managed to keep together on their
scores.

talent for his symphony.

symphony association is furtherine
interest by admitting high school
students and by building up
scholarship fund for aspiring
musicians.
This fund now amounts to about
$4oo.
Although final rules have not been
established, the scholarship fund
would be used to pay for lessons
OF students who already were study
ing various instruments. Tentative
plans call for sending the scholar
ship winners to Arlington teachers
