“Now, you press the first valve down, and
the music goes ’round and ’rouml, and it
(mines out here.”~’l‘hus went the lyrics of
a popular song in which a possible recipe
for operating the French horn was given.
Many other ideas concerning the noble
coil have been circulated about before and
since then, but still the poor amateur cracks
and beeps.

The French horn is probably the most ob-
scure of the brass instruments in the orch-
estra. It is also the least reliable. The solo
player has to be on his toes every minute,
and even then the sour notes are thick and
frequent. Your author played AT the
French horn in the B.I.E.A. (before I (an
tered Armour) days, and knows whereof
he speaks.

The history of the French horn is a very
interesting one. The great grand daddy of
this instrument was, and still is, the He-
brew Shofar. When the Shofar family began
to branch out, a segment of the family
went secular, and for many centuries was
widely used as an instrument of the rum.
Finally, in the seventeenth century, the
horn was admitted into the orchestra. Since
then its mellow notes have winded them-
selves into the heart of the world.

Well, I suppose that one could tell some
funny stories at this point, in which the
poor horn player comes to grief, but I just
haven’t the heart. So I will close by re-
citing the horn players’ creed which is
never taught but always learned:

“Let’s blow for it boys and hope to God.”

By the way, who blew that good note?

and causing a train wreck? It. seems that
two of the “kiddies” are still nursing brulsm
es incurred as a result of sliding across the
floor and ending up under the Christmas
tree,

Riding the crest of one of those all too
familiar sub zero blasts the other (lay was
our old pal and former boss, Lil, ”Alene"
Snm‘lgrass, like a belated spirit of the New
Year. The former queen of the west campus
looked more attractive than over until we
spied the “Stay Away" metal wrapped
around the customary digit. it’s all in the
family though because the lad who has the
pat. pending is non other than A] Reynolds,
ESM D’l‘ task master. M ore about this when
we thaw out and recover from the shock.

Now that the EDT. students have com-
pleted their training and are now working
for Uncle Sam in various defense plants,
many of our girls are going around very
sail. Topping this list is Aviary “Butch“
Flasher whose “Dear John” is now in La-
Porte. lndiana. Mary can now be found in
various corners of the school, just thinkin,
or figuring through a certain book entitled
“How to Balance Ono’s Budget.” Blanche

is kept busy wondering whether her Gary
will be sent out of town or not . . . Keep
your fingers crossed Blanche.

Wedding bells rang for Robert Kcnncy
over the holidays, (or at least that’s his
story), but he made the statement for the
press, so it’s official. The title of the first
bride of the year goes to Adona Booker who
took the long journey down the aisle last
Saturday. Best of luck to you. While con-
gratulations are in order, Happy Birthday
to Agnes Grossman. who will only admit
that she is past fifteen.

Mary Therese MacElhcrno has decided
that; the only thing left for her to do is to
learn how to work a slide rule or else take
a math course with Marks, for she just
can’t. get the right proportions when cut-
ting a whole recipe for cookies, down to an
eighth. The result of this weakness was
a thin baLLer which brought on the addi-
lion of almost one extra cup of: flour.

Last week (luring one of the usual cold
chem lecture hours Jock Clmkoian came
prepared with a white woolcn shawl which
kept his “li’l” kneezes” warm. While on
the subject of chem, during a recent lec-
ture, a loud crash was heard. As to its
source students are still wondering whether
it was the sleeping Alexander or his books
falling. .

their l‘nvorlto selections.

Prokoficl’f’s symphonic. tale for children,
“Peter and the Wolf”, is a delightful fable
which, like most popular works of art for
children, is much more popular with their
elders. Columbia has made a new record-
ing of this captivating tale by the All-Amer-
ican, Youth Orchestra under Leopold Ste:
kowskl and ‘lfeaiuring Basil Ilathbone as
narrator (Columbia Set M477). The music
has more sparkle but llmhbone’s narration
is less dramatic than the Boston Symphony
—Richar(l l-lale Victor recording (Album
M666).

Those who appreciate that rarity in opera,
a good hasso—bul‘l’o, will immensely enjoy
two Columbia records by Salvatore Bacon»
loni of the lVIotropolitan Opera, a virtuoso
In his field. One record contains two selec-
tions from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni (71048-
D) and the other a selection each from Mo-

“Barber of Seville" (7143-D).

a Prelude to ‘Moussorgsky’s opera “Khovam

Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”, and

As with previous wars of the U. S., many
songs were composed to display our sentin
merits. The first of these is Sammy Kaye's
“Remember Pearl Harbor”, a college type
song with stirring; lyrics sung by the Kaye
Glee Club; companion is “Dear Mom” . . .
Teddy Powell records “Goodbye, Mama

there was suddenly a lull and everyone
wondered why Eileen Elmbinson was wait-
ing, only to find out that she had been
waiting for the pin boy to light his cigarette
so he “would have a chance after she
launched the ball.” High scores and a cheer-
ful afternoon brought on a suggestion that
