Conductor Asserts Youth Likes‘Heavy Music If It’s the Best Wheeler Beckett, conductor- composer who has been conduct- ing concerts of heavy music for young people for seven years, said “zoot suit music is popular only because most boys and girls don't have a chance to hear anything else. Beckett, ho started the Youth Concerts for the Boston Symphony Orchestra five years ago. after he had played Beethoven. Wagner and Brahms for the young of San Francisco for two years, has Just Monuments You will find our materials and workmanship second to none and our prices as low as the lowest. CUSHING MONUMENT COMPANY 15 N. Steel St. Phone 1055 BEST WISHES TO ALL IB i; Cushingr. Oklahoma introduced the idea of “grown up music for young people to the New York Philharmonic orches- tra by conducting it in three youth concerts. The trouble with most orches- tia concerts for young people. Beckett said, is that the programs are made up of the foam and froth of music, not the real soul-stir- ring music of the great compos- ers. I-ecturr Is Boring ' The boys and girls listen more or less respectfully. But they are bored with the music appreciation lecture which accompanies the concert and find little in the music really to move them. They turn to Jaw and zoot- suit music because it is more stimulating, and because it is always available. Beckett said his recipe for a uccessful youth concert—and he has never given one which was ;ot for a capacity house of high school students who listened, en- joyed and applauded—is to play the best music of the best com- OOS31S, to make the program notes brief and the lecture briefer. If we do not spread the idea of youth concerts. he warned. We are going to lose our youth audiences for the symphonic or- chestras. The concerts, given by the symphony orchestras, for high school students at reasonable prices will build up the orchestra audiences of the future.

They Sleep On There have been two little mice fn the homemaking department '•■hich have caused much excite- ment lately. But never again, it seems one of them accidently crawled into a can which was to ■••teep for him to crawl out of. The 'ther one got to close to a little wooden contraption nowdays cal- led a trap. Miss Nedra Johnson was very 'urprised when first she heard the noise in the can and was more excited when she discovered just what was causing the commotion.

About the middle of second hour the poor little mouse was discovered, too late to save his life. It seems that one of the home- making teachers was very excited over this big game, while the other and two girls wanted to re- move the little mouse from the can and place it in a jar. The U acher did not want them to be- cause mice have a habit of carry- ing diseases. So by now the little mice are resting in peace somewhere in this great town of Cushing.

From One Who Knows the Answers To Those A Little Greener Dear Seniors to be. Well, we’ll soon be back in the groove of vacationing time again. Was it a dream of schooldays? Yes. it was a good dream wasn't it? And the halls, they weren't a bit crowded. If the seven other people standing by my locker, had crowded in any closer, we would have been chewing the same gum. But regardless of all these pleasures we did meet a variety of people in the halls. Down there at the other end of the hall is a group of green Freshmen—they are going to their classes. And be- iieve it or not they're going to be .here on time. Up on the next floor are some visitors, there is a sturdy leather- neck. just home from the Solo- mons and with him is a Sailor who was in Hawaii on December 7 1941. Neither one will talk much about what happened, but they don't have to. the expression on their faces tells more than than could any number of words. Then there is a mother, wiio is going to see the principal. It seems as though her boy has been expelled for cutting class- es. A worried smile wanders over her face as she related the little incidents about his past—the win- dow he broke, the fight he got into and how proud he was of his first pair of long pants, and how sick he was when he smoked his first cigar. Oh yes. don't forget Mr. Five by Five, every school seems to have at least one who was too well padded by nature's kindly hand. He is the one. you know, who comes waddling down the aisle headed for the pencil sharpener and followed by everyone's books as they were knocked off the desk'. There is one narrow path between lockers and students, he can't quite navigate, so while he puffs and groans, those behind him push and grunt—and now I know what they mean by bottle- neck. Now don't get me wrong; I did enjoy the four years in C. H. S.. the halls weren't really crowded, and no one pushed, and not once did I get expelled from school. Only I've been wondering if I can say those years were really happy spent. From one who knows. A Senior. Quick definition—County press - cider mill. C. H. S.
