'Faithful Forever Administration MR. D. ERNEST BROWN, Principal First Semester THE MAESTROS It has been a pleasure to have been under the direction of the two Maestros, Mr. Brown and Mr. Hewitt in the past. As we have toured through the seasons, appearing before the public continuously, it has been their aim to produce har- monious performances. Among us there have been soloists able and willing to assume responsibility and add to the luster of our organization. Few among our graduates have shirked any task and all have contributed their talents. Now, as we approach the final curtain, we find each ready to appear upon the stage of life. To its faster pace and warlike call, all America is responding with willing hands and ringing voices. Among them we will find our role- great or small-and H11 it creditably. From you, Maestros, with faith in the future, we accept the baton. L MR. L. O. HEWITT, Prinriflal Second Semester MISS JEAN E. HINKLE Secretary
