Rides Sideways

About 10000 other baseball
fanatics viewed the contest and I
think we all tried to get home by
the same subway. Did you ever
try riding the subway in a mob
like that? It's a crush to end all
brushes.
Nevertheless. the fastest and
cheapest way to get around New
York City is by subway. Taxis
are pretty cheap, but the ''tubes"
have the hacks beaten. I have
done so much riding underground
the last couple OF days have de-
veloped a charley horse climbing
up and down stairs, although at
some of the subway stations
escalators have been installed.

Surprising to me was the fact
that the Childs' chain Of restaur-
ants. known the country over. have
gone in for serving liquor before,
after and during meals. I can
remember when they were pretty
cranky in the childs joints. If you
didn't order to eat and drink what

which approximately 500 music
performances were given. officials
music instructors and students In
Tacoma and other Northwest pub
lie schools were recalling the Ma
tional School Music Competitions
Festival from different viewpoints.
Most of those who had official con-
nection with the festival, even
though their schools won high
ratings. were trying to forget the
two-day strenuous program with
Its varied responsibilities. Stu
dents who participated were re-
viewing 1t as q two-day outing
with a variety of new experiences
Stadium Outstanding
Highlights of the windup of the
festival were the chorus and band
and orchestra competitions. In
those classifications. though there
were other superior ratings. the
performance of Stadium high
school senior orchestra, directed by
Clayton johnson, was outstanding
for musicianship and perfection In
technique. particularly In the Sc
lection from Beethoven's symphony
In C major.
One of the comments of the
judges In reviewing the two-day
performance was the surprisingly
fine character of the work of the
junior groups. This Is attributed
to the fact that In the last several
years music has become q part OF
the regular school curriculum and
and vocal instruc-
ton starts in the primary grades
