Torger of Men Smeltered ore to forge the steel, for timbers a giant tree. And a man to guide the girdle and span, or the bridge would never be. He builds from a jumble of rivets and bolts, of timber and steel and rod. And his building proclaims that his mind is linked to the mind of creative God. Crude human ore at the classroom door, and the bridge of life to span; The teacher copes with slag and dross and seeks to forge — a Man. The full free run of the mill he knows, but warm is heart and kind, For he deals not in metal or sodden clay, but the God-given fabric of mind. He visions a time when the children of earth find each their place in the sun. And as a bolt or mighty timber, feel a content in a work well done. Out of the dreams of the past he builds for a world he hopes will be. And he forges a chain in the flow of thought that links with eternity. Anonymous 2

FOR E WOR D The practical importance and meaning of our college yearbook is frequently overlooked in the haste and confusion of graduation days. It is traditionally a permanent written and pictorial record of the graduating class, and the activities and events here at the Conservatory. Our college years are our most important because it is at this time that we establish ideals and principles that we as men and women will live by. Our society is dynamic, but ever changing. Nothing really endures except our ideals and principles which we love and respect. Our Year- book serves as a graphic reminder of these ideals. We as trained musicians have an obligation to make every effort to raise the existing standards of music, and increase the cultural life through cooperation with the related arts. Music cannot be a static thing and since conditions are changing, there is always a place for new ideas and projects — if they are born of inspiration and genius. What we have gained from our college years will be of little value unless we use our knowledge for worthy purposes in the spirit of service. Let our yearbook also be a constant reminder of our undertaking, and also create the desire to reflect credit upon the teachers who have encouraged and guided us to our goal. 4
