 Tn Biennial
 The big event which really put the Birmingham club on the map was the entertaining of the National Fed eration of Music cfubs in their bi- ennial convention, which occurred in. 1917. "of course. every one remembers that week. All conditions seemed avorable-weather place of meeting southern hospitality, the e certs--in SThe three local clubs again worked together as hosts, and all Birmingham opened its doors to the distinguished visitors from every part of our country.

 Public school Music
 "Our public school music was right abreast with the time. minor credits then beir., given the music students, our loyal business men proved their cooperation In very .uestantlal way, and our local newspapers ~ere simply marvellous. Right here, let me say, that I really believe that our newspapers hold the worlds record for generosity and interest in musi- cal affairs. They never faif us. Were it not for their untiring efforts and far reaching influence. don't believe our success as a club and a musical factor in the life of the com munity would have been possible

"All of the big successes in the life of the club have been mainly when everybody worked for the ideas of music of zre highest order for the community and nos for 1t sown vain glory.
 "The spirit of cooperation, the interest or support of all the musi- cal happenings in our city and state, will keep the club spirit alive anu insure the success that follows sim cere, unselfish devotion. to the cause of ones choosing.
