FOREWORD This year for the first time Rockford has a symphony orchestra of its own, composed of sixty competent musicians and led by Professor Andreas Fugmann of Rockford College. The contribution of such a group to the cultural life of the city will be immeasurable this year and for years to come. How very like the work of such a group as a symphony orchestra is school life to those at Roosevelt. There each one is given many oppor- tunities to learn how to work and play well under competent leadership; to co-operate with others; each one is encouraged to do well the part he has chosen for himself or for which he has been chosen because of his special abilities; he discovers that while work varies and moods change, the total effect is not what it is planned unless he does his part; and he discovers that while he hsa been working for group good, he has made much personal improvement, found harmony more delightful than discord, learned to ap- preciate beauty instead of ugliness, and began to practice a technique such that some day his work will be so outstanding that he will have to rise and play alone. There is much music in life; and it is in school that one learns how to appreciate it and produce it.
