Bufte Falls Students Jake Part in Program Given For PI A Unit Butte Falls "High school courses should prepare the stu dent for his future every-day life," agreed the four Butte Falls High school students during a panel discussion Monday night at a meeting of Butte t ails parent-Teacher association. The opinion resulted from the question "What Should We Get Out of High School?" put by Moderator Ward Sybouts. Par ticipants in the panel were Eliza beth Abbott, Phyllis Trefren, Louise Hughes and Eugene Wright. Second half of the panel was devoted to discussion on "What Are We Getting Out of School." Eugene Wright remarked that he considered the experimental course, "Consumers' Science," of most practical value to him, while Phyllis Trefren found it of little value. Beth Abbott con tended she was getting more out of school because she was put ting greater effort into it. School activities and social life appealed to Louise Hughes as a means of learning how to get along with other people. ' Food sales for April 18 and an undecided May date were an nounced.

A group of valley music lovers Thursday night heard a concert by a young soprano who may very well become a person of consequence in the music world. Many of those who heard Miss Frances Thrun of this city give her first full-scale concert at First Christian church were downright excited over the beauty of her voice. Miss Thrun, who has studied in recent years with Caroline Andrews Werner, has a dramatic soprano voice with many out standing qualities. She has pow er combined with range and flexibility, and unusual beauty of tone. Miss Thrun's diction is excellent, and she sings with good taste. As Is the case with many mu sicians, even such veterans as Soprano Lily Pons, Miss Thrun suffers acutely from nervous ness which affects both her singing and her stage presence. Time and experience in most cases help overcome this, and will without doubt do so for Miss Thrun. She needs to achieve better control, particu larly on dramatic closing phrases. Miss Thrun auditioned for the opera star, Aslrid Varnay, and her coach last fall during the San Francisco Opera company's season. -The coach, Maestro H. Weigert, agreed with Mrs. Wer ner that Miss Thrun's voice has great possibilities and advised the singer to continue her study, particularly In the field of Ger man opera. Thursday night Miss Thrun sang the same song which was her audition number for Miss Varnay and her coach. This was Richard Wagner's "Dich, theure Halle," an aria from "Tann hauser" and her posibilitics for Wagnerian opera were very ap parent. Her program Thursday night showed Miss Thrun's' aptitude for various types of composi 'ions. She sang "The Lord Is My Light," words from Psalm XXVII set to music by Frances Mlilsen, and the "Ave Maria" from "Otello" by Verdi with depth of emotion and sincerity Her interpretation of such bal lads as "Danny Boy," one of her encores, and, of the dramatic "Morning" by Speaks was equal ly fine. Again in "O Del Mio Amato Ben" by Stefano Donaudy and the enchanting "Beau Soir" by Claude Debussy Miss Thrun showed her innate ability for interpretation. Miss Thrun was assisted In the recital by Bruno Pellegrini, pianist. Mr. Pellegrini is not onlv a masterful pianist but a skillful and sympathetic accom panist who devoted much time to the singer in preparation for the important concert. The concert Thursday night was in the nature of both a debut and a farewell, since Miss Thrun will leave soon for Santa Barbara, Calif., to spend several weeks studying with the noted singer, Lotte Lehmann. Ar rangements for the study were completed by Mrs. Werner after the encouragement afforded by the San Francisco audition last fall. O.S.

Famous Soprano Gives Last Concert New York (U.R) With her final appearance in Gluck's "Alcestis" at the Metropolitan Opera House recently Kirsten Flagstad has made what she an nounced was her final appear ance on the American opera and concert stage. She made her farewell con cert appearance the preceding Sunday with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony, in an all-Wagner program under the direction of Bruno Walter. Dr. Walter was her accom panist in the five "Wesendonck' songs of Wagner, with the on chestra absent from the stage. Then she sang, with orchestra, the immolation scene from Goetterdaemmerung," always ner greatest vocal triumph in long career, and was given i extraordinary ovation by the ca pacity audience. After 20 min utes the applause and cheering was stopped only by an an nouncement from the stage that Mme. Flagstad had left the hall.
