were completed in a little over an
hour. They went smoothly and with
out delay. This feature added much
to the enjoyment of the program. The
singing was accompanied by an organ,
a piano and an orchestra, which added
much to its effectiveness. Programs
were distributed with the names of the
songs printed on them.

sung, large American flag was waved
over the heads of the choir. causing an
outburst of cheering Fred voiland
