THE HART'S HORN WHAT ABOUT THE SAXOPHONE? A Publisher Asks the Question. C. C. Birchard, Boston, Mass. It seems to be a moot point in the orchestral question for schools as to whether the saxophone should be provided for as an essential instru- ment, or only as a cued in instrument. I shall state briefly some reasons for viewing the saxopphone as an essen- tial instrument. In discussing the question it is necessary to state .in general the aims in teaching the 1n- struments, and the ensemble playing of instruments by the young people. Doubtless the aim most held is the cultural one, that our boys and girls be brought to an early appreciation of good music. fLearn to play and to love good musiclj The other aim is of music as a means of self ex- pression. This last, to my mind, is the true aim-to use music as an ex- ercise for the growth of the entire boy and the entire girl, for character development through pleasurable, spontaneous activity, an exercise, to the fullest extent possible, of the physical, mental and spiritual facul- ties. Innocent activity entered into with abandon and forgetfulness of self becomes a real safeguard in all the issues of life. When the boy and girl exercise in their games, they are more than out of mischief, they are forming the habit of good behavior. That form and exercise of music which engages enthusiasm is the one in which music should most persistently be presented to the young. Now, I hear you ask, what applica- tion has the above to the subject of the saxophone? The saxophone is the instrument which probably most attracts the young, therefore, why shall we not use it out and out? In many quarters the saxophone is still a discredited instrument. But not in all. The professional musician is coming around slowly to consider the saxophone as an instrument of im- portance in the modern orchestra. It isn't so long ago that Paul White- man, of Jazz fame, was pretty com- pletely discredited in high-brow musi- cal circles. Not so now. There are composers of the first rank preparing manuscripts in the hope of acceptance by Mr, Whiteman. At least two Bos- ton composers of note have submitted compositions to Mr. Whiteman. Leo Sowerby of Chicago is reported to have been in Milwaukee with White- man who is playing the latest com- position by this brilliant composer. We are told that only recently Mr. Stock of Chicago has played an im- portant new work using saxophones. Mr. Mengelberg of New York City has quite recently conducted a con- certo for violins and orchestra by Samuel Gardner in which saxophones were used. Mr. Ganz of St. Louis is, we are told, giving attention to the fContinued on Page Eight.J PAGE FIVE y 1 , Ni ...iff f' sl 'wad' - V55 . Q, .

The nucleus of student life in high school this year is the co-operative association, This organization will function through the agency of a student council and a faculty advisor. Four members of each class, two boys and two girls, are nominated by the faculty. Each class elects two of these nominees, one boy and one girl. The senior class has the privilege of nominating two of its members from which one is elected by the entire student body as the member at large. The faculty advisor is elected by the faculty. This organization is to help solve many of the problems that arise dur- ing the school year, to develop a dem- ocratic spirit among the students, to train in citizenship, and to promote unity in the school. The following students have been chosen to repre- sent their respective classes during the first semester: Allie Brashears, Roy Long, seniorsg Regina Rothbaum, Tom Whiting, juniors, Janette David- son, Philip Marco, sophomores, Vera Katigan, Aubry Thompson, freshmen, Chester Mitchell, senior member at large, Miss Pardone, faculty advisor to the student council. A constitution for this new organi- aation is being prepared, which will outline the program of activities to be sponsored by the student associa- tion. .L..HH?x.. HEY! LET ME TELL YOU!

The first meeting of the High School Orchestra was held Monday, September 28th. Approximately twenty-five members reported for practice. The orchestra is under the direction of Wyatt C. Freeman, Su- pervisor of Music. From all indications the orchestra of this year is to be the best in the history of the Hartshorne High School. Several new and exceptional instruments are to be introduced this year such as, the oboe and bassoon. The latter was purchased by the school this year and a number of the boys are taking lessons preparatory to a try-out for a perma- nent player. We feel that the addi- tion of this beauty instrument will add materially to the quality of our performances as well as to the ap- pearance of our orchestra. The members are beginning prac- tice with enthusiasm and the expecta- tion of winning the cup at Durant again this spring.

Some of us probably haven't given the subject much thought, yet it is of vital importance. School spirit epitomized is the ener- getic participation in all school activi- ties, especially those in which you are best qualified to enter and in any other in which you might be of as- sistance. When we speak of school spirit we mean unity. All organizations no matter what kind must have a spirit of unity, and also must have a cause common to each of its members. His- tory proves that there was some form of unity in the earliest records of mankind, that they lived in tribes, each tribe choosing its leader in order to promote harmonious relationship with each other, and to insure domes- tic tranquility. This same spirit of unity means that in your heart there should be a genuine love for your school and a devotion to the principles for which it stands. School spirit takes in quite a scope, and to have school spirit many things must be considered in connection therewith, but above all, there must be an honest, conscientious elfort to do your best whatever you may undertake. All people have their peculiarities. In high schools especially there is a great variety of activities, some of which may not especially appeal to you. Almost every boy, and every girl is more or less enthusiastic over football, and nearly everyone will jump in with a will and boost it along: but will these same folk enter into the next activity with the same degree of pep and enthusiasm as dem- onstrated by their football spirit? When the football season is over will you lose most of your pep or will you carry it over into another channel as equally important? Yes, it is easy to have pep and zest in any activity in which you are vital- ly interested, but will you assist in other movements in which others might be interested, which might be of like importance, yet not especially appeal to you? Whenaboy or girl can do the things mentioned and do them right, then we can say truthfully that that boy or girl has a fine school spirit. ' What do you say-let's have a little more 59.13991 spirit?

