loving parents, the band, orches.
ira, and chorus are inviting all
you music lovers to come and
hear what they can do. Tickets
are dollar, with children under
twelve admitted free.
The students hope to raise
enough money to purchase band
uniforms for the school. Without
uniforms, the institution cannot
have a marching band to give
credit to the name of Walter
Johnson.
Mrs. Peggy Oliver, chairman of
the committee of parents who are
working on the deal, tells me
that the PTA has turned over its
entire surplus of the year to help
pay for the uniforms. And the
students have already raised
some modest part of the funds in
previous ACTIVITIES.
This is where we, the public,
get a chance to support the
youngsters who attend this nice,
new, school that the board of edu-
cation built for our tax money.
Hope to see ALL of you there,
especially if your kid'n be at w.
]: next year!
Tickets will be available at the
Junior Highs feeding Walter
Johnson, probably on Thursday
and Friday. But you can get du-
cats at the door, too.)
