The violin, one of the most important instruments in an orchestra, leads the rest because of its wide range of color and strong, clear tones. Like the violin, our seniors, the most important section of the student body, are the leaders of their fellow school- mates. The pitch of the tone of the violin must be true as it carries the theme. So it is with the seniors, who set the pattern for lower classmen and lead them through the variations of life at Tech. During their three years here they have acquired more and deeper knowledge, and now in their last year they have the strongest voice in the school. Yet this voice does not dominate the rest of the orchestra, for, while each tone stands out independently on its own value, it still blends in harmoniously to improve our symphony. SENIOR SONATA 20

The conductor swings his baton downward, bringing to a close the first movement of the Tech Symphony. A hush falls over the audience, for he is about to announce the winners of the most coveted award at Tech. Two deserving Techites who have attained the highest degree of “virtuosity” during their three years as students are about to receive the Charles F. Warner Achievement Medal. He speaks: ‘Ann Carol Elphinstone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert G. Elphinstone of 1476 Page Boulevard, is awarded the Warner Achievement Medal for her excellent record here at Tech. Scholastically, Ann is tops, and she has earned a high place in school citizenship through her good spirit, and willingness to help others. She is not only an outstanding leader, but she is a co-operative worker as well. Having accepted numerous responsibilities, she has excelled in carrying them out. She is, indeed, a model for the rest of her class. Good luck in the future, Ann!” 62. TEGTIEY
