ThinU it over! (An Editorial) Archestras, bands, drum and bugle corps, and choruses, all have their times to thrill an audience. In other words, music is a large part of everybody’s life. Through mu sic the artist is able to express his emotions. Listening to good music awakens the best in a person. Two years ago when our school band was at its best we marched into the auditorium unknowingly elated at the music. We watched the band enter contests and gain recognition. The Girls’ Glee Club as well as individuals entered the contests in Greensboro and placed second. Then came a year in which no musical group of the school func tioned. Something was definitely lacking. It was music. The result was that the band anc glee club had to begin all over again this year. We have the greatest respect for them because they are struggling to give our school music, which so greatly inspires us.

If You Want to Give MUSIC for CHRISTMAS — Come to — Rackley's Music Co. The Secret of Smartness Visit ELIZABETH HAYES SALON Music Appreciation Group Studies Composers' Lives The Music Appreciation group of 52 students has been doing excellent work in their particular field with the aid of Miss Mewborn. Starting the year off, this group made a special study of types of music and how to recognize them. The types of music included clas sical, semi-classical, and popular music. The phonograph, given by Miss Mewborn, has been a great help in this work. With a few uninterested mem bers weeded out, the second report period found this group ready to add their bit to the progressive ac tivities. This group has started a study of great composers and is now studying the life of Beethoven. Ar ticles from newspapers are being collected for a music scrapbook to be compiled at the end of the year. As the Christmas season comes on, this group observes it by sing ing Christmas Carols. MEERY CHRISTMAS DID YOU KNOW? Did you know the instruments of our band are divided into three groups ? The trombone, trumpet, alto, bass, and baritone make up the Pressure Group. The Percussion Group is made up of the snare and bass drums and the Wood-Winds are the saxophone and clarinet. In wood-wind instruments the vibra tion of the reed makes the tone— but in pressure instruments the lips act as the reed. Suggs' Home Grocery Phone 1180 - We Deliver 904 E.
