	The Sankofa Bird: Is it relevant to the new millennium
		Walter Henri Dyett was born in 1901, though I cannot tell you where; as his father was a minister, the family moved around quite a bit.
		Dyett wrote and arranged most of the music featuring the singing, dancing, and theatrical talents of the student body, with the booster orchestra in the pit.
		Dyett is certainly remembered in Chicago — there is even a middle school named after him, producing a bit of trivia: So far as I know, he is the only jazz educator in the history of the endeavor to have a school named after him.
