An Open Letter On “The Soud Os Music” The time nas cbme mat I must say good-bye to all my friends here in Walkerton. As one nears 'gny crossroads in his life, there are always mixed emotions. I, too, have mixed emotions about leaving Walkerton. I am, of bourse, looking forward to my future life, but I will also miss my life here. How can I thank a town for all the things you have done for me? I came to you fresh from my university . life with high ideals and little practice. I came here not knowing anyone, but I leave behind many friends. I must also leave members of my “adopted” family. Never has a person had so many adopted mothers, fathers, brothers, or sisters. The people of Walkerton are to be congratulated on being so progressive in their thinking. May all that has been started here continue to grow. May each of you give more of yourselves to the betterment of you community. My thanks to the members of the Polk - Lincoln - Johnson School Corporation Board who had faith in me. I feel that you are certainly fortunate to have a man like Dr. Hobbs at the head of your educational system. He has been very helpful to me and has given me much wise consel. I sincerely tried to do something for the school and community. I hope that in some way I did Something to pav back all the kindnesses that you extended to me. The churches of this community gave me wonderful cooperation. Without their assistance, I could have never done many of the things I hinged to do. I feel at home in all of the churches and feel a deep comradeship with the ministers. I have found no barriers here. I have crossed lines of religion, politics, age social- and cultural life. I truly thank everyone for all their wonderful help. My future life, will be dedidated to service for others. I will be attending Garett Theological Seminary, Illinois for the next three years. FoUcwing my ♦•ducation. I will be ordained as a minister of the-Methodist Church. Whereever I -go from here, I will take a part *» of Walkerton with me. Hera I feund friends, happiness, and my future wife. More important, it was here that I found myself and my task in life. . r I found that all situations can be conquered if you have God as your guide. I found that you must meet everyone and every ocassion with love. I found true inspiration from being in the SOUND OF MUSIC, Meeting the real Maria von Trapp helped me to understand that love is so important in all that we du. Love for your fellow man. I have adopted Maria's philosophy for my own. It was written into a song in the SOUND OF MUSIC. It is: A bell is no bell til you ring it, A song is no song til you sing it And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, LOVE isn't lake til you give it away. May God bless each of you and always guide your steps. FOR "a job well done felling" < lean carpets with Blue Lustre. Rent electric shampooer sl.

The third District American Legion Auxiliary Units had a tea Yours in Clfrist, Curtis R. Sylvester The final curtain has come down on the Polk - Lincoln - Johnson production of the SOUND OF MUSIC, but it lives on in the hearts of the faculty and students that took part in its production. When the idea was first conceived, there were many raised eyebrows and many doubtful frowns. But as enthusiasm grew, so did confidence and the sh<<w was on its way. Casting of faculty members was done by speech and music teachers from other school corporations. Over sixty students tried out for the parts of the von Trapp children alone. Casting completed, rehearsals began. With a show the magnitude of the SOUND OF MUSIC, there must be much preparation. The cast practiced three hours per day, seven days a week for four straight weeks. Many extra hours were also spent on individual practice, building sets, learning songs and dances, fixing lights, sound effects, and publicity. With opening night, the excitement built to a feverish pitch. The curtain went up and the show was on. Never has a cast performed so splendidly nor with such feeling. As the final curtain came down, there were many tears being shed. The von Trapp family lived once again and those who worked in this production will never forget what a wonderful time was had. The cast was truly rewarded when each night they received a standing ovation from the audience. Th.- SOUND OF MUSIC is history n<>w, the lights are off and the curtains are shut. Through this production every cast member became something that he had never been before. This production proved to the people of these communities that they do have talent. Al) that is needed is the faith to do the task that is before one. May this be only the beginning of many musical productions in this area.
