I wonder If every one knows about
the delightful variety programs we
are enjoying these Thursday sum-

There is always a breeze to make
the most oppressive heat bearable.
In case of rain, the show goes on
as scheduled inside the building.

presented by the Roosevelt Mas
iquers. The remainder of the pro-
gram varies from week to week and
includes musical and singing groups
and soloists, comedy skits and q
movie short.

dancing.
