In every community you will find a class of people who no longer do platform work, who have been educated musicalIy and perhaps formerly followed music in some form. as a means of livelihood. They are always valuable as executives, and if excluded from the active list because they no longer do platform work, they have no entrance into your club ex- cept through the associate list.
