HUMPHREYS, M.M. y Vocal Music GEORGE W. TRUMBULL, M.M. Band Director ACUTUTY Starting out in Mexico, MISS SCANDROLI would like to travel A through all the Spanish-speaking countries after conditions there are settled enough to permit free travel. A trait she especially ad- ,7 mires in a student's character is sincerity. Because she now is studying the Russian language, MISS DRIEBUSCH would like to go to Russia some day. She thinks that honesty is particu- larly admirable in a student's personality and that charac- ter is more important than brilliance. MISS ZACKER'S in- terest in France and Spain is very easily understood since she teaches their language. She enjoys workinge with- young people and knowing that she has helped to mold character and to increase real knowledge of her students. Wagner's Meistersinger is one of MR. BORNOR'S favor- ite operas, he considers Howard Hanson an outstanding modern composer. A motor trip to California and other points in the West was the most enjoyable vacation he has ever had. Carmen is an opera which MISS HUM- PHREYS has always considered enjoyable. She considers Roy Harris' composing outstanding. A tour through Ohio with her sister a few years ago is a vacation she will always remember. MR. TRUMBULIJS most perfect vaca- tion was spent tramping the mountains near Boulder, Colorado. He lists as his favorite opera Cavalleria Rusticanaf' and Georges Enesco as one of the most prom- ising modern composers. 19
