Another factor that is constant
is the demand for fast music for
dancing. When the beat of this
music changes slightly we have a
new dance. Jitterbug, shag, bop,
cat, etc.
These are the names of music
and dance that are very similar
only changing a little from one
generation to the next. What does
change are the tunes that we dance
to. “Sixty Minute Man” and its
contemporaries have given away to
“Crawling,” and “Forty Cups of
Coffee.”
Jazz is a type of music that is
closely related to the different
forms of bop, but it is different.
While jazz is danceable, the enjoy
ment derived from it is not dancing
but listening.
jazz is the American contribution
to music. African rhythm slightly
civilized is a very good definition
of jazz.
Americans have come to realize

We feel that agreement, pleasant
talk and amiability means they’re
getting concessions; disagreement
in public and loud arguement means
no easy bargains. We’ve learned
that we can’t talk the Communists
into anything.
They’re old hands at talking, de
bating, wheedling, denouncing, ve
toing, even doodling on scratch
pads for hours ; but not giving in.
(In the eight postwar years 120
million words have been spoken
with little gain for the West, and
3,802 meetings on major issues have
been held.)
We know the Communist techni
que of alternating peaceful words
and violent actions. Having used
violent action in Korea and Indo-
China, leaving the world anxious
for peace, they are now talking
peace. And, back of this facade,
still the wish to divide the free
world with the ultimate hope of
dominating it.
Yes, we know a lot more about
Russia’s strategy than we did when
Berlin was last the center of world
speculation . . . World War II.
Perhaps since “experience is the
best teacher”, Berlin this time
won’t be another Potsdam, Yalta,
or Teheran.
Even if there are no major ma
terial gains for the West . . . our
new awareness of Communist stra-
victory ... a hot cup of tea to
tegy should insure a diplomatic,
warm the hopes of the free world
and free minded peoples enslaved
in Communist countries, centered
in Berlin.
These dance actors will use music
by Bach and Block; Sousa and
Bartok, combined with sound ef
fects and unique styles of move
ment—all to tell stories in dance.
For human drama and love, there
is a danced story of Jacob and
Leah ; for beauty and brilliant tech
nique — “Rejoice Oh Maiden”, to
Bach preludes; in a contemporary
style and feeling, there is the
deeply moving “Biography of Fear”
in which the dancers employ ' air
raid sirens and jazz music; for
light humor, there is a dance about
a puppet who transforms a foolish
woman into a creature tike himself.

the importance of jazz and the jazz
artists. Fifty years ago who would
have dreamed that the same music
we listen to in jam sessions would
be played in Carnegie Hall?
Jazz artists take a ^ood tune and
bounce it up, down, sideways, for
ward, and backward in their own
particular style. The words and
the notes are just . minor factors
compared to the rhythm.
The United States and other
countries of the world recognize
jazz as “classic.” The jazz stars
have also been placed in the
musical halls of fame. Louis “Sat-
chmo” Armstrong, Benny Goodman,
Gene Krupa, Nellie Lutcher, Fats
Waller, and many others will al

they go the way of “Too Young”
and “Moulin Rouge.”

Like most music majors, Pat
Rainwater of Rock Hill keeps her
self well closeted in Memorial Hall;
but nearly everyone in Clewell has
heard her play “When the Saints
Come Marching In” on her ac
cordion in Davy during “noisy
hour.”
This particular musical achieve
ment was proposed and encouraged
by Pat’s father. Mr. Rainwater is
an avid fan of hillbilly music, and
when Pat was twelve years old, he
gave her an accordion so that she
might learn to play his favorites.
This first accordion was a huge
ivory one weighing forty pounds.
Pat learned to play two sonp,
and took it to camp with her with
the intention of learning ^ more.
Because of the size and weight of
this accordion, Pat became easily
discouraged and finally sold it.
Mr. Rainwater was not to be so
easily defeated! At Christmas of
her senior year, he gave her an
other accordion, as a Christmas and
birthday present combined.
Since she was at Saiem Academy
last year, she had little time for
accordion playing so she left it
home and did not take up accordb’
playing in earnest pntil last sun,
mer.
Pat’s accordion playing is aW,t
completely self-taught. As i,
says, she began from the bottom
“by driving the neighbors crazy"
She Jiad a rather hard time learti
ing since the principal is exactjv
backward to that of playing the
piano.
‘Pat used to stand in the dinin»
room of her home by the hour
looking in the mirror to watch the
keys ,of the accordion as she
played I She says that she has had
one lesson (during Christmas vaca
tion) when she received some help
on her bass and treble clef,
Pat prefers hillbilly and popular
songs, or as she says, “anything
that can be played loudly.” S|,j
says that the accordion is not for
soft music unless the bass is left
out completely. Everyone who has
heard Pat render the old favorites
will certainly agree that she is a
wonderful accompanist for any in
formal singing.
