dedicated ta tUe Me mo o He laid down Iiis baton and walked quietly off the stage. So quietly he left that we scarcely knew, except for the unsung music which choked in our throats . . . music which only his magic touch could release. The ova- tion comes all too late for he does not hear his curtain call. Should he hear and should he return, it would be only to give praise to another. And so it always was with him. After days and nights of rehearsals and weariness, he never thought of himself but turned to acknowledge even the least of the performers. The youth of Riverside has lost one of its sincerest champions ... a constant friend and confidant, a counselor in difficulties. How many times when we were confused or despondent did Pop set us straight and endeavor to right the world lor us. He always had time for our troubles, no matter how rushed he might be, and we could forever depend on his cheery greeting as he crossed the campus, music case in hand. Our director is gone, the baton is still. But there remains in our souls vast, boundless music which he inspired and the memory of a great selfless personality to permeate our lives.
