THE COVINGTON NEWS
gram in our school.
In our school mathematics I
study group book, we are view
। ing geometry from a different
point — the non-metric point.
We are studying lines, points
j and spaces and their properties.
Although the study of non
i metric geometry is very con
i fusing, most of us are enjoy
ing it.
In English, after studying the
principles of a good book re
port, several of us told the
class about our favorite library
books.
During the month of Aoril,
Ficouett School will have Open
House. Indeed of stressing a
school subject such as science
or math, our emphasis will be
on citizenship and good man
ners at school, at homo and at
places of amusement. We have
been working with our princi
pal of ways to improve the
ouality of citizenship. Each
pupil is encouraged to take an
active part in this important
campaign. Everyone is going l
to work harder and strive to
reach the goals set up by the
faculty and students.
We welcome four new nunils
to the eighth grade, Renee
’’ickett, Terry Chanman, Don
Ervin and Ronald Massey.
The entire school is interest
ed in the building of an addi
tional wing for the school. The
wing is to be L-shaped and
will contain six new classrooms.
Everyone will welcome the ex
tra space.
Thursday, February 22. the
Ficquett teams will go to Liv
ingston to play the last game
of the season before the tour
nament. They will be played
March 1,2, and 3.
The beginning of the second
semester marks the last half of
our last year as grammar
school students. We must try
to make the best of it to pre
pare ourselves for higher edu
cation.
Piano Recital at Ficquett
By Gwen Stubbs
February 18. a great pro
fessional musician, William
Haaker, presented a program
of musical selections and com
positions before the E. L. Fic
quett School. To begin the pro
gram. he explained to us the
meaning of contrasts, which is
a vast difference in things or
words meaning something like
opposites. Such are black and
white loud and soft, high and
low, and fast and slow. Mr.
Haaker next played two selec
tions with great contrasts.
He then told us about several
styles of music such as the
echo-effect and crosshand style.
The echo-effect was plaved by
repeating the notes softly on
the harpsichord, which was a
forerunner of the piano. To
day we make the echoes by
using certain pedals. The cross
hands style was one practiced
by Scarlatti. The next selec
tion played was Scarletti’s
“Sonatina in A Major”, using
the echo and crosshands effect.
One of the greatest com
posers in Mr. Haaker’s ooinion
was Frederic Chopin. Chopin
was a Polish composer and
musician, one of the greatest in
his era. Many of our now
popular tunes, such as, “Til the
End of Time” were composed
by simplifying and choosing
certain sections of melodies by
Chopin.
Manv of our compositions
with the sound of fluttering
leaves and howling winds were
composed from hearing tunes
plaved on weathervane harps
as the wind blew through their
harp strings. Another style of
music is that of sounds and
songs of animals, such as. “The
Little White Donkey”, this se
lection by Ibert was plaved by
Mr. Haaker in which the
sounds of a donkev’s braving
could he heard if imagination
was used.
Music form also has a value
as was explained by Mr. Ha
aker when he told how Bach
expressed himself through the
construction and contour of
melody. Bach could also take
a few notes and make an arch
itecture or musical puzzle, as
the selection. “Three Blind
Mice”, which he played in the
regular order and then re
versed order.
Robert Schumann was an
other favorite composer of Mr.
Haaker. Schumann wrote mu
sic from childhood episodes
and story-book memories. He
also wrote manv dreamy melo
dies such as. “Os Strange Lands
and People”. “Curious Story”,
“Traumerei”. and A “March”,
like those Mr. Haaker played.
To conclude the program.
Mr. Haaker played a lively
march by Prokofiev, a Russian
composer. As the concert end- i
ed. I’m sure everyone who at
tended had a much greater
knowledge and appreciation of
classical music.
Commissions are not paid on
arguments won, but on sales
made.
