An accomplished singer but a

That's Geraldine Overstreet, So
prano, who will be heard with Rob-
ert McFerrin, baritone, in joint
recital at Tougaloo College on Sun
day evening April II.
A promising pianist at the age of
six, Miss Overstet had to give up
the instrument because it was too
hard on her nervous system. AS a
child she played anything after
single hearing and composed end
lessly at the piano. However, her
formal piano studies ended with her
first lesson, which so excited her
she went into delirium. The fami-

GIRL SCOUT
NEWS

Never before in the history of
Jackson, has there been such a
need for ways or, means to COM
bat juvenile delinquency among
our girls. We know that the girl
scout program is the answer.
You may ask the question: How
does the Girl Scout Program help
the girls? There are two good
answers to that question:
l. 1t helps girl become a hap,
py, confident, useful member of
her troop, home, school and church.
2. 1t helps all girls learn to
work and play together democratic
ally SO that they may be response
BILE citizens of their community,
country, and world
Now, it is the job of us as adults
to help these aims come true. It is
our job to see to it that our girls
have a good time; learn new
things; have new adventures; live
up to the ideals expressed in the
Girl Scout promise and laws as
best as they can, and do their
share as members of the Girl Scout
organization in the community.
This is an appeal to all minis
tiers, churches, teachers, schools,
clubs, business and professional
people, fathers and mothers, wont
you open your hearts and let the
girl walk in? Won't you circle
them with your strong arms of pro-
lection? The girls need each of you.
Won't you please call or, come
by the Girl Scout office at 725
S. State St. Phone 5-3628, and say
I'm willing and ready to help.
