This was at the rate of from twenty

For the second part of the program
the boys have staged what they de-
scribe as a performance eXtraordi-

show, introducing Ray Petty, Charles
Mills, Stan Mitchell and Verne Rogers
as end men and Kendrick Chamberlain
as inuerlocutor. The boys have ar
ranged four side-splitting stunts that
they say have never before been put on
any stage.
The program will close with a howl

to be an incubator at temperature of
400 degrees. Others wal be ostriches,
