THE LEGEND It Soothes the Savage Breast By HELEN MEIER and JAMES MEEKER To teach pupils to appreciate and enjoy good music is the purpose of the music department at North Side. Under the direction of Mr. Willianl R. Sur, music is taught, not to make professionals of a few, but to give many the opportunity to have some contact with the works of great com- posers, to bring out the best in those who enjoy singing, and to encourage those who play instru- ments to play for the enjoyment they can receive from it. The students of our high school are given the 'chance to learn the essentials of music which may inspire the few with talent to greater heights and many to a deeper and finer enjoyment and love of good music. To help Mr. Sur boost the various activities of the music department, the Parent Music Club was formed. Mr. Franklin Bryan is head of the or- ganization. This club was responsible for the fi- nancial success of this year's operetta, bought sev- eral instruments for the department, and took care of the transportation to the district band and or- chestra contest at Goshen, April 12 and 13. H.M.S. Pinafore, famous Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, as produced by the North Side music department, is a presentation that will be remem- bered as an outstanding amateur presentation. A cast of sixty-three students took part in the matinee and evening performances. Those who had the principal roles are Franklin Peddie, Ray- mond Bixby, Edward Rosenthal, William Benning- hoff, Harry Smenner, Faye Shiffer, Marie Wur- tenberger, and Louise Countryman. North Side's A Cappella Choir has always re- ceived praise from the citizens of Fort Wayne, and this year it has surpassed the triumphs of prev- ious years. For the fame which they have brought North Side, credit is due not only to the talent possessed by the group but to the excellent work of Mr. Sur, and the help rendered to him by the three student managers, Marie Wurtenberger, Faye Shifter, and Harry Smenner. and the ac- companist, Mary Ellen Sells. During the past year, the choir has appeared many times before the North Side student body. It has given many concerts at churches and ap- peared as North Side,s contribution to the Friar's Club Review. The choir has also been featured on the concert programs given by the music de- partment for the parents. A concert given at South Side was enthusiastically received by the students. Professor Sur reaches high C. 96
