Music Festival:

Music EeStttdls
On Tuesday evening, May Z, at
8 O'Clock, the music department,
under the direction of Mr.. William
e. Miller will present a festival
in music. In addition to the High
School Chorus and Band, there
will be a representation from each
grade. Because of the lack Of room
and equipment, it is impossible to
have the entire student body to
participate as Mr. Miller had once
hoped to have There will be 215
pupils to participate.
Perhaps our building program
will eliminate these difficulties in
future years.

Four students will represent our

The untidy closet problem is
particularly acute in winter
when boots, umbrellas and heavy

be able to get things completely
out of sight. But here is one idea
that will help make the apart

Make a series Of bins out OF
light plywood and line them up
along the back or side of your
hall closet. A good size for each
bin would be about 10 inches
high and IL inches square.
Once installed, bins can be
used to store different closet
items. One can contain boots and
umbrellas, one cleaning mate
rails, another sporting goods. and
so on.
This way items will be readily

She states: "As the only light
the living room gets is from the
porch, l would rather not use
more curtains. Can you suggest
any other treatment that would
be Interestingly"
We can think of three window
treatments which do not involve
curtains over the window area,
and any one of them can be eff
fective.
One is to mount shutters on
either side of the window. For
best effect the shutters should
be the same color as the window
frame.
Another treatment is to use
ioor-length Grapes hung on Ell
ther side of the window, but not
used to cover any of the glass
area. In this case valance
across the top of the window
helps to tie the color line Of
the Grapes together.
The third treatment. and one
which might well apply to Mrs
A. SIS problem, is to use can
tonnieres. These are also
"around-the window cornices."
Cantonnieres, in fact, consist
Iof a scallopped cornice which ex-
tends down each side of the win

WANT PRIVACY?-We Amer
leans move in cycles so far as
our tastes are concerned. At one
time we rave about apartments
land houses which are so open
that almost all the family ac-
tivities seem to take place in one
big room.
Other times, we seek more pri-
vacy, and there seems today to
be swing back in that direction.
In apartments, that means a
new emphasis on the use of
screens. Frames for a three-fold
screen are fairly easy to make if
you have small saw, hammer
and Screwdriver. And there is a
wide variety of plastic and fabric
materials which can be used to
cover the frame.
Once made, screens can be
used to set off a private TV room
for the children. a reading room
for you, or to conceal the muss
created when you are sewing.
Screens serve another purpose in
apartments. too. They introduce
attractive color. especially in
apartments where the walls are
an uninteresting neutral shade.

They can be used with curtains.
When they have the same color
and pattern as the adjoining
walls. they are quite effective
without curtains.
Cantonnieres can be made Of
light plywood, or even of heavy
cardboard covered with uphol-
stery material or wallpaper. If
you don't want to have them
made professionally, you can find
detailed directions for making
them yourself in do-it-yourself

long quizical look at the pro-

was scarcely what anyone in the
courtroom expected when the
girl had strolled in. insolent and
sophisticated for beyond her
actual IA years.
Her brown hair was done in
grown-up style. Her lips were
heavily rouged. Large earrings
chung to her ears. The dress was
black and form-fitting. She wore
high heels. She was chewing
gum. and throughout the pro-
ceedings studiedly ignored every
one, from mother to judge, with
something of a smirk on her lips.
Late Hours and Truancy
The apparel and the attitude
had been like this for a long
time. the mother explained to
officials. There had also been
late hours and even staying out
all night. Then there was the
truancy from school.
According to the mother, her
daughter would not only disobey
but refused to listen to reason of
any kind. She was completely
beyond parental control, as the
court complaint stated.
In the stiff words of the pro-
baton officer: ''She is not yet
ready to assume her response

will teach her to accept restric-
tions."
So the judges decision was
unwavering.
