2A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdoy, February 12, 1966 TEEN SCENE DINNIS HERCIA LUCILLE BAH PRENE SHLAPAK PAUL MAUNDER GARY ARCHER TEENS TALK OF EXAMS Some Ontario universities now are granting entrance to high-standing grade 13 students inte arts and science courses without having to write grade 13 finals. Six students at Central CVI were asked what they thought about the new method of skipping final exams. TERI NORMOYLE GARY ARCHER, 17 grade 11: "It might make students too confident. They work hard for two terms and then it all seems too easy not to have to write grade 13." TERI NORMOYLE, 16, grade 11: "I think grade 13 is pretty well a crammied course. A student works 'hard all year and the good ones look forward to going to university. Under tension of final exams some who would normally do well break under the strain. I think finals should be done." PAUL MAUNDER, 17, grade 12: "'T think the elimination of grade 13 final exams is good if it doesn't interfere with the --* of a diploma and subsequently, future employ- ment." DENNIS HERCIA, 16, grade 11: "This plan will. work quite well because those students who are sometimes cut off from university with the hard grade 13 exams, will, instead get into university and perhaps finish their studies." LUCILLE BAK, 18, grade 12: "If you worked hard all year and got a fairly high mark, then it's a wonderful idea to be exempted providing that this new scheme doesn't interfere with receiving grade 13 school awards, then it's great." IRENE SHLAPAK, 19, grade 13: "I think it's great to the extent that it will keep the student working throughout the first two terms rather than cramming for the last. And believe me that's what most of us do. One disadvantage is that we may not get our honor diploma and if this is the case I would try to write that last set in | case of any com- plication later in life insofar as a job goes."

LIBRARY NEWS AND REVIEWS | Praises Sung Of Clarity, Wit In Music Criticism Tue foliowing reviews | were written by Samuel Schulze, of the Music De- parcment of the McLaughlin Public Library. Essays in Musical Analysis, by Donald Francis Tovey, a/| 'series of six 'volumes, has acquired a reputation for acute- ness, clarity, and wit, un- equalled by any history of music criticism. It is made up of a complete collection of famous program notes which Sir Donald Tovey wrote for his concerts with the Reid Orches- tra in Edinburgh. As such, it is an indispensable | commentary for any music lover and concert goer. It eval- | uates the musical, as well as aesthetic merit of works which the average con- cert goer is likely to come across. The six volumes are divided thus: I. Symphonies; II. Variations and orchestral poly- | phony; II. Concertos; IV. Illus- | Vocal music; | glos- | trative music; V. VI. Miscellaneous sary, and index. notes, The Interpretation of Music, by Thurston Dart is as essen- tial to the 'music performer as the Essays in Musical Analysis is to the music listener, espe- cially insofar as early music is concerned: Music, by its very nature, cannot be communicated directly; a performer, and an instrument, always stand be- tween the printed score and the listener. With the performer lies | the responsibility and task of giving life to what the com- poser has written. "A written text must never | be regarded as a dead lab-| oratory specimen; it is only | sleeping, though love and time | will be needed to. awaken. it. | But love and time will be wasted | without a sense of tradition and of historical continuity."' This should be read by all who per- | form anything dating from be- | fore the nineteenth century and | will also give much pleasure and | enlightenment to those who merely listen.

Anyone for 'Mozart The Swingle Singers | seem to have started a trend, to | "jazz up" the classics, using | voices in place of instruments. |Johann Sebastian Bach was known to have habitually used music of his own and_ other people's composition for his im- provisations, them in quite different context. 'If Bach so freely "modernized"' the work of other people, and his own, it is not entirely out of order for modern musicians to do the same with the music of | Bach, Mozart, and others. It's interesting, but the Swingle | Singers' "bippity-bop-bip" can | become monotonous after a | while. The Jacques Loussier. Trio | Play Bach Jazz.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Prince, a collie-airdale, and Tiny, a fox terrier, who inherited the income from a $79,075 estate for life must pay their taxes totalling $793. Judge Thaddeus V. Adesko, in a circuit court hearing Tuesday, ruled that the dogs must pay because they are not related to their late master, Joseph Platchy, of La Grange, Ill., and that, despite Platchy's will pro- vision, humans. will divide the principal after the dogs die.
