Young Violinist,Aaron Rosand
Presented In Concert Mon.
Aaron Rosand, one of the
world’s most outstanding young
concert violinists, will be pre
sented in the next concert-lec-
ture series on March 8 in the
Laurinburg High School audi
torium at 8:00 p.irL
Mr. Rosand who is now only
35 began his career as a viol
inist at an early age.
Rosand is a most unusual ar
tist in the concert world. He is
that rare creature; a child
prodigy who bridged the gap
from childhood instinct to ma
ture artistry with dignity and
musical integrity. The life of an
extraordinarily gifted child is
not like that of ordinary chil
dren; it cannot be. There must
be days and months and years
devoted to the developanent and
perfection of that talent. It is
rare when that child emerges a
well-rounded, educated, human
being, and the artist that re
sults must be unusual.
He was considered outstand
ing in his field when, at the
age of ten, he made his debut
to the Chicago Symphony Or
chestra. He received his musi
cal training at the Chicago Mu
sical College. Mr. Rosand tour
ed extensively with the Chica
go Symphony Orchestra from
1937 to 1944. He was solo vi
olinist in the orchestra in 1940
and 1944. He toured the Pacific
Theater with the Army Special
Services during World War II.
He made his formal debut in
New York City at the age of
21, and has been a member of
the National Concert and Ar
tists Corporation since 1948.
Mr. Rosand has made nation
wide tours this year; some of
his performances have included
appearances with Thor John
son, Alexander Hilsberg, Wal
ter Hendl, Fabien Sevitzky, and
Thomas Scherman. He has re
cently returned from a highly
successful European tour; he
will return to Europe this com
ing SEASON to make appear
ances in England, Holland, Ger
many, Spain, and Belgium.
The people who are to hear
him are to be envied for they
will be hearing, for the first
time in over a generation, the
glorious voice of one of the
two greatest violins in the
world, valued at $100,000.
Mr. Rosand recently acquired
the Guarnerius del Gesu violin
made in 1741, and known as
the “ex-Kochanski.” This in
strument is closely related to;
the Paganini Guarnerius which |
has been in a glass case in |
Genoa since 18"'0. The two in- j

Striking rod-haired Maggie
MacKay is today announced St.
Andrews’ candidate to compete
with best dressed winners from
hundreds of colleges in the
United States and Canada for
top honors in GLAMOUR’S
“Ten Best Dressed College Girls
in America” contest.
Winning over nine other cam
pus “best dressers” in a school-
wide vote Feb. 19, Maggie has
been photographed in an on-
campus outfit (orange sweater
and beige kuloocs), an off-cam
pus outfit (winter white and
kelly green box suit), and an
evening dress (long red wool
formal).
The pictures of the St. An
drews co-ed and her official en
try form have been set to
GLAMOUR for national judg
ing. The magazine will select a
group of semi-finalists and
from these the “top ten” will
be chosen.
In the spring the 10 outstand
ing young women will be photo
graphed for the annual August
College Issue. The location is
^lill secret, but the editors
promise they will even surpass
the 1960 issue when the win
ners were photographed with
leading political figures includ
ing Kennedy, Nixon, and John
son.
Maggie, a sophomore from
Lakeland,, Fla., transferred to
St. Andrews from Flora Macdon'
aid College. She is social chair
man for Granville dorm and a
member of Phi Beta Lambda
and the Lamp and Shield staff.
A two-year business major,
she plans to enter Powers Mod
eling School in New York, Sep
tember of this year. While she
is studying she hopes to do sec
retarial or receptionist work at
CBS or NBC.
Planning to be a model (ever
since she was able to talk, ac
cording to her mother), the
blue-eyed, 5’8” redhead has ap
peared in several fashion shows
in her hometown.
If the ambitious lass is a win
ner in the GLAMOUR event,
her dazzling visit to New York
in June will be highlighted by
a fashion show at Carnegie Hall
where the ten collegians will
be introduced to over 1,000
members of the fashion indus
try.
Judging by the 1961 schedule,
this year’s winners will follow
a dizzy, but memorable, two-
week pace. In addition to the
Carnegie Hall Fashion Show
the ’61 winners modeled at the
Waldorf Astoria, were escorted
to a midnight supper at the
Waldorf’s Empire Room by
Merchant Morine Academy ca
dets, consumed crag delights
with the president of Lanvin
Perfumes at The Columns, and
went back stage to meet Rich
ard Burton after seeing “Came-
lot” — all in four days time.
The second week was certain
ly no let down. The girls re
ceived gifts of coats or suits,
left Chanel’s penthouse garden
clutching large bottles of co
logne, were Joshua Logan’s
guests at a private screening
of “Fanny." and dined at the
home of GLAMOUR’S editor-
in-chief.
In between, they visited fam
ous New York restaurants and
nightclubs, advertising agencies,
the Mayor’s Mansion, received
more gifts from Dana Per
fumes, Oneida Silver, Perugina
Candies, and still had a few
moments to relax and write let
ters in their home-away-from-
home, the Biltmore Hotel.
