MUSICAL FESTIVAL BY
 3O-PIECE ORCHESTRA
 WAS A DECIDED SUCCESS

last Saturday evening. directed b! 10. A. Bronson, drew an audience that packed Redmen's hall. The pro gram as published in last week $ Sentinel was rendered in full and each number received hearty and we'll deserved applause.
 The Community Orchestra" has been most appropriately named as its membership numbers thirty adults and school pupils. The last number on the program. "Woron- kofski," characteristic overture, was composed and the thirty separ- ate parts written by Mir. Bronson. In announcing this number Supt. Gross made the following explana- tion:
 Tn writing this selection the au- thor visioned a ship cruising for ad- venture and being attracted by the peculiar shape of the point known as the Elephants Nose on Woronkof- ski Island, the captain ordered the bugle sounded as a signal for land ing. This called the ships crew to deck. They were very much sur prised to hear in answer to their call, bugle call in the distance Not knowing whether the call came from friends or enemies they ap- preached very cautiously, made thei. landing and stole up quietly to listen to the music of the strangers who were playing something on the order of folk songs. Suddenly they heard rumbling noise which they felt was warning. Quietness prevailed and while listening to see what might happen they heard a continu- ation of the same music as before. At the close of the folk song came a love song which bore a close resem- blance of The Alpine Maidens Dream Songs. This was followed by male bass solo, followed again by that rumbling noise. To their surprise this music came from tribe of Indians who made it known that the new visitors were near. The visitors were surrounded and invited to take part in the feast which they did. After the feast was over the visitors were escorted 10 their boat and made a happy depart ure while all joined in the music
 Just before the close of the pro- gram Supt. Gross stated that when the entertainment was first planned it was intended that the money rais- ed would be used to buy music but since the plans for the school meet had been changed more money would be required than if the meet had been held in ketchikan as was originally planned. Therefore it had been de- cided that the net proceeds would be turned over to the Pr. A. to help defray the expense of sending dele gates from the Wrangell school to the meet at Juneau
 After the entertainment was over and all expenses paid the sum of s2l was turned over to the Pr. A.

BENEFITS HELD TO SWELL
 SCHOOL MEET FUND

To meet the expense of sending contestants to the Interschool Meet which will be held at Juneau next week instead of at Ketchikan as first planned, the Wrangell PIT. A. staged two benefits during the past week. The first was Food Sale and Tea held last Saturday afternoon in the Patenaude building. All of the cooked articles donated found a ready sale and the tea was well patronized. Cash donations were also received from many of the townspeople and the use of the build- ing was given rent free so that the sum of s5760 was realized. A group of upper grade and high school girls assisted the committee during the af- ternoon.
 The second benefit was the de- clamatory contest Tuesday night at the Redmen hall. While all the re- turns are not in, about s35 will be cleared from this entertainment. The Community Orchestra turned in to the PIT. A. treasury something over s20 as their donation from the proceeds of the Musicale given Satur. day night, thus swelling the amount on hand to more satisfactory propor- tions.
 The plan of the local delegation according to information received yesterday is to leave on the Alaska Monday and a message received today from Ketchikan states that the Ketchikan delegation will also go on that boat. The local contestants are paying five dollars each toward the fare and the Pr. A. is paying the balance of the fare and the meals at Juneau. Rooms will be furnished the contestants there and a refund will be received by each school repre- sented when the expenses have been met.
