Chorus to Give
Lenten Cantata

A Lenten choir Cantata, "The
Seven Last Words of Christ" by
Theodore Dubois, will be present
ed by the Marysville High School
Chorus on Thursday afternoon in
the Methodist Church. The ser
vice will begin at 2:30 and is OPP
en- to the public. There are 80
voices in the High School Chorus.
Donald Euverard is the director
and Miss Joyce Foster the ac-
companist.
THE Seven Last Words of
Christ" is perhaps the most pop
ular of all Lenten Cantatas. 1t
was first performed in Paris on
Good Friday of the year 1857
Since that time it has been trans
lated into many languages and
sung all over the world. The Can
tata very vividly portrays Christs
last spoken words, the mocking
and jeering of the crowd around
the Cross, the earth quake and
finally the realization, for those
at the Cross and of us today, that
this was really the Christ cruci-
fled for the sins of the world.
Solo parts will be sung by
Margaret Reams, Peggy Dow,
Nancy Graves, Rosemary Avery,
Kenneth Scheiderer; Bill Palmer,
Jon Greeneisen, Charles Geer,
John Schwartzkopf and Bill Nc
Carthy.
Mrs. Richard Fox and Miss jean
Graham will present organ-piano
duets proceeding the Cantata.

what you go to school for. But if
you are fortunate enough to par
ticipate in sports, you will be
better off for the opportunity"
The popular young mentor,
himself one of Ohio States all
time football and basketball
greats, cited five ways in which
athletics contribute TO a persons
all-around development:
Five Athletic Helps
/. Cooperation: The first eS-
sential in winning games is team
work and it's characteristic which
is equally important in every day
life.
2. Competitive spirit: A boy
must develop this to win a place
on a team, and the same force
will help him get ahead in busi-
ness.
3. Sportsmanship: 1t has a def
mite place in the every day world
as well as in games. Coach Dye
expressed regret that good sports
manship seems to be less notice
able than it used to be and COM
plimented Union County highly
upon having a SportSmanship
contest in connection with its
athletic program.
4. Good living habits: plenty of
rest and the right kind of hours.
5. Good eating habits.
