"Its absolutely miraculous what
kids of high school age can do
if given the opportunity. A tew
years ago we had come to the
conclusion that we had little or
no talent for music in.our local
schools. Now we hasten to cor-
rect this conclusion by chastis-
ing ourselves and the rest of the
adults of thi^ school district for
not giving our children an op-
portunity. This week the public
heard Crosby ton's school bands
in concert, and Wednesday the"
Lions Club heard" ; the - High
School Choir. We're not likely to
be . contradicted when we say
that the progress "of both these
groups is astounding and that
Crosbyton can be justly proud of
its school music program. Due

Remembering names is an art
Politicians cover up a multitude
of shortcomings by their ability
to remember the names of peo-
ple they meet. Big men bolster
average men's ego and make
iriends for life by remembering
names of those with whom they
come in contact. Business men
develop business with'the ability
to remember the names of cus-
tomers they have met only once
before. But alas and alack! We
have not- acquired the art. We
are embarrassed quite often by
failing to remember the name of
a person we have known for
years. Its not that we don't know
these people—when we must
think of a name real quick we
—the name just won't appear.
We can meet the guy oil the
street where there is no compul-
sion to remember that name and
it comes to us immediately. Like
the "Man on the Street"' of TV
fame, its a wonder we can recall
our own name at times. Talking
this over with other people, we
find we're not- alone in being
unable to recall names, however.
If its a psychiatrist we need,
the doctor's office is going to be
mighty crowded.
