Although all numbers presented ; by the Little Symphony in its an nual appearance in Carteret coun ty were beautifully executed, none excelled the brilliance of Bobby Morris's solo. Allegro from the concerto in D minor by Mozart. The 17-year-old high school stu de it, Carteret county's foremost musician of all time, displayed i mastery of the piano, expert con trol, poise and brilliance that many ; older professional pianists might | well envy. The only criticism heard was the I query: "Why didn't he play more?" Native of Atlantic The young pianist is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Morris of At lantic and was scheduled on the Carteret county program by special request of the local committee. The program opened with the symphony in C major by Bizet, composer of the opera, Carmen. The symphony was written in 1855 when Bizet was 17 years old, but was lost and not re-discovered un til 1935 when the score was found in the National Library of France in Paris. Benjamin Swalin, conductor, who gave a brief history of the work before it was played, said it | is possible that Bizet never heard I the symphony performed. Schubert-like Melodies "The buoyance and exuberant melodies remind us of Schubert." commented Mr. Swalin, "and this symphony shows the permanence of music and the fact that it is an international language. Here, al most 100 years since it was writ ten we are playing a work that has become a favorite." Although applause between i movements of a symphony is jtrowned upon by many conductors, ^r. SwaliQ graciously acknowledg ed the appreciative demonstra ! tions from the audience upon the conclusion of each portion of the symphony. Soloist Appears Lights were dimmed and the j grand piano placed downstage for the solo number. Mr. Morris's appearance on the stage was met with loud applause which wts greatly surpassed as he completed his number. The audience called him back three times, urging in vain for an encore. After intermission, the orches tra played the light and lovely ballet music from William Tell by Rossini. Beautiful solos by the woodwinds were supplanted in the next number by the string choir in Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes, arranged by Pochon. ; Instruments Demonstrated Mr. Swalin, before conducting Sheep and Goat Walkin' to Pas ture, requested members of the orchestra to demonstrate various . instruments. "... in an effort," he explained, "to break down that barrier which exists between a performing group and a listening group . . . and also to make an orchestra more understandable to ' some of the adults who arc as un familiar with these instruments as I Robert Morris arc many of our school children." The first demonstration was on the double bass, the big violin a person plays while standing up; next was the viola, "the alto voice of the string choir," then the bas soon. the bass of the woodwind choir, an instrument invented in 1536. A tune was then played on the clarinet, which Mr. Swalin said, dates from George Washington's time, one of the most modern of the instruments; the oboe soloist performed, preceded by the con ductor's comment that the oboe was known in Grecian times but has been improved in recent years. The flute wa* played, this in strument also one of ancient times, followed by a few notes on the French horn, related to the hunting horns of France and dat ing back to the Renaissance. The trumpet was demonstrated. Mr. Swalin explaining that this instru ment wan Known to the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. From the percussions the xylo- ! phone was beard, then the celesta, , a new instrument to the Little Symphony, was demonstrated. The j celesta, an instrument related to ' the bells but having a keyboard, was invented in 1886 Mr. Swalin related, and is used to obtain un usual effects, it was first played in 1891 in the performance of Tschaikowsky's Nutcracker suite ! Almost everything in the or chestra was put into play in Sheep j and Goat Walki ?' to the Pasture. Turkey in the Straw left nothing to be desired from the foot tapping angle. The former was composed i by Guion. wtio arranged the latter. Mrs. Maxine Swalin made a short i talk prior to the next number. She urged members of the North Carolina Symphony society to at tend other concerts to be given in this vicinity and expressed thanks to THE NEWS-TIMES, the radio station, and Mrs. Uayard Taylor, membership chairmen.

Allen A basketball series unique in high school records will be con tinued at 7:30 to light and tomor S row night when the Morehead City and Southern Pines varsity and > junior varsity teams will square off in Morehead City gym for the 15th and 16th games in a series that dates back to 1946. The series originally began af ter Morehead City was defeated ! by Southern Tines for the eastern Class B championship in 1946. Fol lowing the game. Coach Gannon Talbert of Morehead City chal lenged Coach A. C. Dawson of Southern Pines to a series of games on a home-and-home basis, two games to be played in each town each year. visitors noin r,uge Southern Finos has the edge in games played since 1946 with a nine to five lead. This year when Morehead C'ity played at Southern Pines the local junior varsity woi both Sanies and the varsity teams split their two, Morehead City win ning the first one. 43-36, in an overtime period and Southern Pines winning the second one, 36 34. in the final five seconds of the game. Play in the games is marked by unusually good sportsmanship and clean play. Never has either team won by more than a few points but what is more important is that the players seem to gain more from the game than they put into it. more in the sense that fair play l>rcdominales in every contest. Quotes From The Pilot I Earlier this year when the local team visited Southern Pine? the j Southern Pines Pilot wrote up the : event from their angle. Part of j that story is quoted below: "Coach Talbert himself is always I one of the visiting team's main at tractions. with his sideline antics while the game is going on. He is about the same build as Wake For est's Coach Peahead Walker, ebul lient. flamboyant, and addicted .to eye attracting ties. Like WalKer, he can't sit still but pacep con stantly before his players'/bench, one mome it wailing in despair, the next jumping up and down in jubi lation over an exciting play. When a decision goes against Coach Tal bert 's boys, loud cries of anguish and protests can be heard afar. "However, the visiting mentor knows his basketball. His teams are splendidly trained and play a clean, hard, and fierce, but thor oughly sportsmanlike game while erstwhile enemies become friends as players walk off the court arm in arm. "The teams exchange hospitali ty during the series, Southern Pines boys putting up those from Morehead in their homes and the Morehead boys return the compli ment when tbc Blue and White goes east. It is a great series and both teams look forward to it with enthusiasm which increases each year."
