THIS YEAR WE'RE RE-
LAXING. Instead of an operet-
ia, the Boosters will just do a
variety show. Pick up an act here
and there i. almost anyone can
do something. We're weaving II
into Swiss theme, and we're
calling it "Swiss Holiday
That was the unassuming way
"Swiss Holiday" was conceived
couple months ago, and everyone
in Bluffton knows what came of
it. The high school gym was
packed to the rafters two nights,
so there could not be many who
missed the show. Those who did,
missed barrel of fun and fine
music. Wen trade our TV set
for few good shows like that.

those of the real Mccoy frau "down
home; and to Kay Schumacher and
her always silver-toned trumpet.
The Goldenaires change personnel
from time to time, but never the fine
quality of their work which must
take hours and hours of practice.
Lehman's new Choraliers were a
stage-filling, eye-fiiling soul-satisfy-
ing treat, and the Swiss Male Chorus
lived up to its reputation of some
years standing.
The folkdancers added color and
movement to the show, and of course
it was all done for the entertainment
of the terribly bored American
traveller, Ropp Triplett, who, like the
audience, could not stay that way
long.
HANS AND ALICE GROSS
NECHAUS, the authentic Swiss
yodelers of Wilmont, Ohio, were
also well received by Bluffton
and, we understand, enjoyed
themselves so much that they de-
cided to forego their usual pro-
fessional fees. Incidentally Alice
was trained as an opera singer
and did considerable work on the
operate stage until Hans talked
her into wedding and the Swiss
Cheese business. The couple make
cheese and operate very sue
cessful tavern in their part of
Ohio.

THE OLD ELEMENTARY

built in a far different day than this.
Mrs. Melvina Lewis called our atten-

the old building was actually four
years ahead of the first electric bulb.
And M. M. "Dode" Murray recalls
when Jim Close was janitor and how
he would get on the good side of the
boys in order, to get them each to
carry on armload of stove wood to
their classrooms at recess time. Each
class had its own separate stove.
The wood was stored in a long
wood house on the west side of the
school grounds.
Dode also recalls when the school
grounds were entered by stepping up
three steps and onto platform, then
down three steps. The stile was

NEW YORK-Doxey A. Wilker-
son declared this week that ut is
the urgent responsibility Of the
whole labor progressive movement
now to rise so powerful demand
for outlawing public school segre-
cation forthwith that the Supreme
Court will not dare to come for
ward with a negative or indeciSive
opinion"
Wilkerson's statement refers to
the five school segregation cases
re-argued before the Supreme
Court last December, and is con-
tanned in a pamphlet entitled THE
Historic Fight to Abolish School
Segregation in the United States"
issued during Negro History Week
by the Jefferson School of Social
Science, SIS Sixth Avenue.
The new pamphlet traces the
background of the Negroes strug-
gle for equality of educational op-
portunity, with emphasis on the

MAY BREAK THROUGH

Asserting that the school cases
now before the Court open up the
possibility of "a major break
through in the entire structure of
anti-Negro segregation" Wilker-
son warns against "the highly dan
gerous assumption that all is over
but the shouting" He declares:
This is the time for every de-
mocratic peoples organization in
the country to speak out in sup
port of the historic struggle be-
ing led by the NAACP -. 1t is es-
pecially important for the later
movement and the progressive
white masses now to come forward
in demanding the abolition of jim

The attorney generals office has
ruled That the Department of Elec-
tions is not required to furnish
voting machines for this years pri-

week.
An opinion had been requested

Brewer, about the use of the ma
chimes, authorized by the 1853 Cen
eral Assembly, for the first time.
The opinion was written by Dep
