the music department. Five of
the numbers will be done by the
* massed choruses of participating
schools at the annual Music Fes

orage April 26 and 27: These num
bers were “O Eyes of My Belov
ed” by Orlando di Lasso; “O
Bone Jesu”, Palestrina; “Ride the
Chariot, a spiritual arranged by
W. H. Smith; “When Rooks Fly
Homeward,” by Arthur Baynon;
and “Bom To Be Free” by R. E.
Williams.
Other numbers presented by
the chorus were “Listen to the
Lambs” by R. N. Dett and “Climb
in’ Up the Mountain”, another
spiritual arranged by Smith. The
girls glee club presented Richard
Rodgers “You’ll Never Walk
Alone” and “Can’t Stay Away”,
a spiritual by Noble Cain. Ac
companists were Betty Schaefer

drum corps presented a stirring
exercise of precision drumming.
Itie Pioneer Band program

rector” by F. E. Bigelow. Mem
bers of the majorette corps per
formed baton twirling during this
presentation which was followed
by Harold L. Walters “Night
Beat”. This number, presented
during the Concert Capers earlier
this year, was repeated by popu
# lar demand and was again well
received by the audience. A med
ley | of square dance numbers,
“Huskin’ Bee” was presented by
the band. This also is a Harold
L. Walters number. “Barnum &
Bailey’s Favorite March” by K. L.
King was followed by Fr. von

ture”. The final number on the
concert program was “Tanana
March”,, written by H. Lee Plum
bley, band director. This was the
first time this number had been
presented to the public and was
very well received. These num
bers will be played by the band
during the Festival, including the
“Tanana March” which could well
become a favorite of both bands
and audiences.
The chorus and band presenta
tions last Friday were the last
local presentations for this school
year. «££

How many hours do you spend in your car — c x'
f,um work, visiting friends, shopping, pleasure-? , ^
America moves on wheels. The family car r. • ' / c
part of our daily life as the kitchen range. So, < it U - 11 as
many do — during spring clean- *
ing time. And remember polish
ing and shining the exterior of
your car is hardly enough. Car
interiors get much more wear and
tend to deteriorate much more
quickly than the outside.
Here are some spring dress-up
tips from Rayco, the nation's lead
ing organization in manufactur
ing and installing auto seat covers
and interior fittings.
1. New custom-fitting seat covers
are available that are as smart
and as sturdy as those found
inside the latest automobile
models rolling off the assembly
lines.
2. Choose seat covers that harmo
nize color and design-wise with
the car’s exterior color and in
terior upholstery.
3. Keep away from garish con
trasts and startling tones.
4. New fabrics developed for seat
covers can also be used for re
covering worn arm-rests to
match or contrast with the color
of seats.
o. Latest innovation is the clear,
vinyl plastic seat covers. These
plastic seat covers have full
e’arity, so that the color, weave
and texture of your car’s fab
rics can still be enjoyed. They
are custom-fitted to give needed
protection to every inch of up
holstery, and are simple and
practical to keep clean. The
clear Yinysan is easily cleaned
