The neighborS think he should
take up medicine. Schoolmates say
he's pretty smooth on the euphonium.
And his teacher thinks he can carve
a career with a violin.
But Wilton Syckes, the 15-year-
old lad in the middle of all this, is
going to keep right on studying at
Western High School, playing the
euphonium in the band, studying the
violin and see what happens.
The youth won contest for the
honor of appearing as violin soloist
with the National Symphony Or
chestra in the final students concert
tomorrow in Constitution Hall, so
that seemed to call for an interview.
Wilton was practicing at the home
of his teacher, Helen Ware, at 1854
S street NV. He said he had been
little bewildered at a rehearsal
with the orchestra Wednesday, but
now he was at ease and happy to
talk about what the neighbors think
he should spend his life doing.

This particular instrument was
the reason Wilton was wearing his
cadet uniform. A few hours after
the interview, the Western cadet
regiment and band copped the an
nual regimental drill at Eastern
High Stadium.
The discussion eventually returned
to the violin, and the youth admitted
that he liked the violin very much.
But did he plan a concert career?
That all depends on how good
I get," said Wilton.
Miss Ware interrupted to make
the observation that her pupil has
a natural talent for the violin . 4.

career of it."
Took Up Violin at 6.
Wilton started studying the violin
when he was years old, and at
the age of IL, he'd get up at 4 am.
one morning each week, hop a bus
in Cumberland and come to Wash
ington for lesson from Miss Ware.
He kept that up for three years.
Then last fall he came to live at
