painted by Mr.. Abruzzese, a
teacher, in which was pictured
the progress from slavery to
freedom, in wall dividing
them, built with stones of
bigotry, hate, and prejudice.
In 1861, these stones were
torn from the wall so that
the slaves passed from the
red fields OF blood, and brown
fields CT barren desert, to
green fields OF prosperity and
freedom capped by the lS,..
decision of the Supreme Court,
and facing the yellow Of the
rising sun to brotherhood. Mr..
Anthony, another teacher
around the walls of the room
painted tom-tom notes all
about three feet high from
the floor. i am indebted to
Principal John F. Meade for
a delightful session which 1
am not able to describe as /

Noting the passing of Georg-

other to the long list of them
who have made their contri-
button to the program of the
Creator, through the musical

sterling pianist, and teacher,
she is largely responsible for
starting me to studying, away
back in 1901, when it was
hearing her play that stimu-
lated me TO 90 and do like

responsible" because she still
lives, and will continue to
live in the hearts of those
she has taught, and those who
have heard her play, and the
generations who follow them.
There is no death.
Another factor in the world
of entertainment is Harold
Durphy, who passed from this
life, last week, and who will
be remembered for going out
OF his way TO assist actors
and musicians in their acti-

confident that these heralds
Of the brotherhood of man
will be remembered in genera
