PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE organizations, but the members themselves do not complain. They feel that they receive far more than they give. Cooperating in these informal groups, students are brought closely together and friendships are formed that would never have resulted from mere classroom attendance. It is through music, also, that many in- dividuals receive recognition that would not come to them in any other way. Music has a place on nearly every program of such organizations as the Classical Forum, German, and French clubs. Students talented in music are constantly be- ing called upon to supply solos or instrumental selections. As a result, they find themselves lifted out of the crowd and numbered among the outstanding pupils of the school. Many of us regret our inability to play an instrument or appear as a soloist, but music has something to offer the untalented many as well as the talented few. Nearly everybody 'likes to sing and does sing in some fashion, if only to express his feelings. There is always a wave of enthusiasm at an assembly when the whole school joins in singing Wearers of the Blue or is led in the singing of some popular melody. We also are familiar with the melodies of several classical or semi-classical compositions. To hear these selections that have stood the test of time sung by two thousand voices would certainly be something to look forward top to have a part in the singing, would be an experience to cherish long after we have graduated from Portland High and are remembering Auld Lang Syne.
