Pana, Illinois, City of Roses, Centennial, 1856-1956, July X-ll. -/V Q. 977. 381 2 P191P k """^j^ ^'^=g£-*'-aw „ ILIINOIS HISTORICAL SURVEY S/^ -Z<^ JForcUiart Jtt^t as there is no standard pattern for Centennial celebrations, so there is no form for the production of a special newspaper issue or booklet signalizing the an7iiversary. As the "steering committee" within Pana Centennial Inc. got to work, several months ago, it decided to publish a booklet subsidized by advertising , and to sell copies to benefit the Centennial fund. It was agreed that the Pana Centennial Souvenir Booklet would be devoted to the history of the community, from its beginnings to date, and the staff of the Pana News-Palladium was commissioned to prepare the copy and produce the booklet. The histoiy herein is as nearly accurate and complete as months of research could make it. If there be eriors and omissions, some will be chargeable to the staff and some will have to be laid to failure of solicited sources to provide information. The type will be held for a month after the celebration in order that a second printing can be done quickly if the original printing is sold c^ut. If you are unable to get the number of copies you desire at Centennial time, write immeiUatfly to Panu Centennial Inc., and enclose $1.00 plus tr)C handling charge for each additional booklet desired. If by Aug. 1 there are enough reorders to justify a stcond run, they will be filled, otherioise your money unll be refunded. To Tom (T.J.) Phillips, native of Pana who came to the News-Palla- dium staff in January after his stint in the Navy, goes the credit for most of the historical research and writing the bulk of the copy for the booklet. Ackmn^lle^^mcnts The assistance of many persons in many ways is gratefully acknow- ledged. At the peril of offending by omission, the staff nevertheless thanks publicly the following: John Strader, Charlene Paul, Mary Montel, A. H. Prunke, George Searles, Eleanor Burhorn, Fr. T. J. O'Neill, City Clerk Charles Joley, officers of civic and fraternal organizations for their ccj-operation, pastors of the churches, Lyle Koontz, Leo Btytrs, Mrs. Will Kroenlein, Mrs. War- ren Penwell, George Penivell, Eugene SehniHz, Leon Budds, Jessie Winters, Page Smith, Fred G.

  • THE DISSERTATION.Pages
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The History and Semiotics of Early Electronic Advertising Music A RESEARCH DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Composition by Alex R Temple EVANSTON, IL (June 2017) !2 Abstract Starting in the late 1950s, the advertising world rapidly became a fertile arena for experimentation in the realm of electronic music. Composers explored new forms, such as the sound logo; new technology, such as the Moog synthesizer; and new semiotic relationships between music, words, images and concepts, including attempts to forge subliminal associations between sounds and brand names. Yet the composers responsible for these innovations have largely been ignored by scholars of both music and advertising. This dissertation is a step toward filling that gap. The first part consists of a literature review and a history of the repertoire, focusing on the groundbreaking work of Raymond Scott and Eric Siday, the do-it-yourself experimentation of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and the refinements that Suzanne Ciani brought to the genre starting in the late 1970s. The second part analyzes common tropes in electronic advertising music, including fanfare-like melodies, telegraph and teletype rhythms, sonic representations of carbonation, and the use of noisy filter sweeps in makeup commercials. In Chapter 3, drawing on Anahid Kassabian’s work on the role of “ubiquitous musics” in identity formation, I argue that advertising music played an important role in creating the idea of the Space Age. And in Chapter 4, I propose some modifications to Philip Tagg and Bob Clarida’s classification of musical signs, and then combine their approach with Kassabian’s theory to create a detailed cultural, historical and semiotic analysis of Siday’s logo for American Express.

Their lives serve as examples of the many personal tragedies suffered for a movement that transformed America from a society in which blacks were routinely excluded from full citizenship to one that now recognizes, even if it has not fully realized, the equal rights of all citizens. The following sections are included: (1) "Early Struggles" through slavery: (2) "A Movement of the People," the Montgomery bus boycott and the Little Rock crisis; (3) "Confrontations," the efforts of freedom riders and civil rights marchers; (4) "Fighting for the Ballot," the struggle for voting rights in Mississippi and Alabama; and (5)"Days of Rage," urban rioting and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
