Like Father Like Son:
Wagner Led First
Chorale At Age 12
By CAROLE FRANK
Copy Editor
"Like father like son,, is an ad
age that rarely applies to musical
families, but Roger Wagner pro
vides the exception which proves
the rule.
Born In LePuy, France, Wagner
was exposed to music at an early
age since bis father was organist
.

WAGNER
at the Cathedral at Dijon. At the
age of twelve, he was organist
and choral director at St. Ambrose
Church.
Coming to America, his first job
was as a member of Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer's chorus. Shortly there
after he was engaged as musical
director of St. Joseph's Church in
Los Angeles, a post he has held
ever since.
This was the beginning of a se
ries of events which directly led
to the first professional concert of
the now internationally acclaimed
Roger Wagner Chorale some ele
ven years later.
Recognized as the youngest lay
authority of prominence on Catho
lic music of the medieval and
renaissance periods, Wagner was
awarded a Doctor of Music degree
from the University of Montreal
for his thesis on the Masses of
Josquin de Pres.
In addition to guiding the
destinies of the group which bears
his name in radio, concert, tele:
vision and motion picture, Wag
ner has also achieved an enviable
reputation as a lecturer on choral
music and choral singing before
major musical institutions both on
this country and abroad.
The Chorale, itself, originated as
a city-sponsored group known as
the Los Angeles Concert Chorale.
In 1947 the demands made upon
the c h o r a 1 e for professional ap
pearances compelled it to with
draw from city sponsorship. It
was promptly engaged by Franz
Waxman for performances of Hon'
egger's Joan of Arc.
The 24-voice group was invited
to sing in London as a part of
the coronation festivities program,
to sing in London's Royal Festi
val Hall and to broadcast on
B.B.C. Radio, London.
The London Musical Times had
this to say of the Chorale, "There
can be few if any small choirs in
this country which can come any
where near to this choir's quality
in matters of balance, dynamic
range, rhythmic precision and ac
curate chording."
The Chorale appeared in the
Hollywood Bowl in 1953 and has
recently completed its first Cine'
mascope Musical short m color and
Stereophonic Sound, which was
produced by Twentieth-Century
Fox.
The Roger Wagner Chorale will
be in Lincoln Sunday for the dedi
cation eve performance at ttie
city's new Pershing Memorial Au
ditorium. Featured with the chor
ale is Johnny Carson, emcee, and
Stacher and Horprowitz, duo-piano
team.

What's it like to be
AM IBM SALESMAN?
Selling to management it perhaps the best training for management, and
it's the reason Gene McGrew joined IBM. Today, he possesses a,
thorough practical Business Administration education, responsibility, an,
excellent income all at age 27. Read about an unusual career.
You're Gene, McGrew . high school
footballer and class officer. You won a
scholarship and went through Prince
ton in the top third of your class . . .
managed varsity track . . . commanded
an artillery battery in Korea . . .
"When you put a lot of preparation in
to your career," Gt . ; McGrew feels,
"you should expect uijof opportunity
in return."
Meets 13M representative
Out of the Army in 1953, Gene met
an IBM representative.. It sounded
like opportunity. A few interviews
later, Gene was sure. Although sales
was only one of the many jobs he felt
he could handle, this kind of selling
(IBM machines are as much an idea
as a product) promised to occupy
every talent he possessed. Besides,
he' 8 learned that "no other form of
training produces so many top busi
,tiess managers."
Makes first sale
Gene's first sale, to a bank, required
thorough study ; consultations; a writ
ten recommendation. The climax
came, Gene remembers, when he
submitted his analysis to the vice
president arid received that gentle
man's signature.

Then began a 13 months' training
program marked by merit salary in
creases. First 3 months' schooling
and observing operations in Pitts
burgh (Gene's hometown). Next 2
months' studying the. applications of
IBM's electronic data processing ma
chines in business, science, go.vern-.
ment, and defense. Followed by 7
months' practical training in the field,
with customer contact. Followed by
IBM's famous course in selling meth-.
ods. Finally, assignment to a salas
territory near Pittsburgh, responsible
for about 14 companies and their ex
ecutives who used IBM equipment,
and a do?en or so more who were
logical prospects for it.
Pliciming customer installation
Gene's latest sale was to a large
industrial corporation. He's now pre
paring this customer for the installa
tion of an IBM electronic system
designed to simplify financial pro
cedure; inventory and other systems
problems. At 2 7, Gene finds himself top
man on an important account. He's
educator, salesman, administrator.
How would Gene define selling?
"We feel the best way to sell is to be
able to consult. The best way to con
sult is to know something of value
your customer doesn't. IBM's 'some
thing of value' is profit through"
automation."
Gene's thoughts on competition:
"The entire Office Machine Industry
feels the lead pencil is the biggest
competitor. You've no idea how many
time-consuming clerical jobs can be
mechanized, thus freeing people for
important, creative jobs. IBM's suc
cess in the field is due, to service,
knowledge, 'know-how'."
Does Gene find his youth
a handicap?
"It's what you know not how old
you are that counts. I deal, with
executives twice my age on a basis of
'equality, because they respect my
training and my business judgment."
Future wide open
"I'm getting married soon, and I was
amazed to realize how much security
IBM's growth (sales have doubled on
the average every, five years since
1930) and benefits represent. But I
think my real security lies in the
chance to use my own ability fully
and freely. There are nearly 200
Branch Managerships, 15 District
Managerships and executive positions
in 5 other divisions ahead of me. IBM
is introducing new machines, system!
and concepts so fast that, every Mon
day, we have a 'new idea' meeting
just to keep up." ,
IBM hopes this message will give
you some idea of what it's like to be a
salesman at IBM. There are equal
opportunities for E.E.'a, I.E.'s,
M.E.'s, physicists, mathematicians,
and Liberal Arts majors in IBM's
many divisions Research, Product
Development, Manufacturing En
