by Mrs. Coral Alexander,
Church organist, won unsup-
pressible applause. The music
Of the Ss6th Quartet, under
Corporal Owens and the trum-
pet solo by Mr.. Lloyd Wright,
well known orchestra player,
left little to lie desired. Those
few who missed the program
last Sunday actually missed
one Of the best programs ever
produced in this city. The 366th
boys, most Of them Southern
ers, offered a rhythmical rem
dition Of such choice Spirituals
as I'm My Saviour's Care" "A
Little Talk With Jesus, and
Standing Beside the Bedside. !"
Mr.. Wright selected for his
trumpet presentation the ever
beautiful Trees" by Joyce Kill
mer. Chairman OF the success
full program was Miss Barbara
LETTERS. Mistress Of ceremonies
was Miss Madeline Digger and
ushers were the Misses Bertha
Puryear and Eunice Mae Har-
ris. Wearing their new Hostess
pins, the girls and chaperones
were all very prettily present.
Delicious and cooling refresh
ments were served at the con-
clusion. Our Hostess Club wish
es to thank all those who aid
ed in any way to make the
program successful.
FIELD DAY
The Fourth Annual Field
Day, sponsored by the West
Medford Community Center
with the cooperation Of the
Trustee Board, Community
Club, Ladies Auxiliary and
friends, was, from all angles,
a tremendous success. Excel
lent weather, intelligent pub
licity and closer cooperation
enabled the varied program of
dancing, sports. and serving Of
food to come out on top as a
credit to the Community Club
and citizens who contributed
support. A brief summary of
the sports events reveals that
a mixed team Of civilians and
soldiers was trounced 1874, by
q hard hitting softball team
representing the a66th Regi-
ment. Battery for the winning
team was Tree-top Manton
and CHI Moslsy, pitching, and
Bell, catching. Soldier boys
then selected q team of girls
and boys and the girs trounced
the boys, 1o-4 with Laverne
pitching and fooling the boys
for most Of the game. Char
lotte Josey, the Isaaes sisters,
and Marjorie johnson starred
for the winners. In the track
event summary, Charlotte Jo-
sey continued TO celebrate by
winning the girls 5o-yard
dash over her chum, Virginia
Isaacs. The boys 5o-yard event
was won by Joseph Tayernese
in q blanket finish with
Michael Snowdon. Little lone
Digger, sister OF Eddie, made
her track debut by romping
away with the girls potato
race. Frankie Rue edged Bobby
Furey in the boys event. In
the senior girls 5o-yard dash
event, Marjorie Johnson won
over her team mate, Kay
Isaaes. Just about everyone
won something in the kiddies'
Treasure Hunt, the first event
on an excellent all day pro-
gram in which swimming was
also enjoyed. Those serving on
the sports program included
Walter Isaaes, chairman, Mr..
Phillips, Napoleon Jeners,
Mabe Kountze, Curtis Fisher,
Trafford Lightfoot, William
