School Daze
By DAVID MARCUS
An honor student and talent-
ed pianist describes 13-year-old
Rita Sloan of Oak Park.
After 51/2 years of studying
piano, Rita has aspirations of
becoming a concert pianist. A
student of Julius Chajes, music
director of the Jewish Center,
she practices two hours daily
and takes two 45 minute les-
sons each week.
Rita's present experience of
playing in public is limited to
the Jewish Center, Bnai Brith
meetings and accompanying the
eighth, grade choir of her school
in practice and at programs,
but she is planning a recital of
her own in the not so die ant
future.
At present she is working on
"English Suite" by Bach, Leibi-
straurn, by List, and Schubert's
Sonata e in A. Rita is not the
only musically inclined person
in her family, her father studied
violin at one time, and her sister
also studies piano.
