VINCENT SAGRIFF Lonsdale AUSTIN THOMAS r Blackwater O. T. Training HOUGH melodies sweet pour from the music room at all hours of the day, it is during noon that the deserted building reverberates with the tortured notes of the O.T.'s. These musical outcasts have difficulty in following even such simple tunes as: Autumn leaves are falling down I Red, brown and yellow, they cover the groundf' Never could one forget the mingled rapture and dread of that first O.T. lesson. Don't tell me, began the instructor, that you can't sing! Why everybody can sing! 'tNot I, came the reply-hopelessly, yet fully hopeful. Come to the piano and try a few notes of 'God Save The King' . Bravely came those quavering notes and encouragingly quoth the musician, Fine! Fine! Of the four notes in that measure you sang four flat notes. Let's try 'Happy Faces'! One! Two! Three!-Sing! Another deep breath, with the look of a cornered animal, the pupil emitted those pitiful 'doh soh's'! Sing Higher! Higher! Higher! Stand on your tip toe! Higher! As I pull your hair, sing higher! Higher! Higher! Ouch! cried the O.T., hitting three Hat notes, higher than the piano keyboard. t'Ouch! Ouch! Oh! Only the ringing of the bell saved that O.T. from complete baldness. How fortunate that Mr. Woodruff had returned at noon that day to test the bell system at 1.05 p.m. There is really nothing like an O,T. class-for either pupil or music instructor! -NORMA DEMPSEY. .
