l EMMETT R. SARIG Mr. Sarig joined our ranks in September of 1930. Within this short period he has remodeled the Senior band, and organized Junior and Grade bands, all quite worthy of his efforts. Of a pleasing personality, never ending supply of energy, and likeable disposition- these characteristics will make you readily 6 W4 understand why Mr. Sarighas made such a success of his first year here in O. T. H. S. E. R. SARIG S i Music . . Music has been the universal language of mankind through the ages, It -is the common inheritance of all out of the past. It has the power to express every human emotion. No matter what o-ne's mother tongue, all emotions are felt and understood when expressed in music. We are coming to recognize the fact that music, this uni' versal medium of expression, has its place in our school program both vocal and instrumental. , - The Junior and Senior bands appeared on Friday night, December 5, in the first program under the new director. The concert was received with compliments to the members and director. The first afternoon concert, january 18, consisted of English and Irish music.

A SENICR BAND The Senior Band, although composed for the most part of experienced members, is truly representative of a worthy program going on in the band work of C. T. H.. S. Under the direction of Mr. Sarig, this band has rapidly rounded into such form that We can be proud of it whenever and wherever it appears. It has been calledupon for community work in neighboring towns as well as at home, and has never failed to deliver an inspiring message. Q Although we were unable to place at the district contest we are certain that we offered some real competition to the winners. This band will lose a number of members by graduation but their places will be quickly filled by members of the Junior band. Page Thifrty-eight Q ,
