offerings being equally divided
between performers of various
ages.
Such a big project as this re-
quires the cooperation of many
people. All grade school teachers,
from the third grade on up, have
assisted in getting the children
there" which is a big chore with
the younger ones. Actual training
of the elementary musicians has
been in charge of Miss Janis Mae
Conklin, vocal supervisor for the
grades, and orchestra leaders Ken
meth Williams, instrumental super
visor and Kirk director, and S.
Robert Fraser, Director of Music
for the entire system and Shaw
instrumental director.
At Kirk, vocal music director
Mrs. Ruth Honess has assisted Mr..
Williams, and at Shaw the choral
work has been in charge of Miss
Margery Shields. Director Fraser
is in charge of overall coordina-
tion of all these musicians, who
will number over one thousand for
each performance.
Elsewhere in this issue of the
Leader" is a rehearsal schedule
and list of instructions for parents
and teachers alike, leading up to
the important evenings when some
of East Cleveland's youngest musi-
clans will be making their first
big public appearance. Better clip
and save this schedule, parents, for
your child's preparation for his
big moment.
Groups performing are:
Thursday, May goth: elementary
orchestra, sixth grade chorus,
fourth grade flutes, Kirk choir,
Kirk orchestra, Shaw girls glee
club, and Shaw band.
Friday, May 21st: "B" band,
third grade chorus, fifth grade
chorus, third grade flutes, elemen-
tary glee clubs, Kirk "a" band,
eighth grade chorus, Shaw orches-
ira, and Shaw choir.
Each family having one or more
children in the concert will receive
one ticket. Although the seating
capacity of the gymnasium is being
temporarily increased, there won't
be any extra space. 1t will be a
ringing time, and one that few
East Clevelanders who enjoy music
will want to miss.

The annual campaign for the

gram to individual and community
health cannot be overemphasized,"
DR.. Winkler says. tuberculosis is
the most important and most cost
ly communicable disease remain
ing"
Chest X-ray discovers tubercu-
losis early when it is most easily
cured, he points out. Furthermore,
as early cases are brought under
medical supervision and treatment,
the danger of these persons
spreading their disease to others
is eliminated.
"A chest X-ray is as easy as
having your snapshot TAKEN" DR..
Winkler says. "For some people,
it will prove the most important
picture they ever have taken, for
it will literally be the means of
saving their lives"
The 5000 X-ray goal is a "a
per cent increase over the 6,447
films taken during the 1853 East

Hats off to the music depart

Kirk and Shaw programs were ex-
cellent, both as to performance
and direction. It's almost amaz-
ing how we'll the pupils perform,
according to their grade.
If you were unfortunate enough
to miss the first two concerts,
DON'T miss the All School pro-
gram next Thursday and Friday in
Shaw Gymnasium. 1t will be an
evening well worth any effort
made to get there.
Do you know an East Cleve-
lander whom you deem worthy
of receiving the Citizens Award
to be granted by the East Cleve-
land Business Association Then
clip the coupon to be found else
where in this issue, fill it in and
mail as directed. ECBA doesn't
want to miss single applicant.
While cleaning up the premises
that belong to you, PLEASE don't
toss litter on the premises of your
neighbors. Really, some spots in
town present a most unkept ap-
pearance-just because we are
prone to be careless. This is a
community job for every child and
every adult to share in. Let's do it.

they cordially entertain their audi
ences, but they spread the fair
name and good fame of Shaw High
School in all their contacts. Pre-
vious to this trip, they made 13
appearances in and around home.
Much of the Rhythm Teens ac-

"What a lot of school news"

there will be plenty of it during

Miss Simmons Is the bright

for big operations after the war.
When the Rank fortunes found
cred, he sold some of his proper

One of these was Jean Simmons.
Rank and Gabriel Pascal, who

and truly she didn't.
The eccentric millionaire kept
her idle for months at a time.
Then, to beat a legal deadline, he
thrust her into three fast pictures
in a row. After a well-publicized
court battle, she won certain con-
cessions. She was allowed to do
three pictures away from RKo-
''The Robe" "Young Bess" and

With her contract coming to q
close, Hughes sold her services to
producer Howard Welsch. Again
she was required to make three
