.. ,nr Enncerl-Meister NORMAN A. LAUB An accomplished violinist in his own right, Mr. Lauio is iiteraiiy, as Weil as figuratively, a concert-meister, and We find, in delving through hack numioers oi this volume that, in his student years here, he was First chair violinist in the high school orchestra. Recently, however, he has had to iay aside his heioved instrument in assuming the re- sponsibility for administering hoth the junior and the senior high schoois, which iast year began a merging process, now compiete, from an administrative viewpoint. Young, capahie and efficient, We find in Mr. Lauh a true con- cert-meister, iceeniy attuned to the many sounds and iniiuences emitted by his schools. Principal . Ranking a ciose second to the conductor oi a symphony in importance is the concert-meis- ter.

The concert-meister is the ieading violinist oi the symphony orchestra, and as such, must ioe thoroughly familiar with every whim and gesture oi the conductors haton. He is the pivot upon Whom the entire organization turns, for ali other musicians depend upon his guidance in interpreting the conductor,s desires. Page I7 'MT J Ii- 1 i 1 ,il
