A Note about Notes Because weive lived and loved the songs, We're leaving now behind, In all our hopes and fears ahead A song we'll surely had. As the metronome of Time ticks into its fine passage in a remarkably allegro beat, we realize that now we're at the climax of four years, melody. Soon, instead of the carefree signature of sharps and flats we found so difficult to remember, we'll be con- fronted with phrases of discord, which we must transpose into harmony, at the begin- ning of each new measure of endeavor. From this chord on,ilife will be a composition of the joys we find in Chopins' Waltzes-the sorrows felt in Beethoven's Rapsodies. In the orchestra, weive learned how to enjoy hard work, and how to strive for perfection, and to appreciate accomplishment. Music has prepared us for the unforseen future, so that we will accept Christ's Divine Plan with a song in our hearts. Turning back over the pages of our high school music, we find within their bars, notes of ambition, labor, happiness-joined together to form chords of success. Success-such a small word to mean so much! Success in having delighted our audi- ences on so many occasions, success in becoming one of St. Brendan's vital functions, success in cramming happy lifetime memories into four years of bi-weekly meetings of our orchestra. Music cannot live without a sturdy staff to support it. The orchestrals staff is ably mjmed by our -director, Miss Belsito, and our very proficient managers, Sister Mary James and Sister Regina Mercedes. To them we owe the accomplishment which four years have produced. Thank you, could not reveal the sincere gratitude our hearts might express-if they could speak. Saying goodbye to St. Brendanls Orchestra-is bidding farewell to one of the dearest friends weive had in high school. However, tears disappear in the remembrance of the priceless gift we carry with us through life-music. Thus, we surrender our places in the orchestra to our successors, and pray that we may be remembered in time to come. Surely, the honor of playing in St. Brendanis orchestra, as well as the apprecia- tion and knowledge of music we have acquired thereby will never be forgotten by us. 73
