HERALD AND NEWS THREE -
By LOIS STEWART
Klamath Falls need bend its
knee to no man as far as music
in the city schools is concerned.
evidence of lust what a long
range music program means
was presented Thursday and
Friday nights in Klamath Union
high 3Chool auditorium when
the music department of KUHS
appeared in the annual spring
concert.
Packed houses both niehts
greeted, the youngsters who per
formed like professionals,
worked like beavers, and as a
result eave to the admlrine
friends, parents, and just plain
music lovers, iwo evenings oi
the finest entertainment possible.
Evcrv Derson in the audience
last night, and the same must
have been, true of Thursday,
(even those sitting in the aisles),
found music to their liking. In
strumental numbers, the lovely
blending of voices, the thrilling
tones of the a cappella choir,
straight through to the stirring
strains of martial music, com
bined to deliver on a silver
platter a program which even
overshadowed last year's performance.
' The evening opened with
John Best directing the orches
tra which introduced "Hillbilly"
from the suite "Americana," by
Morton Gould. This was espe
cially well accepted although
many responded to the excel
lent performance of the Brahms
favorite, "Hungarian Dance No.
5,"
Steve Stone in a trombone
solo, "Loves Enchantment
and Marjorie Huskinson. in a
tenor saxophone solo, both ac
companied by Barbara Zinn at
the piano, gave outstanding per
formances and were instances
of the splendid individual work
as accomplished by students of
the music department. . -Right
here should be given a
plug for Barbara Zinn who has
faithfully accompanied groups
and individuals for the past
two years. Last night and
Thursday, Barbara", was given
a spot of her own when she
turned in a beautiful job as
piano soloist with the. concert
band. Her work in "LaRou
gette," by Bennett, was profes
sional. Five numbers by the Girls'
Glee club, also directed by John
Best of the music, department,
were done in high style and of
fered a wide range of favorites.
Louise Reed was an excellent
accompanist.
The robed a capnella choir.
of which Klamath Falls is so
rightly proud, was greeted .with
a round of aDDlause. ODenine
with "Tenebrae Factae Sunt"
and closing with the encore,
"Gloria. In Excelsis," the choir
performed with an artistry
rarely found among high, school
students. Andrew Loney Jr.,- di
rector of music in the: schools,
directed this group. The young
sters, who sing for the love of
singing, compare with anything
in the state of Oregon. Their
When Johnny Comes March
ing Home," a spirited number
and sung with musical appetite,
was new to the audience and
thoroughly relished.
Alyce wells, vocalist, singing
"I'll Get By." and Steven Stone,
as student conductor, were well
accepted during ' the closing
numbers by the concert band.
rne Dana, proDamy tne ra
vorite of almost everyone in
the' audience for its colorful
performance, showed a remark
able improvement over last
vear. And last year everyone
considered tne band tops. Al
though each number deserves
mention, "Stormy Vfeather" and
Stars and Stripes Forever,"
march, were the two the audi
ence talked about when home
ward ' bound. Andy Loney's
trumpets, trombones and pic
colos in the march number, and
the reed section in "Stormy
Weather," were most effective.
Giving the concert two nights
was a very smart idea, and
gave just twice as many people
a chance to hear the-high school
students. It means, more than
likely, that in the future .two
concerts, and perhaps three, will
be necessary. .
Klamath Falls need bend Its
knee to no man. We'd like to
see the music department In
competition. But not with any
town the size of ours. Probably
a town maybe two or .three
times biggerl

fNCE the weather changed
face and came over to our
side, it seems to have gone ALL
OUT for us. Not only are the
skies clear for our myriad
planes. The dispatches this
morning report that the spring
thaws are past and the ground
is hardening under a BLAZING
spring sun. That will provide
firm ground for our tanks and
our transports.
THERE is high hope on our

broken, decisive victory in Eu

from the Rhine bank this morn
ing, says that for the first time
the always oessimistic GIs who
do the fighting and the suffer

ing that this is IT that now we
will finish them off. He adds;
"There is not a man, American

vate, who doesn't feel that this
is the beginning of the last
major battle that will bring the
war to a quick end. ,
' '
TT is too early to do much spec-
ulating. Our minds are pos
sessed at this moment .by the
battle itself. '
But this is a fair guess: In
stead of tackling the Ruhr front-
ally, with its dozens ot cities
providing opportunities tor de
laying house-to-house fighting,
we'll go AROUND it, on the
north and on the south, in the
Russian manner, joining to the
east and isolating it.
It seems likely that one prong
of our lower Rhine offensive
will turn to the left, cutting off
northern Holland and wiping
out the Y-bomb sites from which
England is still being, harried.
Another spearhead will probab

the north German plain to meet
the Russians advancing west

Now 'safe 1 v across the
Rhine, more quickly and more
cheaply than he had expected,
it seems as near certain as any
thing can be that he will push
eastward, across southern Ger

they fight their way through
Vienna and up the Danube.
(Don't jump to the conclusion
that all these things will tome
