And when. In the tint rayi of dawn of September 14, Key (till beheld the tame glorious ban ner waving from it accustomed place, he wrote the words of The Star Spangled Banner. The actual definition of the colors bequeathed by the con tinental congress is as follows: White: Purity and Innocence. Red: Hardiness and Valor. Blue: Vigilance, Perseverance, Justice. Jaunesse Builer As mentioned recently by the writer, in a letter to the eauoi nf the Medford Mail Tribune, a generally accepted opinion has grown with the years, that The Star Spangiea Banner is kj ficult for the average voice With this in mind, the writer de cided to investigate and called upon professional Medford vocal Ists for their views about the matter. Such wealth of helpful In-anirlna- ideas regarding the sing ins of our national anthem re sulted from this inquiry that It becomes a privilege to snare them with readers of this news naoer. The writer earnestly hnnes that those who have ac cepted what may be found only mistaken idea will challenge 11 in the future, saying in sub stance, 'Who goes there?" be fore deciding they are unable to express in tone the sentiments of Key s verses. Mental Hasard "1 think It is only a mental hazard." said Roberta Ward Bebb. "Perhaps we have not really felt the words before, as we do now with our feelings In tenslfled. Now we actually live the spirit of the words, every one feels It and we will natur ally out our hearts Into the sing Ing of it, the lofty thoughts of the verses. 1 love It. I love to sing It I am definitely opposed to any change, to another song for out national expression." That was the answer given by Elsie Carle ton Strang. The time and rhythm are not difficult, thinks Mrs. Strang, who shares in the thought of many others, as to its unquestioned dignity "Let it sing Itself' she advises, add ing. "The harmony Is beautiful." Since we expect "The Star Spangled" to be sung by groups, both large and small, Effie Her bert Kurtz suggests that It could be sung one whole step lower. In the key of A flat, instead of In B flat, in which It usually ap pears. The lower key gives a more comfortable range for all concerned, this teacher believes In part singing, group singing with mixed voices, it would not be difficult, she has found from experience. Right Start Needed Ralph Burgess, son of tha late "Art," and a former professional of the light opera stage, says that a right start is vitally im portant. "Let some one Just start group out correctly and they will soon be singing spontaneous ly and will reach even the high notes with more or less esse." Mr. Burgess adds, however, that tha highest notes could be "pointed" and still kept In har mony, a practice common among instructors of school children or in chorus work, making it sim pler to sing In unison. 17 SOCE STUDENTS 15 OR BETTER IN Southern Oregon College of Education, Ashland, Jan. 9.

I V, ""J? 'I.1?.'"? ?r"9l Edith Stevens "But a crowd is quite apt to start singing In t key higher than that In which it was composed, and it reaches the note of "F" only twice. In the original key. It some voices In a large group cannot reach "F," there will always be others who can and who will carry It through that brief, difficult phrase." "Yes, there Is something we should like to say regarding It," said Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Mac Donough. "We would like to hear the right words emphasized at the end of each chorus. So many times the words, 'of and 'the' are made the most Import ant Instead of 'home' and brave.' To do this, the word home" would have to be given little more time, the word the little less."
