillness of her whistle. Ruth Caldwell, Davenport, Iowa. “1 am the local im- pressario. Our concert to-night is a two piano program given by Misses Lucille Darden and Maryland Calvert, who have vied with Maier and Pattison for the last flve years. 55 She spoke from the concert hall and all three sent their best wishes. Sylvia Button, Dayton, Ohio. “1 am in the Air Mail Service, and my route is a private one between Nashville, Tenn., and Somerset, Ky.” Her leather uniform was stun¬ ning, and 1 suspect she was preparing for her daliy trip. Mrs. Jessie Beard, Washington, 1 ). C. “1 am at present in the genealogical department of the I). A. R., but will very likely be transferred to the Travelers 5 Aid.” She was speak¬ ing from her private office and on her desk was a picture of the History II class of 1927. Oleta Albertson, Mammoth Cave, Ky. “I am playing the piano in the hotel cafeteria here. My salary isn’t so good but I love the work. Orchestral conducting was too hard for me.” Miss Albertson is wearing glasses now, but otherwise she looked about the same. Mary Mildred Hunt, Johns Hopkins Sanatorium, Office of the Nerve Specialist. “My new nerve tonic is working wonders. Lessley Freeman, my latest patient, is convalescing now and will soon be out again”. Mary Mil has dyed her hair black and you would never recognize her. WHAS signing off. Will be silent until next April 1, T 947- rty-nine GOOD NIGHT. Katherine Stum, Prophet Credits to 152,7 Seniors I7 ' E have been called the most congenial class in the history of L. C. M. With such congenaility how could we help but make progress? The Quarter Notes, our school publication with Mary Mil Hunt as editor, has become a rival of real magazines. An exchange department has been established with the out¬ standing Conservatories in the Association. We boast of the first four students to receive degrees in piano and one in organ. We have three seniors who are taking the special course in Art and expect to teach it. Our Valentine bridge party was a success both socially and financially. One of our prospective supervisors attended the Southern Conference for Supervisors. The whole class orchestrated “Alabama Lullaby.” Seniors graded the State Music Memory Contest papers in Frankfort. We have given numerous radio programs from the Krausgill Extension of WITAS. Pageantry class writes songs for State and National Parent Teachers Association. These are just a few of the marks we have tried to make. nHisaS! . � • X ' . . • I Alice Camp, Faculty Adv ser Ruth Sit ton, President , Sylvia Hubbard Mildred Blake Thelma Luctte Edna Hcrrod Mary Louise Bachman Martha Donaldson Mary Lee Oglesby Trcssic Truax Katherine Murphy Marguerite Murphy Naomi Gracf Mary Dunbar Francis Miller r Beulah Mac Grimes Elenor Kurfces Coleman Wallace Isabelle Moore I§la Mas Payne Dorothy Schnaus Cessna Stafford Evelyn Allcnsworth Lillian Colvin Christine Bufford Forty-one i A GOOD looting bunch of girls, this Junior Class, you’ll have to adnit. Yes, and these are not all. All the presi¬ dent’s efforts cculd not get more than twenty-four of the members. The others are being saved as the surprise for next year’s annual. This Seniorclass has boasted so much and filled so much space that on a tiny page like this we cannot even compare with them. We too havt given radio programs. On May 2 members of the Junior Class gave a May festival program for child health week. Here’s another bit of news too: Our President, Ruth Sitton, played on one of the Seniors programs. I don’t be¬ lieve it was announced. Last year the Juniors lost one of their members in the Matrimonial Sea. Thus far our school ties have proved in¬ vincible and we are hoping the dragon may be held at bay another year. Probably by this time next year we will be ready to speak more freely about ourselves.

Back of the jaunty air these faces are wearing there is really a degree of worry. Where are the rest of our mem¬ bers?

Why should we thor We have no president, but if we had a president we would have no business to transact. Thus our nonchalant air. We have one member already anchored in the matrimon¬ ial sea and just between the two of us we’d just as soon cast a few more anchors.

Over a thousand schools, colleges and universities and other educational institutions consider none other but a Starr-Made Piano because there are few requirements of a musical equipment which in the severity of demand approach that of college use. Starr Pianos retain year after year the qualities for which they are celebrated. The little Star School and Apartment Upright—only 3 feet Sj 3 inches high—is a revelation in tonal brilliance and beauty of contour and aptly portrays the artistry of all Starr-Made Pianos.
