Though the score calls for a musical interpretation of a sunset, the student body responds as a great organ to the touch of a master. Mighty is the power invested in such a small stick which guides with a sure hand the members of orchestra and chorus through the majestic measures of Handel' s Hallelujah Chorus. Music is a universal language, unrestrained by CAROL M. HOLLAND tongue or race 3 hence we are not limited to the crea- I tions of our own nation. x We can no more disregard the beating of a tom-tom than we can the strains of a symphony, for its expression is more than a mere mechanical re- production of sounds.

Our fellow companions cease to be a mystery to us as soon as various psychological truths are revealed, while the discovery of our mental capacities affords no end of surprises. The yard stick, quart measure and bushel lose importance as the tools of measuring in favor of the median, mode and quartile, for we learn to reduce all things to a base line.

Our social register would be incomplete without brief - HERMANN CODPER introductions to famed lead- 'V ers and their discoveries. ,X Mental hygiene also holds an important place in our dis- cussions. lt is only with healthy minds as well as healthy bodies that we can shoulder our great. responsi- I bility. For the passing on of ideals and standards is ma- turity' s eternal debt to youth. Education is life and life is education. Conlrnry to Fact BLANCHE C. FULLER BESS E. JOHNSON HARRIETT M.
