LOCAL KIWANIS MINSTREL SHOW SET FOR APRIL 9, 10, II

Valley residents and their friends should draw big red circle on their calendars now, says Hugh Johnson, production manager of the 1858 Kiwanis Min strel Show. On April g, 10 and II the local KiWanis Club will stage its annual colorful collection of minstrels and song in the school auditorium.
 Keith Stanton, last years "edu- cated," black-faced Cromwell, is this years producer and writer. Miss Lois Thompson, well-known teacher and vocalist, is chorus director. The entire Kiwanis Club and dozens of townspeople will "get in the act" before opening night, Johnson predicted.
 A sparkling new show is being staged in the tradition of for, mer Kiwanis shows. New cos tunes, curtains and lights are un- der construction and several new acts are being added to perennial lfavorites, he said.
 - f'a Start Rehearsals
 The first rehearsal of chorus numbers for this years production will be held Thursday evening, February 19 at 8 pm. in the music room at the Palmer school. "Any- one who can carry a. note in a bucket is invited" according to Manager Johnson.g All svocalists from past shows are urged to sing again. We hope new residents will come. out and ssget acquaintz ed" said Johnson. Plans call for IA female and 12 male voices for the chorus, plus several speciality numbers. =.

IN SPITE Of ponderous, threatening world affairs, UNI

IN 4 galaxy Of Cocktails, Teas, Lmcheons and parties con

young Aedglings are formally introduced, socially.
THERE WAS a time when only the daughters Of the

pomp and splendor, to the friends of their parents, and thus

these fabulous settings for the dignified offering Of the viz
