Professors Ford P. Hall, James

the visiting faculty members from
IU, are members of that school's
Junior Division advisory board. An

The Symphony was given an
intelligent and understanding read
ing thru conductor Wishnow's able
musicianship and leading qualities.
Thus the orchestra brought out
every bit of interpretative power
at its command. The dramatic in
tensity of this work was percep

bars thru the entire four move

overture to the opera "Libuse" a
less known work by the Bohem
ian composer, Samana. which
certainly deserves to be heard
more in concert programs.
Two American composers were
represented with the "Rhumba"'
from the Second Symphony by
Harold McDonald and variations
on the familiar tune "Pop Goes the
Weasel" by Lucien Calliet.
The special orchestral effects
of both pieces produced the re
action which one may expect of
any attentive audience.
The program closed with the
Jubel Overture by Weber which
with its finale-embodiment of
"America" brought the afternoon's
music to a fitting and appro
priate ending.
