Festival last night in the High School Gym to an audience that occupied every seat, chair and bleacher, and standing room was also at a premium.
 Show Beat on the Mississippi was the background a two decker with the forward lower deck clear for the action of the many colorful numbers, all in special costuming The upper deck was occupied by the pupils of the sixth and seventh grades, doing the main chorus work including the opening numbers.
 Each of the thirteen numbers was given spontaneous applause especially those numbers with the snappy tap dancing. All acts were put over with good punch.
 The various numbers and grades participating were as follows:
 "The Doll Show Act" and "Goof- us and Rag Time Jazz Band, second grade. Skip To My Lou and Dark Town Strutters Ball. third grade. Wait for the Show Boat" and Alice Blue Gown. fourth grade.
 "A Pretty Girl is like Melody by the fifth grade; Meet Me In St. Louis" sixth grade, a melo- drama Rolled Again" by the eigh- tn grade, and a minstrel act by the fifth grade that concluded the program.
 Teachers who directed the var ious acts, mothers and others who designed and made the costumes, as well as those taking part, deserve much praise for the fine enter tainment. Of course, those who designed and were responsible for the setting should also come in for little thank you" They helped the scene.
 Members of the Juneau Volua- teer Fire Department were on hand keeping exits free and stairways clear.
