A Campus-to-Career Case History
Sir Thomas Beecham
Famed Conductor To Appear Here Feb. 15
Sir Thomas Beecham
Famed Conductor
Will Appear Here
By MUSIC EDITOR
Sir Thomas Beecham, who will
conduct the Houston Symphony
Orchestra here Feb. 15 in White
Coliseum, is one of the great fig
ures of the music world, whose fab
ulous personality is only matched
by his fantastic musicianship.
Sir Thomas, who has developed
a tremendous following on this side
of the Atlantic during the past few
years, will direct only throe con
certs in Texas this year. The Town
Hall staff feels very fortunate in
having him for this program and
making available to the people of
Central Texas this opportunity.
Never a formal-type conductor,
Sir Thomas has the eccentricity of
the English immortals and delights
in living up to his own legend. He
has done what he pleased and said
what he pleased, and, by unortho
dox methods and speech, has ac
complished more for the musical
life of his country than any other
man of his time. He also has
endeared himself to Texas audi
ences through his jokes between
numbers and singing during num
bers.
A man of many talents, Sir
Thomas has written his autobio
graphy, “A Mingled Chime,” which
is an entertaining prelude to seeing
him and hearing his music-making
from the podium.
He has just arrived in New
York, but will be in Houston in time
to rehearse the Symphony Orches-
ti-a there in the typical Beecham
program. He will conduct the or
chestra in Houston Feb. 14, the day
before his appearance with the.
Houston Symphony Orchestra at 8
p.m. here. His other Texas appear 1 -
ance wf]l "be a later one in Dallas
with the''Dallas Symphony Orches

The Air Force introduced Forrest I.
Hurst to communications. In 1953 he
was Communications Officer at Lowry
Air Force Base near Denver, Colorado.
He was partially responsible for the com
munications setup of the President’s
“Summer White House,” and in this
assignment he met members of the local
Bell telephone company.
“The telephone people I met,” says
Forrest, “were always helpful. I con
sidered them the experts. They gave a
very good impression of the Bell System.
So th ree months before I was discharged
I wrote to Indiana Bell for an interview,
and subsequently I was hired as a
Student Engineer.”
Today Forrest is in Indiana Bell’s
Engineering Department, working with
carrier facilities — the means by which a
number of telephone calls can he sent
simultaneously over one circuit.
Forrest is given the basic circuit and
equipment requirements for a job. “My
boss farms it out to me,” Forrest says,
“and 1 take it from scratch.” Forrest
does the complete engineering job. He
writes the specifications, including wir
ing plans and the list of equipment for
the job. Then the installers take over.
“I really feel that I’m contributing
to the telephone business,” Forrest says.
“My wife does too. When we’re in the
car we get a kick out of driving by a
job that I engineered. Nothing can com
pare with a career in a business that’s
growing as fast as the Bell System. It’s
the place to move ahead.”
Forrest graduated in 1952 from Purdue
University with an E.E. degree. His career is
typical of those which exist in other Beil Tele
phone Companies, and in Bell Telephone
Laboratories, Western Electric and Sandia
Corporation. Your placement officer lias riiore