On the eve of the Quinton game five regulars were on the shelf. Captain Aldridge had a seige of boils, Chester Mitchell and John Sikora both had injured shoulders, Clyde Cornelius had the flu and Walter Woods had a sprained elbow.

The Blue and White opened the football season Friday, September 18th, with Jones Academy. The game was typical of an early season game as it was exceptionally slow, a condi- tion partially caused by the extreme- ly warm weather. The only thrill of the game came late in the fourth quarter when Cor- nelius, husky full-back, broke through and ran eighty yards for score. Woods, half-back, runs from ten to twenty shows promise of develop- the center the final reeled of yards and ing into an exceptional back field man. The team played poorly on the de- fensive, but that was caused by their incxperience. In the line all the men showed promise of development be- cause they have that necessary quality of fight. After the half ended the score was 7 to 6 in favor of Jones, and the locals came back determined to win, with the result that the for- ward line of Jones was completely rushed off its feet. Aldridge shows promise of develop- ing into an exceptional high school center. His handling of the ball would do credit to a veteran and his defensive charge is all that could be desired. Morgan and Rush, the two Freshmen from Gowen, pleased the coach with their vicious tackling and lic predicts a bright future for tlzem. For Jones the entire leackfield staried. The Indians seemed to be in exceptional condition for so cally in the season and their running of the cnds would do credit to any high scliool. The oppnoents of Coach Lam- bert would do well to get to bed early and cut the dissipation to the mini- mum because he will have a team hard to defeat before the curtair falls on the present season. AT,H,..,-,, L SECOND GAME-FIRST CONFER- ENCE GAME. Stigler 41, Hartshorne 6. Stigler ran true to form. That gridiron aggregation sustained the reputation it established last year for being the greatest scoring football machine in Oklahoma. They out- weighed us 15 pounds to the man, and that coupled with their experience put them out of our class for the opening COACH ALVA CSNAGJ SHEPHERD. game, They played straight football -line plunges and short end runs. There were no spectacular plays, no sensational stunts -just plain old football. Their attempts at passing miscarried, and their fakes failed to connect. True, they profited by our misplays, which due to lack of ex- perience were many, four of the six touchdowns they scored came to them by this route, and we are not com- plaining. They defeated us fairly and according to the rules of the game. It was a heart-breaking affair for us, but Coach Shag Shepard's fledglings showed the true lighting spirit, and demonstrated that their three weeks' training had been of the highest type of football strategy. A little more gruelling practice, and a little more experience in the technique of the sport, and the history of their first Conference Game would have been written in a different language. The first quarter of this game was a draw, neither side scoring. Stigler marched down the field after the kick- off while our boys were getting their bearings until they were within the shadow of our goal, but there, due to off-side penalties, they lost the ball. Our first play was a fizzle, due to the nervousness of the teamg but in the second play our plucky little quarter, Walter Woods, circled the invaders' right end for a gain of thirty-six yards, the longest run of the game. The quarter ended, 0 to 0. The second quarter was a tragedy. Stigler scored three touchdowns-one by straight football, one on a blocked punt, and the other on a Hartshorne fumble. Score, Stigler 213 Harts- horne 0. The third quarter Stigler opened with their cleverest style of offensive playing scoring their second earned touchdown. Then our boys opened with an aerial attack that for the time swept the invaders off their feet, and before they could organize to break it up, Walter Woods on the re- ceiving end took the ball 35 yards for our oply score. Stigler 28, Harts- hornef-6. The fourth quarter netted Stigler two more touchdowns, one of which was on an intercepted pass within ten yards of our goal. Final score, Stigler 41, Hartshorne 6. Clyde Cornelius, Hartshorne full- back, played a masterful defensive game, and was a consistent ground gainer through the Stigler line. Faude Aldridge at center played like a veteran, never failing in any crisis of the game. Rush, Sikora, Henry and Ross at tackle showed up well, Betson and Pearce at end, and Yakubish and Lawrence in the back- field gave evidence of superior ability in their respective positions. Pogue, veteran quarterback, was the only' outstanding player on the Stigler team. Wadsley at fullback played a good game but did not star. What Mr. Shepard needs most is the enthusiastic support of the school and the citizens of this town. He says and the citizens og this town. 1.1.4111- Marshall Grant thinks that he would be a success in the Movies be- cause he has a film on his teeth.
