prove one of the Fairgrounds at
Prospect Elementary School is ex-
pected to be realized this Spring.

proved the plans as submitted by
N. F. Leist, Assistant to the Su-

Mr.. Leist, explains that much of
the 165x185 oot lot at the corner

Shaw Host
lei Choiirs
Next Friday

For the first time since 1949,
Shaw High School will play host
to all of the other five Lake Erie
League choirs. They are coming
to Shaw Gymnasium on the eve
ming of Friday, March 22nd.
The Lake Erie League Choral
Festival, which rotates from one
league school to another each year,
is not contest but a grand good
time. Bus loads of high school
choristers from Heights, Shaker,
Parma, Euclid, and Lakewood will
begin arriving at the school at
about 2 p. m. on the afternoon of
the 22nd; and from then on, the
buildings on both sides of upper
Shaw ave. won't be the same for
several hours. All the choirs to-
gether will rehearse their joint
numbers in the huge gymnasium
from two until four o'clock, after
which the youthful singers will
DANCE to the music of the Shaw
Rhythm Teens in the gym, or
across the street to the school for
swimming, a movie, or games in
the Cardinals Nest and elsewhere
Dinner will be served to the nearly
800 singers in the Shaw cafeteria
at six, after which preparations for
the Festival, starting at eight
o'clock, will resume in earnest.
1t is customary for each of the
six participating choirs to present
its own vocal numbers during the
first half of the evening program,
after which the massed choristers
Of the six schools join in the pre-
sentation of four concluding pieces.
Two of the six directors have been
chosen for these four joint num-
bers: Miss Margery Shields of the
host school, and Mr.. Sam Taylor of
Euclid.
The other four directors of the
choirs are: Mr.. T. R. Evans of
Lakewood; Miss Lucille Hill of
Parma; Mr.. George Strickling of
Cleveland Heights; and Mr.. Reyn-
old Ellis of Shaker Heights.
Each choir has more than eighty
members, with Euclid's 100 voices
being the largest. Shaw's is next
with 95, followed by Lakewood
with "a, Shaker with 88, Heights
with 81, and Parma with 83.
In planning a program for such
an event as this, special care is
taken to avoid duplication of num-
bers sung by the various choirs.
This is in contrast to the music
contests, where it is frequently the
custom for the various entrants to
sing (or play) the same selection,
to which the judges must listen
all day.
A varied and pleasing program,
however, is assured for East Cleve-
tdIiu llSISISIS at GIC ANCW CIldW
Gym on the evening Of the 22nd.
Songs of many different types will
be presented.
The four joint numbers this year
will be:
With Mr.. Taylor directing: "He's
got the Whole World In His
Hands," arr. Ringwald; "Hosian-
pa," Swedish. arr. Gearhart.
With Miss Shields directing:
Lamb God" Chorale (154O), arr.
F.. NJ. Christensen; "The Day of
Judgement" Arkhangelsky.
Admission to the concert, start
ing at 800 on the 22nd, IS rs cents.
Tickets may be purchased from
members of the Shaw Choir, OF
at the box office.

 The man who named the town of Deering, Slim Rydeen, lives at 71O4 E. Mercer Way, Mercer Is- land, Wash.

Van kert and Harry Olmetz, who had been in the Aleutian chain buy ing sealskins.
 It was the first schooner ever to appear in Kotzebue Sound. Give me the highest lot, and we'll start a trading post" said the man. Rydeen called the new town "Deering," which was the name of the boat. That summer, the three partners went to Candle and were the first persons to rock there. In five days they took out S3,O00.
