"Mr. Music" Returns to North High!

It was an incredible honor to have Mr. John Svoboda with us at North High this afternoon.  Mr. Svoboda (who is 91 years young!) was the District 99 Orchestra Director from 1951 to 1978, teaching in literally every elementary, middle and high school in our community.  We found the 1957 yearbook in the Alumni Room; the "Cauldron" was dedicated to him that year: "Mr. Music."

Mr. Svoboda's grandson, Thomas Svoboda, has been a four year member of our orchestra and jazz bands.  Thomas will graduate from North High this Friday.
