An impressive record. But is
it an egghead school without

The school system starts chill

Highland Park is a consistent
power in State schoolboy sports.
A couple of prime examples of
the system are Bobby Layne of
the Pittsburgh Steelers pro
football team and Doak Walker

Superintendent Monroe likes

DALLAS, Tex, June II (AP)
1t isn't all coincidence that
the top men at both West
Point and Annapolis this year
are products of the same high
school. The school possesses
Ia reputation for developing
brilliant students.
Charles P. Otstott was grad
uated from West Point as top
man Scholastically and mill
tarily.
And at Annapolis, Alton K.
Thompson was graduated with
the same honors.
Both are products of High

of the school system of High

incorporated cities surrounded
by Dallas proper.

Frank Monroe, Superintend-

to the Unions folder cata-

artist. a photograph of each,
and a reproduction of one of

Seventeen Artists
Nearly 80 paintings at the
Union run a gamut from rep
resentational to non-objec-
tive. Ten of the II artists
show paintings in the latter
idiom, with considerable var
iety. Among them are geo.
metric compositions such as
Rogelio Polesello'S shiny
black lunette on dull black;
Luis Barragon's simple en-
phatic shapes in a few bright
colors; and Juan del Prete's
tapestries Of heavy impaSto.
The artists whose paintings
are representational or mod
ern figurative are primarily
concerned with figures. Four
present the mother and child

to the beaten path in record
collecting. Being a noncon-
formist can be stimulating.
The nonconformity need
not go too far. Merely pass
ing up the Tchaikovsky first
concerto (some three dozen
catalogue listings) in favor
of the second (three cata-
logue listings) represents
something. The horizon has
broadened a bit.
Stereo, true, still imposes
some practical limitations;
there is no stereophonic
TchaikovSky second concerto
yet. But there doubtless soon
will be. And in the meantime
there are plenty of alterna-
tiveS.
Among concertos, for ex-
ample, one can substitute for
the ubiquitous Rachmani-
noff second, the much less
familiar first or fourth, or
the finest of all, the Superbly
worked third. The composers
own recordings are sui gen.
eriS, of course; for up-to-the-
minute sound, there are a
good London edition of the
first by Peter Katin, several
good thirds, and a dashing
fourth on Angel by the Ital-
liam pianist Michaelangeli.
The newest third, a Capitol
disc by Leonard Pennario, is
especially agreeable as heard
in stereo.
The Katin disc offers an
attractive novelty, Tchai-
kovsky'S seldom heard G
major concert fantasia, a gay
affair with Nutcracker over
tones.
Rachmaninoff admirers
also should remember the
Paganini rhapsody. Those
acquiring the London edition,
with Julius Katchen as solo,
ist, will be able to enjoy the
humor of the Dohnanyi work
that starts out ponderously
as something akin to Brahms
D minor concerto or the
Beethoven ninth, and sud-
denly switches to Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little Star.
LISTS Totentanz and a
piece strangely titled Male
diction, played on Vox by
Alfred Brendel, offer some
striking 19th-century listen
ing of the virtuoso sort. An
other Vox disc, with Orazio
Frugoni as soloist, supplies
a piece even more obscure
than Malediction-a piano
concerto by Lalo. The OBJ
scurity is perhaps under
standable, for the music is
hardly earth-shaking, but it
makes an interesting con-
versation piece.
Vincent D'Indy's Symphony
on French Mountain Air
a symphony with piano-is
coming to be more widely
known. Robert CasadeSus
and Eugene Ormandy are re-
sponSible for a handsome
sounding Columbia stereo
edition coupled with the ad-
mirable Franck symphonic
variations. Those who ac-
quire this disc, however, must
either get Franck in dupli-
cate or pass up two charm
ing novelties on a competitive
Capitol issue a fantasy by
Faure and an intriguingly
titled Saint-SaenS trifle,
Wedding Cake. The delicate
Faure work is a find for the
French composers admirers.
Grant Johannesen is the very
capable soloist.
For those considering
themselves closer to the
avant garde there are posi-
bilities in Richard Strauss
Parergon, a meandering piece
performed on a Boston disc
by Paul Wittgenstein, and in
Stravinsky'S 1924 concerto
for piano and winds and 1929
Capriccio, ably traversed on
London by Nikita Magaloff
and Ernest Ansermet.
Thus a sampling. Most
people will probably go right
on buying Tchaikovsky'S first.

VICTORY l?l

One of the ironies of mu-
sical history is the financial
success scored by Beethoven
with a piece sometimes known
as the Battle Symphony,
sometimes as Wellington's
Victory, written to celebrate
a success of the famous Brit
ish general in the Napoleonic
wars.
Among its other distinc-
tions are its incorporation of
Rule Britannia, God Save the
King and the Duke of Marl-
borough March, better known
as For He's a jolly Good
Fellow.
Composed for a mechanical
music-maker built by Johann
Nepomuk Maelzel, the metro
nome inventor otherwise hon.
ored by the ticking allegretto
movement Of the eighth SYM
phony. the piece has been
acknowledged by all quail
fled authorities as Beetho-
ven'S trashiest.
Beethoven made the mis-
take of orchestrating his han
diwork, thus making it pos
sible for RCA Victor, on an
off day, to revive it for re-
cording purposes. Unfortu-
nately Victor has made mat
ters worse by choosing to re-
gard the subject matter as
suitable for a "stereo spec
tacular." BY the time it has
emerged from the echo cham
bers and assorted gimmickry
even the "symphony's" Curl
osity value has been virtually
obliterated. This recording
should qualify easily as the
years worst.

A bronze plaque, attesting to
