Performance By, Talk On Band
Heard By Anna Frank Members
A program by the high school
orchestra, under the direction of
Alton Roan, was given the Anna
MacArthur's Wife
Said To Be The
Perfect Hostess
Jean Faircloth MacArthur, the
small town gill who became a five-
star general's wife, has , poli-
tician's memory for names and
faces.
But she believes a woman's most
important job is her own home. If
General Douglas MacArthur 1; nds
in the White House, she could be
expected to be even more reticent
about their private life than Mrs.
Truman.
There are two men in her life,
the general she married 15 years
ago, and Arthur, her son, who's
14. She seldom takes part in any
activity that doesn"t include one
or both.
At big social events, the viva-
cious wifet of the general often
stops to greet by name a surprised
guest who has met her only once
before.
"She's amazing," a guest at a
reception once remarked, "she
seems to be everywhere at once,
steering him to people she thinks
he should speak to and yet never
seeming to take over."
The Mat-Arthurs live in a sump-
tuous nine-room suite in New
York's Waldorf Towers. There are
no big parties, although young
Arthur often brings friends honu-
from school.
Her small, trim figure and her
black h;>ir, only lightly touched
with grey, make Mrs. MacArthur
seem younger than her 5-'i years.
Questions about the future bring
from her the smiling reply:
"Well, now that just depends on
the general."

which comes the 14 piece orehes«
tra heard at the meeting Thurs-
day. By their efforts this orches-
tra has furnished themselves west-
ern uniforms and built music
stands, said Mrs. Hagler.
Director Roan then presented
his orchestra in a program of
popular music.
They opened with their theme
song "Wagon Wheels", and fol-
lowed with "A Kiss to Build A
Dream On". «
A trio consisting of three glee
elub girls, Barbara Humphreys,
Eloise Huffman, and Nancy Dun-
can, sang "Whispering," accomp-
anied by the orchestra.
Roy White played a piano solo,
accompanied by Lyndol Lusby on
the drums, and the orchestra fol-
lowed with a medly of classical
numbers. (
The Dixie-Land Band played
"How Can You Do Me Like You
Do". The orchestra did "The Waltz
You Saved For Me". Caroline Mar-
tin, vocalist, sang "Anytime", and
program ended with the Dixie-
Land band again, doing this time
"At The Jazzband Ball".
Members of the. orchestra are:
June Guinn, Jimmy Campbell,
J;jnet Cravey, Barbara Humph-
reys, Doris Watts, Hoy Flournoy,
Michael Hagler, Nancy Funder-
burg, Ned Baker, Lester Harris,
Max Bryant, Terry Tyson, Lyndol
Luhsy, and Roy White.
The Hymn of the Month, "Into
the Woods", was sung by Gae
Yi-ung, accompanied by Mrs. Wal-
ker Castleman.
Frank Artist Club members in
their meeting at the Woman's
Forum Thursday afternoon.
Program chairman, Mis. Charles
Hagler, introduced the orchestra
by briefly telling how the music
education department works in the
Breckenridge schools.
She siud that at one time this
education was a luxury few could
affoid, but now all a child has
to do is reach junior high, Ik- in-
terested, and supply his own in-
strument, unless It is one of the
larger ones owned by the school.
Breckenridge can feel fortunate
in having Roan in charge of this
program, Mrs. Hagler declared. He
will take students who have never
touched an instrument, and after
a few years of training, develop
them into musicians th: .t walk a-
way with many honors and schol-
arships each year.
At a recent music clinic in
Brownwood 'Breckenridge students
took four first and tied for two
others, out of a possible seven
firsts. The competition was among
seven schools.
Each ye;'.r Roan helps students
get scholarships to various colleg-
es in amounts ranging from $250
to $260 per year for tuition and
books, besides travelling expenses.
The students needn't necessarily
be music majors.
The high school marching band
has ; total of 85 members, out ol
Reservations for luncheon at
