This year we seniors are sfepping info a world fhaf needs music greafly. Since our enfrance info fhe Conservafory our fufure has become more and more uncer- fain. Several of fhose who should be graduafing wifh us have been called info fhe service of our counfry fo fighf a war fo preserve freedom and beaufy. Yef we who remain af home should nof feel useless. If is our fask fo aid fhis preservafion of beaufy by creafing music, for music is more fhan a mere fusion of regular vibrafions, if is a vifal parf of our lives. Buf our work does nof end fhere. We musf feach ofhers fo know fhe solace and healing power of music, and we musf sfrive fo beffer our own undersfanding of if. During fhe pasf few years our school has made many changes and improvemenfs in ifs curriculum. This very year if sfarfed a new Opera School under fhe direcfion of Boris Goldowsky, and a new deparfmenf of Popular Music, headed by Ruby New- man. These inaugurafions are especially imporfanf because fhey are done when many feel fhaf only fhe making of munifions and fhe acfual fighfing are of consequence. Lef us follow fhe lead of our school and consfanfly seek improvement There is one fhing more. ln our efforfs fo help win fhe war, lel' us nof forgef fhaf some day fhere will again be peace: fhere will again be a day when fhe fufure is nof 'ringed wifh fear, and beaufy does noi' have fo sfruggle fhrough such uffer ugliness. Then music will sing fhe ioyousness of a world fhaf has a deeper under- sfanding of, laughfer because if has known so much sorrow. Yef whefher fhere is laughfer or fears music always has ifs parf in fhe world and if is our privilege 'ro cre- afe fhaf music. Good luck Seniors. I -5..
