Edited by MARY LOU JAMIESON WODHS News and Views Music WWII Live Forever BY JOYCE PROCTER, ).3A Music is a universal lan- guage. All mankind should strive to broaden the extent of his knowledge and a musical education is one of the finer levels of this aspect which all should seek to acquire. Music is here for the taking so we should not pass it by, letting it stand untouched, There is a type of music to suit every per son and every occasion. Music has lived and will live forever. The oldest re- cords of music are those of the Ancient Egyptians who devised crude drums, harps and flutes about the year 4000 B.C. The first system of notation was pro- duced by the Greeks.

In the sixteenth century, Martin Luther com- posed many beautiful chorales. Shortly after, opera came forth from Monteverde. From the seventeenth century on we re- member German names like Handel, Mozart and Beethoven, and Russians, Rubinstein and Tschaikowsky. These men made history and laid the foun- dation upon which our musical culture was built. Today there is a great di- versity of musical arrangement. Each country has its own na- tional anthems and its own folk songs. There are grand orches- tral arrangements for the sym- phony lovers, jazz and ragtime bands for the younger set, cho- ral works for school and church choir participants, and popular ditties for everyone. Truly, we live in a music- al environment. Every town, village, and community boasts a music teacher - piano, vocal, or otherwise. Many commu- nities are proud to claim a brass band, pipe band or orches- tra. Most churches welcome all available talent to their choirs. Music is taught in el- ementary and secondary schools and the music festivals rouse participation and competition in musical events. Why then are there not more people in- terested in the growth of mu- sical careers, and willing to support their stand? If a young child shows any sign of talent in this field he should be intro- duced to music. There are many outlets for this natural instinct. But many parents keep putting off music lessons because they begrudge the cost or think that the many hours of practice may be painful to the child. Nevertheless, these lessons will be greatly appreciated in the child's later life. A music- al education develops in a per- son a feeling of self-confidence and an ability to get along with others. If one can play an in- strument, chances are that he will be a band member, taking part in recitals or parades. If he sings, a choir will welcome his voice. These activities give one a reason for doing his best to please himself and others. A person with many ta- lents is admired and a musical talent heads the list to be ad- mired. A piano player can be the life of a party simply by sitting down at the piano and playing old favorites for his friends. Many young people are church organists and choir AYPA Plans December Activities St. Paul's A.Y. P. A. met Sunday evening in the parish room to plan December activ- ities. Dave Wenger conducted the opening devotions and chaired the meeting. Three or four cars of young people from here will attend the deanery car rally iu.Clinton on Saturday. The following Saturday night members of St. Paul's A. Y.P. A. will sell subscriptions for the Advanee- Tirrtes with the commissions toeing put into the treasury. They will return to the church for a social tline afterward. The meeting on Sunday, December 31i w111 he a worship service with Rev. C. F. John- son as speaker. A toboggan part and dance will he held during the Christmas holidays. Mary Ahara, Diane Grove, 11!11 f)eneau and David Wenger were appointed to plan the event. Following the meeting the }onug people went to the Wen- ger home lot a social time. leaders and in this way develop qualities of leadership. Others play in dance bands and earn extra pocket money for them- selves, often enough to pay their own way through college. Whereverone goes, his music will go with him. Music can be a career or a pastime and one to be proud of. Many men have made music their life work and as a result have made themselves wealthy and others richer from the en- joyment they receive from them. Present day examples are Van Cliburn, a famous concert pianist and the "Beetles" "pop singers", who are so dear to the hearts of many screaming teen-agers. A musician's leisure time need never be dul- led by lack of something to do. Sitting down at the piano can be the most relaxing pastime to soothe the edgy nerves of a hard day at work or school. Spending an evening at a con- cert of organ preludes or a re- cital of some noted choral group can also be relaxing as well as entertaining and edu- cational. What would Christmas be without Handel's Messiah float- ing through a chathedral win- dow or Easter without the glad "Alleluias" ringing from the choir loft? Would dances, par- ties or for that matter, any social gathering, be the same without the appropriate music? Indeed, music is a way of life. GIVING PROPER CREDIT A group of children were putting on a one -act play in the back yard. A merchant had helped with some items for the stage setting. The audience eagerly awaited the opening of the curtains. As they were part- ed a child actor rushed forward and exclaimed, "Stop... we forgot the commercial!" 200 WLU Students Receive Awards Bursaries, prizes and schol- arships were presented to 200 students at Waterloo Lutheran University Thursday night. The entrance and undergraduate awards were presented at a special assembly in the univer- sity lecture theatre. Linda Kathleen Coultes of Belgrave was one of the 45 stu- dents to receive Dominion -Pro- vincial bursaries. She was also awarded an Atkinson Charitable Foundation bursary. Murray G. Hunter of Lucknow received an Atkinson Charitable Foundation In -Course bursary. Waterloo Lutheran Univer- sity is a fully -accredited liber- al iberal arts institution sponsored by the Lutheran Church in America for students of all races and re- ligious beliefs. It receives no provincial support and is cur- rently conducting a $2,100,000 campaign for funds to build a new library and a science and business administration build- ing. Activities Exams are over and activ- ities are beginning again, These may well be studying for Easter exams, but there are others. Curling is starting this week and I hope to have some in- formation on the schedule for next week's column. There will be a literary meeting in the near future. The students are asked to be thinking of things for the pro- gram. If any student has some- thing to contribute, it is hoped that he or she will make it known to the class represent- ative. These meetings can not be a success if the students don't co-operate. At a meeting of the Student Council it was decided that there would be a Christmas dance, sponsored by the Student Council. The arrangements have not been made final but this is one of the biggest dances of the year and with the co-op- eration of the students, it can be a "ball". On Tuesday at 3 o'clock an assembly was held at which the awards from last year were giv- en out. The students who a- chieved 75% in the June exams of last year's grades 9 to 12 were given bars, and the other awards were given to those de- serving them. Several parents attended this assembly as well as the student body. The eight-year-old Ken- tucky boy who chews tobacco is thespittin image of his dad. *NOW OPEN ....
