7 , N..- I ...fm ,,,..... ,mem-4 vw r QM, .M QWW , ,W ,gn Looking Ahead QZQDMSQJQ USIC is a vital and necessary part of any school system, and Springfield High School, sensing the fact, has made its music department one of its main assets. Even as has the school itself, the music department of Senior High has grown steadily every year since its organization in l9l6. The orchestra has increased from five instruments to its present size of 85 pieces, and the band has increased accordingly. From the position of someones new-fangled idea to he looked on askanceu the music department has risen to occupy one of the leading and most important places in the school curriculum. The increased importance of music in Senior High is greatly due to the untiring work and great enthusiasm of Dr. R. Ritchie Robertson and the people who are affiliated with him. Dr. Robertson and his assistants have carefully instructed and greatly encouraged all the pupils who have taken part in musical activities. 109

Www, NE of the bestfliked persons in the Springfield Public School system is Dr. R. Ritchie Robertson, supervisor of public school music. He is a tall Scotsman with a grand Scotch humor. He has been a musician all his life. He directed choirs, bands, and orchestras in his native Scotland. Among his musical talents is the ability to compose songs. Some of those he has written are: jolly Rogers, To the Circus, and Pickin' on a Harp. He has led many of our all-school singing assemblies, adding much to our enjoyment of them. The best known of his musical organizations is the very famous Boy Scout Band, which he organized a number of years ago. Dr. Robertson has been absent much of this year because of illness, and we all miss this grand Scotsman with his happy disposition and love for music. 110
