gratifying, and due In large part
to complete cooperation of teach

the high schools.
"I recall that when I arrived
in Medford in 1944. only 22 sen
ior high school students and
about 40 junior high students
above the seventh grade were
enrolled in vocal music, as com
pared to the several hundred in
the choral organizations in these
two schools at the present time.
"Teachers in the elementary
schools have worked hard to
give students a good start in mu
sic as well as in other subjects.
Special music teachers from
fourth grade up have entered en
thusiastically into our general
plan of music education. I sin
cerely trust that Medford school
patrons realize that we have a
group of teachers of the highest
caliber."
