 The Mid-Winter Concert present. ed by the Sitka Public School on Tuesday evening at the school gym drew a large and enthusiastic crowd The audience was so much larger than anticipated that doz- ems were forced to stand, but re- mained to the end
 The advance made by the stu dents under the direction of Thom- as Jones was truly impressive. The great majority of students were playing instruments for the first time, but the fact was not evident.
 Also appearing with the students in two choral numbers was the Woman's Chorus, directed by Mir Jones. They are members of the musical department of the Sitka Womans Club, headed by Mrs. Roy Avrit.
 The students appearing in the concert looked as lovely as they eounded, the girls in tormals and the boys in dark trousers. white shirts and dark ties.
 Comments heard from the de- parting audience were all enthusias- tic and flattering. The school mu- sic department has always been eX- cellent, but this years band and orchestra are outstanding
