Directed by Miss Loi> Thomp
son and accompanied •»> Miss
Jean Burke, the choius of 36
voices provided good listening for
the audience. Their performance
was n finished one from the j
standpoints of harmony and dis
viplini Despite the fact that they
were outnumbered two to one
the excellent caliber of the rn.de
voices, both bass and tenor, was
particularly noticeable The hur- j

Discipline in the rank.-, of the,
band was apparent on the first;
motion of Director John Zawal-;
nick- > baton. One could almost
hear an invisible sergeant shout
ing "Ten-shum!” Hup. two, three. |
four" as the 35 band members l
lifted their instruments in uni
son and cut off their final notes;
with precision.
Perhaps the best of the gener
ous number of selections offered
to the audience was Chester;
Leoni's" Overture Orientale.",
From the vivid interpretations
given by the instrumentalists, it
appeared to be the band's favorite
also.
Richard T. Baker Anchorage
High School band director, was
present at the c ncert. and grac
iousiv consented to be guest con
ductor for one of the band's sel
ections.
Excellent solo numbers were
presented by Kermit King on th.
trombone. Avis Hubbard Peter
son on the acordian. and James
Joy and Gary Krise on the trum
pet. The clarinet was featured in
pleasing duet by Mary Moore and
Rita Hubbard.
The concert ended in a spectac
ular routine by the talented ma
jorettes with little Muriel Hanks,
a third-grader, keeping up nobly
with the ten big girls. The Major
ettes will have a chance to strut
in routine this week end as they
lead a marching band in Anch
orage. ,
All in all the concert called
forth the pride of all parents am
friends seated in the audiei.ee
the splendid accomplishments -i
represented. _

STUDENT COUNCIL
MEMBERS BARELY
ESCAPE 5NOWSUDE
Student Council rcpre«cnta
tivi*< from Palmer School return
mi: from a joint session with the
Anchorage Student Council bare
ly escaped being buried by i
sn >w slide off Pioneer Peak
shortly after 11 p.m Friday nigh*.
A- it was. their return to Pal
rr T was barred by a bank of
-now about 19 feet high and 300
feet long. A car which was
traveling ahead of Harry Wim
nu-r's apparently got through the
slid.* area before the snow plung
ed down over the road. The
13 representatives and their
faculty advisor had to abandon
th *:r cars and climb over the
snow to the Palmer side where
other motorists trying to get to
Anchorage were also stymied.
Wesley Grover caught a ride as
far as the Matanuska Valley Gar
dens where he was able to get
transportation to return part oi
the stranded students to Palmer.
Others were offered a ride by
Johnny Gore, who was unable to
proceed any further toward Elm
endorf AFB. The road remained
blocked until about 3:30 a.m.
next morning.
There's getting to be too close
a relationship between the auto
mobile and the coroner.
Public Hearings
Assured for Proposed
Army Land Withdrawal
Washington D C—The Interior
Denariment concurred this week
in Delegate K l. Bartlett's icpr*
•entations that public hearing*
■ hould be held before the antici
pated request bv the Department
of the Army for a huge land
withdrawal northwest of Cook
!nlct and Kmk Arm is granted.
It is understood the Army is
considering asking for the with
drawal of some 200.000 acres for
use as r>n artillery range and re
lated purposes.
The Department's views we e
made known in a letter received
this week by Delegate Bartlett
in response to the last of numer
ous requests made by the Dele
gate over tire past several month
that public healings be conducted
prior to definite action on such a
withdrawal.
“I cannot overstate.” Delegate
Bartlett informed Secretary
Chapman, “my continuing re
quest that the views of the resi
dents of that area on the proposal
be made known on the huge
withdrawal through public hear
ings. Aside from all other impor
tant factors involved, such hear
ings would go a long way in clar
ifying a situation so there would
be free exchange of ideas of
mutual benefit to both the public
and federal government officials
involved. I hope and urge that
you do all possible to bring about
public hearings on this issue
when and if the Army ask for
a withdrawal order.”
