    THE MUSE DONS KHAKI: AMER ICAN SONGS AND MUSIC OF WORLD WAR I by Jacquelin Joan .~~lly Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of :Master of Arts 1963 ( . I APPROVAL SHEET Title of Thesis: The Muse Dons Khaki: American Songs and Music of World War I Name of Candidate: Jacquelin Master of Date Approved: ojd1 / b J ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: The Muse Dons Khaki: American Songs and Music of World War I Jacquelin Joan Kelly, Master of Arts, 1963 Thesis directed by: Gordon w. Prange, Professor Department of History During the years 1917 and 1918 the United States participated in a 11 war to end all wars. 11 During the conflict the government deliberately enlisted the power of song both at home and on the fighting front to help in the great task of winning the war. The idea of organized singing in the training of the U. s. Arrrry was comparatively new at the time America entered Wor ld War I, but it soon came to be recognized as an integral part of the training itself. The government encouraged singing in the army both on marches and in leisure-time groups because it contributed substantially to the enjoyment, contentment and efficiency of the soldier. The ballads, however, that eased tired muscles after a long days march and boosted morale after a day of heavy fighting were not government sponsored songs, but parodies and GI folk songs that the Sammies themselves composed.

  • Heart of Danger by Gerald Seymour
    Heart of Danger by Gerald Seymour To Gillian, Nicholas and James PROLOGUE. "Back again?" Yes, he was back again. Back again in Library. A smile for the supervisor that was not returned, as it had not been returned on either of the two days that he had been in Library the previous month, nor the two days of the month before that. Henry Carter's smile was brief, just enough to be polite. He looked for a table that was free. "Train was late, I'm afraid," he said mildly. He wiped the rain from his scalp. "It's a dreadful service." He was the interloper, really, an unwanted male in a feminine world, and he supposed that he inhibited conversation on men, cystitis, brassieres, mortgage rates, curtain hanging, school meals, Gilts versus Equities, tampons, whatever women talked about these days. The table that was free was placed furthest from the small supply of natural light permitted to filter through to the half basement floor of Library. Pretty poor light anyway because the windows were of blast-proof glass that distorted and were copper-tinted to block the electromagnetic signals from the computers being monitored by any electronic surveillance from across Vauxhall Bridge. Different from his day. Seemed to have managed without lead-lined rooms and copper-tinted windows and computers in silicon casings and fingerprint recognition locks on interior doors, managed pretty well, and kept a few secrets .. He should not complain. He found space on the coat stand for his overcoat. His pension, even index-linked, was inadequate.

    WAR SIRENS: HOW THE SHEET MUSIC INDUSTRY SOLD WORLD WAR I A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC By KRISTIN GRIFFEATH B.M, Lawrence University Conservatory of Music, 2003 M.M., University of Arizona, 2008 D.M.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 Kansas City, Missouri 2011 ©2011 KRISTIN GRIFFEATH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WAR SIRENS: HOW THE SHEET MUSIC INDUSTRY SOLD WORLD WAR I Kristin Griffeath, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 ABSTRACT During World War I the U.S. Committee on Public Information (CPI) sponsored a national culture of war in posters, speeches, and films. Against this war-soaked cultural backdrop, the sheet music industry echoed the pervasive messages of the CPI, often using images of women to appeal to the American people. Connections between sheet music and CPI poster themes reflect the cultural dominance of war messages, and themes from various CPI-sponsored materials recur as motifs in the era’s sheet music. The sheet music covers, lyrics, and musical cues reinforced prototypical roles for women during the war (from angelic nurses to flirtatious tomboy recruits) as established in the poster art, revealing a gendered cultural code. By purchasing sheet music and carrying it into their homes, American citizens literally bought into the war propaganda, heeding the siren call of the female imagery in CPI advertising to invest materially and emotionally in the war effort. Analysis of cover art, titles, lyrics, and musical examples highlights the use of archetypal images of women from poster and advertising traditions, suggesting that the sheet music industry was an unofficial partner of the CPI.

BURT COMPANY MARJORIE DEAN, HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN MARJORIE DEAN, HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN 3 CHAPTER I THE PARTING OF THE WAYS "What am I going to do without you, Marjorie?" Mary Raymond's blue eyes looked suspiciously misty as she solemnly regarded her chum. "What am I going to do without you, you mean," corrected Marjorie Dean, with a wistful smile. "Please, please don't let's talk of it. I simply can't bear it." "One, two—only two more weeks now," sighed Mary. "You'll surely write to me, Marjorie?" "Of course, silly girl," returned Marjorie, patting her friend's arm affectionately. "I'll write at least once a week." Marjorie Dean's merry face looked unusually sober as she walked down the corridor beside Mary and into the locker room of the Franklin High 4 School. The two friends put on their wraps almost in silence. The majority of the girl students of the big city high school had passed out some little time before. Marjorie had lingered for a last talk with Miss Fielding, who taught English and was the idol of the school, while Mary had hung about outside the classroom to wait for her chum.

  • The Doughboy Formation of a Military Folk
    the doughboy formation of a military folk robert sandels The contribution of the American soldier to the pageant of American folklore is as lasting as that of the cowboy or the logger. The ' 'master workman" became the chief folk subject of the era of capitalist expansion in the years after I860.1 Although he seldom received attention from folklorists, the soldier is a comparable figure in the nation's drive for global power. There are a few heroes of expansion such as The Rough Rider, Theodore Roosevelt, but he never became legendary like Mike Fink or John Henry. A folklore of the common soldier, however, does exist and provides a rich body of documentation for the social historian. In recent years scholars have shown interest in the effect of the military on civilian society. Perhaps the most important conduit for military influence is the ex-soldier. When James Donovan wrote his study of militarism in 1970, he found that 45 percent of the adult males in the United States were veterans.2 Not many men fell trees for a living anymore, stoke blast furnaces or drive railroad spikes with their hammers, but since 1917 more men have been exposed to the occupation of soldiering than almost any other. Modern American society had, without noticing, undergone a massive shift to direct experience with military life as great as the simultaneous shift from rural to urban life. Central to the formation of a folk is the individual's longing for group acceptance. Few people felt this need more urgently than did the trench soldier of World War I.

  • The Yates Family Settled in California, the Discovery of Gold in January 1848 Had Led to a Large Number of People Settling in the Area
    The Yates Family In this book I have had access to the letters and journals of Fred, Emily and Mary Yates. They make fascinating reading, not only for their illumination of some lesser known pat- terns in the art of their day, but also as a window - especially in the case of Mary’s writings, into a unique vision and life, centered in the English Lake District in the early years of the last Century. These extracts are from their own writings, and other sources. They are arranged as far as possible, in order to let them tell the story in their own words. John Hodkinson, Hart Head Cottage, Easter 2002. Page I Fred Yates Apart from a few short biographical entries and citations, little yet has been published about Fred Yates. The simple chronology known is as follows: He was born in 1854, in Southampton and lived for a while in Liverpool. Around 1881, he went with his parents to America, becoming a professional artist shortly afterwards. He had two periods of study in Paris, with Leon Joseph Florentin Bonatt, 1833 – 1922, a well known portrait and historical painter. Also, with Adolph William Bouguereau, 1825 – 1905, a painter with a similarity of spirit to the Pre- Raphaelite Brotherhood, and known for pictures on themes from classical mythology, the Bible, and contemporary life. Returning to the USA, he married on the last day of 1887, Emily Powers Chapman, a pianist and teacher whom he met whilst teaching in San Raphael, California. From 1890, they made their home in England, and their daughter Mary was born in 1891 in Chislehurst.
