ZZionT’ ’ Tr'u petSi Harry elaon' The History of Newkirk High School Orchestra from 1921 to 1946 19P1 JJe Newkirk High School Orchestra was organized in September, 1921 by Mr. Attebery who has been its director since that time. There were sixteen members at first, but the orchestra increased in number and in efficiency until 1940 when there were seventy-five JTj®” £ £01 - Eafly ln itS Career the orchestra was capable sive1trainingmPh°n C muslc' due to ful1 instrumentation and inten- In 1934 the orchestra the National Music Contest since that time has played District, State, Tri-State highest honors in ninety second highest in the re- won highest honors in at Ottawa, Kansas and in fifty contests ln and Nation; winning per cent of them, and maining ten per cent. The Newkirk High School Orchestra, which is a continuous body, is widely known throughout Southwestern and Southern States and to some extent in other states. It often has been said that the town of Newkirk is more generally known for its orchestra than anything else in its history. The outstanding trip, made by the orchestra, was to Madlsati, Wisconsin by way of Chicago. A special coach was furnished by the Santa Fe Railway for the entire round trip, with a stop-over to see the places of special interest in Chicago. A similar trip was made to the National Contest at Waco, Texas in 1940. Besides these contests the orchestra has played engagements in Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Chickasha, Wichita and other cities. Concerts at home have furnished the money to purchase many of the instruments and much of the equipment used. The School Board has been liberal in furnishing money for music. There are more than five hundred orchestrations in the music library, all of it consisting of standard and symphonic compositions. Instruments belonging to the orchestra and music in the library represent an investment of several thousand dollars, but the greatest invest- ment consists of the musical knowledge, appreciation and skill attained by more than three hundred students who have been members of the organization. Many of these say that their orchestra ex- perience is the thing that they consider of most value to them of all they'gained in high school. In this connection, it should be stated that the director always has considered the orchestra an educational and cultural institution rather than one for entertain- ment alone, and that it should contribute to the benifit not only of members alone, but to the entire school and others who listen to its programs. In this particular, there have been obtained some very worth while results. Mr. Attebery never has professed to be a trained musician. He attributes the success of his orchestras to the fact that he early selects his players from the children of the lower grades in school who possess musical talent, training them for service i.n nigh school, and to practicing his favorite motto----- Use what you have , placing the emphasis on the word use. This applies to director and members and Includes the use of time, talent, opportunity, intelligence, equipment, money, and all that goes into making a success of any un- dertaking.

More powerful than electricity, It has stretched forth its fingers, Seized the mighty thunderbolt, And harnessed its fury to conquer the atom. Everseeking to know the truth, It has reached forth its hands And thrown aside the curtains of fear and superstiti Daring to mix the elements And edeirse powerful, healing compounds; Harnessing the mighty X-ray To send its sweeping, searching, piercing light Through opaque bodies; Searching and finding, treating and healing, It has lifted the weary world up From the dark and gloomy ravages of disease. More dynamic than the Crushing fury of the waterfall Or the rushing tropical winds, It has used these things To penetrate the unknown atmosphere With gi8nt vechicles racing Through the air; and to deliver Its messages at the speed of light, While it has, like abject slaves,. Strange devices of its own creation That are subject to its will, Obeying its every command at The press of a button Or the whir of a motor. More mysterious than the Quiet twinkling lights in the night sky, Transformed (when you understand their nature) Into raging, seething, fiery monsters That could devour a thousand suns like ours And then turn hungrily for more, It has developed eyes that see Millions of light years into space And measure the unseen about us. More terrifying than the wildest nightmare For it is conquering spaces and the elements— In all the vast universe about us There is nothing more wonderful Than the mind of man I Gerald Bryson (Answer to the Companion Poem) THE MIND OF MAN Thou, 0 Mind of Man, in making thy boastful claims. Art forgetting the Omnipotent One that giveth thee thy littletpower. Thou hast shrunk this little world, true, But what of that? It is only a grain of sand From the star-sown fields of immensity , And is counted as less than the dust On the balances of the Almighty. The heavens, which are stretched as a curtain About the throne of God, as a tent for Him to dwell therein, And which thou doth claim to have comprehended. Do not they impress thee of thy Maker? Yet, thy wise scientist hath said to the rock and beast, You have brought me forth . This atom, which thou hast harnessed, 0 Mind of Man, Is not it thy destruction? Thy science hath accelerated forward. And left thy religion lagging on the byways, So that the atom, in this world of greed and hate and lust. Where the Most High is dis-owned, cannot be