the Dig pavilion in the colors of

music during the meal and the Ro-
tarlans sang under the leadership
OF Bob Cahill, chairman of the
music committee.

parodies written by Doc" Shone
which aroused the president to or
der the sergeant-at-arms to quiet
the disturbance. Then it was dis
covered that the singers had taken
the precautton to shackle Nillard

was helpless, so the rioters continu-
end. ~ '"e oi''e'
