Orchestra For music's chorus was born with light, Anti music soothes as does the night; This music sparkles, dances, glows; It sobs or sings as though it knows And shares our mood; it calms and stills, Reflects all human joys and ills. For boys and girls that work and play In this our Fiigh School every day, And dabble in the human plan, An try to learn just what is man— To counteract this rush for Fame This mad, glad chase, why—Music came.

Melody is what the average person remembers in a song, the part he whistles, or hums. It is the part that becomes a part of him or her and which usually stays longer than any other part. It is the outline, the synopsis of the story, the face in the picture. Harmony is the structure, the skeleton, the framework of music. It is the building, the solid foundation. Harmony grows around the surface of the melody and fits in with the rhythm. Rhythm is the pulse in music, the repeating of certain fixed accents, the mark-time march, the spirit of music which makes you want to move in time, step in time. The most savage of music is full of rhythm. The powwow, of the American Indian, the African’s marriage dance is largely rhythm. Negro music is filled with rhythm. Popular music is nearly all rhythm and melody and little harmony. For this reason it is flat. It lacks the soul and heart of the classic masterpieces. One hears it, sings it, likes it for a short time, then forgets it. The classic masterpieces become a part of you and stay with you. Eighteen

Football The outlook for a successful football team at the beginning of this season was very gloomy, but, as usual, Coach Johnson finished up with a winning team. The team lost its only conference game to Hillsboro and tied Gillespie. Nokomis, in the season’s play, won three games, tied one, and lost two to Hillsboro, the first game being a practice affair. However, Nokomis scored its first touchdown against Hillsboro in football history. Nokomis finished fourth in the South Central Conference.
