eancfucfau ana! 5 These conductors of our four year symphony have become the personifica- tion of virtuosity, with patience and faith in us as a workable group. They have conducted our first movement allegro fashion with some of us not watching the score. ln the following movements they have organized the rhythmic patterns and means of expression, with our ideas being more subdued. Many passages have been difficult, but with their guiding batons, we have learned to accomplish them fluently. We may at times have been in disagreement and our ideas not sound, but the end we have ended on the beat. As the conductors they have built up with- in us qualifying expressions and together we have reached the great Crescendo that comes in our final passage of this symphony of learning. We may in the future be under other conductors, but we shall never forget those who have helped establish our workable traits and abilities to perform as virituosos, together with the utmost care and enjoyment. When our symphony is over we can feel spiritually happy for we have at- tained the expression, rhythm, and most of all the ability to perform. Someday we may be the conductors and deserve the praise that is now due our faculty.
