MUSIC Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak. — Congrcvc. GLENN GRANT GRABILL, Director of the Conservatory Under the direction of this ■ Huropean trained musician, the Con- servatory has reached a high degree of excellence. A word of praise from him counts for much. As a teacher he can ' t be beat. His favorite brand of gum is Spearmint. MUSIC Music so softens and disarms the mind That not an arrow does resistance find. ' — Waller. FRANK JORDAN RESLER, Ph.B., Instructor in Voice Everyone loves Dad. He and his little dears, as he calls them, need no eulogy — they warble their own. ' hen his pet phrase, For Heaven ' s sake, frightens the dears into a panic, his I love you dearly, always quiets them. His jokes always take, for he tells when to laugh. MUSIC Nature was here so lavish of her store That she bestowed until she had no more. — Brozcn. MAUD ALICE HANAWALT, Instructor in Piano If anyone ever gets through liss Ilanawalt ' s finger gymnastics without having his fingers deformed or getting his disposition ruined he is lucky. But when he once recovers he is sure to be able to per- form any stunt imaginable on the piano. She rivals Leschetizky him- self when it comes to handling the piano. MUSIC There is a sadness in sweet sound That quickens tears. LUCELLE GILBERT, Instructor in Violin This musician-haired boy has in one brief year established his repu- tation as a violinist. He has also proved himself an able leader of the college band and orchestra. Greater still is his wonderful power of im- personating. He stars most as a representative of the Big Four babboon family. 21
