MUSIC The subdued breathings forth of a violin or the impassioned stress of a mighty chorus — give to either of them the soul of the poet who would give his message to the world, and your heart and mine will thrill with the music presented. In our hearts the melody will resound throughout the days to come and we will feel ourselves better for the listening. At Trevecca we endeavor to say with music those thoughts and emotions which we have not the power to express other- wise. Perhaps It Is an anthem, a hymn, or a classic, but what- ever the selection and the medium, our musicians endeavor to experience the raptures of the poet and composer and to give to the world a song which will live through the days to come. Our singers are frequently called upon to assist with public services at various churches, tate part In programs at local schools, contribute their part to a service at the jail or work- houses or add the artistic touch to formal occasions. And wherever they go, these minls+ers of song woo the hearts of the people to God and to thoughts of His Kingdom. ■COLLEGE HI LL TRIO GLAD TIDINGS TRIO ' Ward, Peery. Kiiippers

Nearly every member of our student body works at some task to help pay his expenses. The hours which a student works during the week may range from forty to less than one, but the average would be three or four hours, probably. Various jobs there are to be done — not all of them easy or inviting, but when a person wants an education and knows he. must work to get it, he decides he can do almost anything. Some of our students have special abilities whereby they merit office positions; some few select persons assist in the library. Others sing over soapsuds, clean class- rooms, keep dormitory halls splc-an ' -span, do the milk Ing, or help beautify the campus. And then there is now and then that person who is able to find for him- self a job which nobody else has had the ingenuity to see before. Very few of the students earn all their expenses by work during the school year, for their lessons demand more time than that sort of schedule would leave. For the work which is done, payment is received either in meal tickets, credit toward the expenses for the next quarter, or, under special conditions, in cash. But we work together and learn to put Into practice some of the theories which we are learning in our various classes, and we find that the combination is a very good one. Merle McNaron II
