MISS TRASK MR. GARABEDIAN MiSS FENNER MR. RAMSEYER Music Club: §. Unfried, pres.; J. Lowett, sec.-treas. PAPEL “Bach and Brahms together” With his hoof, Pegasus kicked the fountain of the muses, and music sprang forth from the earth and spread in brilliant tones throughout the world to inspire man. We heard music all around us. A counterpoint of music came in fragmentary bits from the music studio. We heard concertos and sonatas and études all at once. We listened and we learned that music, like all arts, must have form and order. At the music club, we came to- gether to listen to Bach and Brahms. We were sad the morning after the concert performance when we watched the workmen transport dis- membered pieces of the Steinway through the chapel door. But the piano was there in Mary Lyon for our morning classes where we plotted out our harmony. Some of us wrote the notes for our music. Some of us played the notes. But we all learned about music, the mystic art of the muses which Pegasus gave to man. Page seventeen

For Pegasus endowed man with knowledge and Venus imbued him with the love of beauty. They called this combination art, and man was able to mould his feelings from the stone. Thus man became an artist. We saw flat figures of brilliant designs painted on the walls of the Catalonian Chapel. We watched images of the treasures of classical Greece and imperial Rome move on the screen before our eyes. We saw pictures of the maidens who bear their punishment and hold the weight of the Erectheum on their heads. Discussions helped us to feel the excite- ment of Lautrec’s dancers who go wild with gaiety. Some of us were able to use our knowledge to create a statue or a painting. Thus we, too, have become artists: some of us creators, and some of us appreciators. “We saw flat figures” NH ERERLRAEUAD SAADEH Tou UasceU A AACAAUN AHR TENA A = ™ seapennenananeenss ‘For your room?”

MISS BURTON MR. SHARP MRS. MACKENZIE Left to Right: Mr. Dahl, Mr. Burr, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Reinert English Like Pegasus, Ariel, the winged sprite, lives on through time. By creat- ing his characters, Shakespeare has made his plays immortal. As long as literature lives, they will live. That which we have read has become a part of our own living. We met stylized man, the cultured hero, romantic man, and the psychologically introspective man of today. We explored the symbolism of Yeats, the satire of Swift, and the allusions of Elliot. In Psyche, we heard Richard Wilbur and other speakers who are the creators of our new literature. We have gradually been entering the world of the muses which stretches on and never dies as long as literature lives. Psyche: H. Lowe, Treasurer; 8. Horn, President; B. Macauley, Vice-President; L.
