MUSIC AND YUVTH There is nothing in school more dear to us all than our music. It would be hard to imagine school life without school music. And now it appears that Somerset High School has decided musical gifts, Miss Haynes made the proph- ecy, and by the long list of song successes is the prophecy made good. CHAPEL SONGS WE WON'T FORGET: The Introduction of this year's Plei- ades from hatboxes and starsg the Indian Camplire Songs at our Thanks- giving chapel, the Carols sung by Central boys Christmasg the Washington's Birthday program: When The Ilanjo Plays which the Mixed Chorus gave usg and, of course, all the music of our last chapel during commencement week. I-10 voices sang The Angel and the Star , the Christmas Cantata which glorified our Christmas Bazaar. The Follies were so good we feel almost professional. This being our first musical extravaganza, surely pride is allowable. It was a Purple and Gold Chautauqua that fired our ambition to 'Zeigfield' our school, and now it is done, and done big. Miss Haynes is wearing gold leaf laurel, and more and more boys are say- ing, Do we get to sing on the commencement program? So, when you read this book you will have known the answer, for commencement will then be sung. Another joyous year gone into music and youth. Love and a happy summer to our Gwendolyn Van Cleve Haynes.

'lj Il.l'll'lllll 93 :s The .Somerset Idea. '- Faculty Reflectors Most of us go to the movies for diversionkbut not so with Miss Allie Fowler. She takes note of every costume, of every piece of period furniture, every costume designer, and anything artistic. If it's a dress in a style show, she must notice it carefully for she might get an idea for one of her senior girls' graduation dresses. If it's a piece of period furniture it might be of interest to her class in Interior Decoration. So, when Miss Fowler comes out of the show she is as exhausted as if she had been teaching school all day. No one can escape the clutches of Mr. Aust, so don't ever try it. One boy did try and Mr. Aust chased him from one end of the town to the other, even across the railroad track at Columbia crossing. Up hill and down he chased him, his long red hair flowing in the breeze, and at last he caught the culprit and brought him back to serve his time in the prison for stay-ins . This was Willie Barnes's first and only clash in the world of discipline and we venture to predict his last. Miss Dorsey went through seven years of good conduct. without a blemish on her record, but it had to happen. One evening she came to dinner but she did not salute us politely as she usually did, yea, not even civilly. It had so happened that F. T. must have a 'beginning' and an 'end' for his oration, and he was going to give it the next morn- ing. This was too much, so the inevitable happened,-Miss Dorsey, for once, got doggey . Miss Haynes is a jealous creature. Oh no, not the sort of jealousy you think. She is jealous of the men of the faculty who drink her buttermilk. She just can't see why men have to have buttermilk when they will drink it sweet. Coach Daniel usually remains calm. He has sat through the most trying games with never a change of expression. Only twice have I seen him excited: once when the loving cups won in basket ball dis- appeared from his room, and again when he was debating the question, Resolved that man is intellectually superior to woman. On the affirm- ative were, Mr. Ruffin, Mr. Ellis, and Mr. Daniel. On the negative were, Miss Dorsey, Miss Haynes, and Miss Swisher. As there were no judges there was no decision, but Mr. Daniel says the aiiirmative won. As for the cups, they reappeared the next day with a note from 'Jesse J ames' attached. Miss Swisher believes in the theory that looks are deceiving, and she practices what she preaches. Have you ever seen her bristle when
