HERE IN H Islands music has always held a particu-
larly high place. Excellent music is heard in the churches, and
frequently programs of the highest calibre are offered the
public. An inherently musical person, the Virgin Islander
whistles as he walks along. and upon the drop of a hat any
two or three will get together to strum on a guitar, blow on
aflute, r.beat upon a drum. However, within the last few
years there has been a noticeable drop in the number Of must
cal organizations. Time was, we are told, when this Island
boaSted three bands and a number of dance orchestras. How
ever, because Of the great exodus, those who have comprised
the membership may be found on the mainland where they
hold forth. There is need for a revival and no time seems
more appropriate than this very week to turn our attention
to music of every kind. It would be well if from efforts made,
glee clubs, choruSeS, bands and small serious orcheStraS could
emerge. And It's entirely possible. The basic talent is present,
and all that is necessary is the effort to bring it out and put
it to work.
NO MENTION OF Music Week and music on the whole
could be complete without reminder Of those whose efforts
have played a large part in the musical development Of this
island Outstanding among these are Miss Imogene Stevens,
pioneer in Public School Music, and organist for many years,
Miss Haidee Ringer, veteran music teacher and organist,
Misses Kathleen Samuel and Olive Abramson, organiSts and
teachers, Alphonso Forbes, who for many years conducted a
fine band, P. @. Thlrland, another instumentalist, who gath
cred around him groups for the Purposeof putting forth or
chesdal music, Wesley Thomas, music teacher and organ
it, has made outstanding contribution to popular music. One
program was Fred c. Jackson, under whom many a young
ster took up an instrument & became exposed to good mu-

sic. It would require too long
a list, which space and time
will not permit, but these few
mentioned give an idea Of
those who have worked with
groups in attempting to pro-
mote music locally. Within
more recent years many a
bright star has shone in the
musical Permanent, among
these being Miss Rita La Fon-
tame, whose excellent voice
has delighted many an aud
fence, Mrs. Asia Golf Schjang,
who turned in one Of the fin
est piano recitals heard in this
town, Stephen Bostic, who
shows unusual promise, & win
some day be counted among
the outstanding pianists.
1T is urged that music be
given a very special place dur
ing this week in the life Of this
island.
