Stravinsky’s “Suite de
U.S. READING LAB will offer a 4 week course in speed reading to a
limited number of qualified people in the State College area.. This recently
developed method of instruction is the most innovative and effective
program available ip the U.S. Not only does this famous course reduce your
time in the classroom to just.l class per week for 4 short weeks but is also
includes,an advanced speed reading course on cassette tape so that you
can continue to improve for the rest of your life.
In just 4 weeks the average student should be reading 4-5 times faster.
In a few months some students are reading 20-30 times faster attaining
speeds that approach 6000 words per minute. In rare instances speeds up
to 13000 wpm have been documented. Our average graduate should read
7-10 times faster upon completion of the course with market improvement
in comprehension and concentration.
For those who would like additional information, a series of free 1 hour
orientation lectures have been scheduled. At these free lectures the course
will be explained in complete detail including classroom procedures, in
struction, class schedule, and a special one time only introductory tuition
that is less than Vz the cost of similar courses. You must attend any of the
meetings for information about the State College classes. The orientations
are open to the public above age 14 (persons under 18 should be ac-.
companied by a parent if possible).
If you have always wanted to be a speed reader but found the cost
prohibitive or the course too time consuming, now you can, just by at
tending 1 evening per week for 4 short weeks. You can read 7-10 times
faster, concentrate longer, and comprehend more, if you are a student who
would like to make A’s instead of B’s or C’s or if you are a business person
who wants to stay abreast of todays ever changing accelerating world then
this course is an absolute necessity.
These special free 1 hour lectures will be held at the following times and
places. State College meetings: Tues., July 20 at 6:30 and again at 8:30
p.m. at the Sheraton Inn. Meetings will also be held Wed., Thurs., and Fri.,
July 21 -23 at the above times and location. Sat., July 24 meetings at 10:30
ta.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Sheraton. Mon., July 26, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. at
the Sheraton.
If you are a bussinessman, student, housewife, or executive this cpurse
which took 5 years of intensive research to develop is a must. You can
read 7-10 times faster, comprehend more, concentrate better and remem
ber longer. Students are offered an additional discount. This course can be
taught to industry.br civic groups at group rates upon request. Be sure to
attend whichever free orientation that best fits into your schedule.

Pulcinella” opened the
performance. The relaxed
atmosphere of the concert
allowed music director
Maurice Kaplow to explain to
the audience the suite’s
Neoclassic (controlled) style,
one which, Kaplow says,
“delighted audiences in past
seasons.” It must have
delighted Wednesday’s
audience too, because they
applauded the selection for
almost a full minute.

suite changed tempo. The
first movements began with a ,
lilting melody by the violin
section, became sweetly,
melancholy, then changed
once more, the notes
becoming sharper and
quicker.
The New York Renaissance
Band, returning for its third
year, featured Renaissance
music and a variety of off
beat instruments. The band’s
portion of the performance
began with a fife and drum
solo by Benjamin Harmes, a

Today the dances are aggressive, athletic,

American Colonial period,
but actually dating back to
Renaissance Europe.
In addition to the fife and
drum as non-traditional
concert instruments, a
tambourine, finger bells, and
various recorders were
played. A viola accompanied
a vocal selection, also an
uncommon arrangement for
the concert. The most in
