A report on the importance of the arts for high-school students visits New York's Lincoln Center, where teens participate in an "Essentially Ellington" jazz competition hosted by Wynton Marsalis. Also: WriteGirl in Los Angeles, which pairs high-school students with adult writers; New York City's Urban Academy, where arts are definitely not a frill; and the Summer School of the Arts for high-schoolers at School of the Arts for high-schoolers at Rochester's Nazareth College, which focuses on dance for boys as well as girls. "You'd be amazed how many girls like guys who dance," admits one boy. Adds another: "I like it more than any other sport."
