on MUSIC, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE Who has not at some time found his toe tapping to gay rhythms of a name band, swallowed a catch in his throat at the powerful strains of the classics, or discovered a far-away look in his eyes at the sound of a romantic ballad? These are experiences common to every- one, regardless of his race, color or creed. Music through the ages has provided enjoyment and inspiration to the peoples of the world. Today nothing is more a part of everyone's life than music. The sale of records in music shops every day, the refrains that drift through the air whenever a radio dial is turned on, and the hundreds of well known bands and choral groups all over this nation prove this fact. just as music plays an important part in everyoneis life, the Music Department of WFSH plays a major role in the lives of the students as an activity of the school. These organizations deserve thanks for the splendid way they represent their school and city in regional and state tournaments. Under the direction of Donald Hatch, the band provides the colorful half-time activities at football games, marches in civic parades, and gives concerts even during the summer. This talented group displays its versatility as it presents numbers varying from stirring marches to all-time favorite jazz and spicey South American rhythms. The choral groups, directed by Miss Mary Lou Hendricks, sing almost every type of classical and sacred music. On occasions the choir has been selected by state organizations for special programs, such as that given in October at the state fair. Other groups, the mixed chorus, girls, choir, girls' ensemble and boys' double quartet, Win praise and admiration through public appearances. Thus, it is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we, your annual staff, dedicate this 1952 Coyote to the fine Music Department of VVichita Falls Senior High School. ' r I. K?