rightly used. Yes, 0 Mind of Man, Thou art reaping what thou hast sown. Look, if thou will, toward Asia's destitute, poverty-stricken millions, And behold as a half-dozen of them yoked to a primitive cart. Thus placed to earn their daily livelihood of a handful of rice, Struggle up a muddy hill of slippery, yellow clay, And hear their groans as they dig the toes of their scraggly bodies Into the earth's surface, seeming to say, pitifully sorrowful, We-can, we----must, we-----must. Watch them, finally attaining the top, pause momentarily for breath. Then, faces contorted with infinite sadness, they move on. Is this of thee, 0 Mind of Man? Now turn thy eyes toward Europe, Blood-stained, tear-drenched, ever the battlefield, Where armies have been incessently hurled across her face. Leaving death and destruction, ravaged homes. Starving children and widows in their wake. Watch, as tonight many a little one, barefoot and naked, Lies down in the snow to that sleep of death. Unnoticed, save by Him above, and that celestial Hand Writes in His books against thee, 0 Mind of Man, these words, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren. Ye have done it unto Me . Thou, 0 Mind of Man, hath given birth to genlclde, Of the most blasphemous forms in thy fiendish murder camps, Where thousands, yea, millions have met an untimely, diabolic death. Thou hast lived wantonly, 0 Mind of Man, of the poor. Thou hast nourished thyself in the slaughter of the innocent. But think not that these things pass unnoticed by the Eye above; For thy probation is drawing nearer--and nearer to the close, And this night thy soul shall be required of thee , 0 Mind of Man. Thy ambassadors of peace have deceived the people, Crying Peace I Peace I — And there is no peace. And even now they are beginning to weep bitterly. Their shattered dreams lying at their feet. As sounds the ominous tread of the impending doom Of Armageddon, And the Day of Judgement.

HorrorsJ Grandmother Dill and the children —Carol Rodney, high school youngsters, and Doris and Dudley, the thirteen-year-old twins, are perfectly furious and determine to get rid of the new step-mother in short order J But no matter what the young Dills and Grandmother try to do, Step-Mama” is more theui a match for them. When the twins put salt in her coffee, she puts salts (Epsom) in their lemonade 1 When they stick a garter snake in her bed, she retaliates by making them believe she carries a baby python in her hat box for a pet 2 The young Dills, unable to faze Step-mama decide to act daffy. They tell her about the streak of insanity in the family and how they all have fits. But Step-mama immediately tells them that she herself was once confined in an idiotorium for five months, and when she suddenly starts crowing like a rooster and grabs up a hatchet the Dills are scared within an inch of their lives, and poor Arnica, the negro cook, tears out for parts unknown. As a final resort, the Dills tell Step-mama that their father is in dire financial difficulties in the hope shef11 divorce him. But instead. Step-mama orders them to quit school and go to work. She looks through want-ads and finds them the most menial jobs-dish-washer : Hotel porter I Street cleanerJ She says they’ll take in boarders and that Grandmother will do the cooking-much to the aristo- cratic old lady’s horror. Then Cousin Maude Maddox arrives - a sweet, kind, lovable person, whom the kids and Grandma go for in a big way. If only their father had married somebody gentle and refined like Cousin Maude J There is an amazing and totally unexpected ending. Papa returns from his business trip and the young Dills (and the audience) learn for the first time that Step-mama is really Cousin Maude and Cousin Maude, whom they have learned to love, is in reality their new step-mother I The young Dills and Grandma have been taught a much needed lesson and all ends happily. Other characters in this bang-up farce are Aimee Lovewell, who lisps, Pete Norton, a high school athlete and the Widow Woggles, a nosey neighbor. SPRING GREEN Presented by the Senior Class, April 22, 1946 The characters were not selected at the time of publication of this annual. SYNOPSIS This comedy is the laughter-filled story of a boy whose father just can’t understand him and a girl whose mother understands her only too well. Nina Cassel, the charming and youthful mother of two daughters, has patriotically turned one wing of her rambling old residence into an apartment in order to help the government house the military personnel of a nearby airfield. When the officer in charge of construction moves in, she is surprised to find that he is one of her old suitors. The girls in the neighborhood have been atwitter over the rumor that the Major’s family consists of a sen, Newton, who must, they argue, be terrifically dashing and sophisticated because he was bora and brought up in New York City, and also has been recently expelled from a swank boarding school. When Newton arrives, he proves to be a gentle, absent- minded, and socially awkward, a boy with only one interest in life—the scientific breeding of earthworms. How his consuming passion for his earthworms, including Jumbo and Salome, comes into conflict with his passion for the prettiest girl in town, how it disrupts his father’s romance with Nina, and almost lands him in jail, form the plot of the comedy which combines quick action and delightful dialogue with real emotional values. toc rciplid We vvlsh t° th®nk the following firms and people for making this a better High School Annual.
