HIE FACULTY Music Hath Charms The orchestra leader raises his baton. As he lowers it, the opening note Of the prelude vibrates through the hall. With that note the orchestra opens our Drama. The players appear, and the Orchestra becomes backgroundg But it is still there. It guides our voices, blends our actions till The final line is spoken, the curtain Dropped, and encores taken. Then It surges into a triumphant postlude, Proud of the success it has helped to build. 1.'.- ---.,... -...- .,4, ,. . -.,, -. , .-v 1-,-3' if ...ANff'.- v. 15 - I-. f-1 1, R: W, 1313- 'Imp ply' ff':N ,hu ff . ,ss-' . iw - . of -KJ: W 5- . - '. .

ADMINISTRATION Shakespeare said, All the world's a stage. It is a striking metaphor. I-le continues, And all the men and women merely players. Docs Shakespeare mean that we play assumed parts on the stage of life? l think not. We cast ourselves for the parts we play. The great Director does not say, You play the part of a villain and you play the part of a fool and you play the part of a noble. In a play one may take the part of a villain and ilCt the part so well that the hisses of thc audience are the highest acclaim. It is not so in life. He who is mean and sordid and dishonest by choice wins not the applause of right thinking people but rather their condemnation. One may be handicapped by heredity. In early life one may be more or Iess the victim of environment but free choice in casting ourselves for the parts we play on life's stage is the lot of most of us. We are the mouldc-rs of our own character, the masters of our own destiny. Education helps us to mould that character. Our great system of public schools affords every one the opportunity to prepare for playing well an honorable part in life. In Sharon I-Iigli School you arc rehearsing to-day. May you take seriously your part so that in the great drama of life the character you represent may win for you your own selfrespect and the respect of thc cast among whom your part will be played.
