SIX MEDPORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Civic Company
To Give Opera;
Stars to Sing
Portland Rossini's comic op
era "The Barbef of Seville" will
be presented for one night only
November 26 at the Portland
Civic Auditorium. It is the sec
ond of three operas to be pro
duced this season by the Port
land Civic Opera association,
Oregon's only opera group.
The association is importing
four great stars to sing the lead
ing roles. They include Salvatore
Baccaloni, leading basso-buffo of
the Metropolitan Opera com
pany; Barbara Gibson, beautiful
star of opera and television;
Cesare Bardelli of the famous
La Scala opera in Milan, Italy;
and Desire Ligeti, leading bass-
baritone of the San Francisco
Opera company.
The "Barber of Seville" is
perhaps the best loved of all the
comic operas in the modern
repertory.
The story of the "Barber" is
based upon a French play which
recounted the efforts of the, town
factotum, Figaro, to help his
client, the Count Almaviva, to
win the hand of Rosina. In their
effort to outsmart Rosina's jeal
ous guardian, a variety of fan
tastic plots are hatched, with
hilarious consequences.
The quality of "The Barber
of Seville" is demonstrated by
the attention it has received
from some of the greatest opera
tic voices of this and past gen
erations. Such stars as Adelina
Patti, Melba, Tetrazzini and
Galli-Curci were famous Rosinas
of the golden age of opera, while
in our time, Lily Pons performed
the role with great success. Ten
ors like Bonci and Tito Schipa
interpreted the part of the Count
while such great baritone and
basses as Ruffo, de Luca, Chal
iapin and Pinza sang the "Bar
ber" repeatedly. All of the stars
to be heard in Portland have re
ceived widespread acclaim for
their work with Rossilini's mas
terpiece. Tickets are available at J. K.
Gill Co., or by mail from the
Portland Civic Opera associa
tion, P.O. Box 976, Portland.

Assistant Superintendent Talks
On What Makes a Good School9
"What Makes a Good School"
was the topic chosen by Leonard
Mayfield, assistant superintend
ent of Medford city schools when
he spoke to the "Dad's Night"
meeting of the Jackson School
Parent Teacher association last
Wednesday evening in the school
auditorium. ,
Mr. Mayfield discussed ten
factors that he believes make a
good school. First, to have a
good school, it is necessary to
have an alert and active school
board. Second, there must be
interested parents; parents that
believe that it takes teamwork
to make a good school. Under
this point, Mr. Mayfield discus
sed the fact that many criticize
the methods of teaching today,
and feel children should be
taught only the 3 R's as they
were years ago. He read and
discussed statistics proving by
tests that the children of this
generation are better students
than those of the "good old
days."
The third factor that goes to
make a good school is that there
must be a capable staff; a staff
made up of teachers who under
stand children and enjoy teach
ing as well as having had the
educational background and
training for it. Fourth, it is
necessary to have students who
are willing to take advantage
of the opportunities offered
Lone Pine Chorus
To Sing on TV
For Association
The Lone Pine school chorus,
under the direction of Charles
Bird, will appear on television
today at 5 o'clock singing on the
bi-weekly program of the Jack
son County Public Health asso
ciation. The show is a public
service of KBES-TV.
Mrs. M. O. Groves, seal sale
chairman of the association, is in
charge of the show, which will
announce the opening of the an
nual Christmas seal sale Novem
ber 22 through December. Others
appearing will be Mrs. Aubrey
Hill, Ashland; Mrs. Dick Knight,
Medford; Mrs. L. O. Rogers,
Prospect; Mrs. Norman Gail,
Gold Hill; and Mrs. Thomas
Shearin, Eagle Point.
The group will present a his
tory of the Christmas seal and

tions, as well as explaining

tical use of Christmas Seals in
Christmas decorations and wrappings.-

them. Fifth, a good school needs
a good plant and surroundings.
Sixth, it is necessary to have a
good academic program stressing
fundamentals. Seventh, a good
school should offer a wide range
of activities giving the children
a chance to learn the importance
I of privilege and responsibility.
Eighth, it should have a well-thought-out
program of individ
ual guidance and council. Ninth,
it needs a union of all the factors
that make a good school, and
tenth, a good school needs an ad
ministrative staff that is able to
weld all of the above-mentioned
factors into a team.
Mr. Mayfield paid high tribute
to the Medford city schools and
to E. H. Hedrick, superintendent,
who he said is recognized as an
outstanding leader in the field
of education.
In closing, Mr. Mayfield said
he felt that if the parents and
school people would think in
terms of attacking the problems,
and not individuals, they would
be better able to resolve and
solve their problems. He said
the most trouble in the schools
arises from teachers and par
ents fighting among themselves.
Mr. Mayfield further declared
that one of the most important
factors for. teamwork and get
ting along is knowing one an
other, and that the PTA was a
most helpful medium in this con
nection. The "Dad's Night" meeting
was opened by an explanation
of the change in the salute to
the flag of the United States of
America by Cub Scout Tommy
Stephenson after which he in
vited the audience to join him
in the salute. The colors were
presented by Cub Scout Mark
White, and Boy Scout George
Shreeve.
Mrs. Rex Nicodemus, vice
president of Jackson PTA, gave
the invocation.
Mrs. Golden Noble, president
of the unit, presided and Mrs.
Eleanor Jones, . program chair
man, introduced I. A. Mirick,
director of the Medford High
School band. ' Mr. Mirick pre
sented 25 members of his band
in a varied group of musical se
lections. At the close of the program,
the parents were invited to visit
their children's teachers in the
rooms. On the sound of a class
bell, all were invited to pie and
coffee served by mothers of stu
dents in the fifth grade. The
tables were decorated with fall
leaves, nuts and fruit. During
the refreshment hour, a prize
was awarded to the youngest
father and to the oldest mother
in attendance. - - '
