Spring Concert
We are still having pleasant
recollections of the excellent
spring concert, presented on Tues
day evening, May z, in the school
auditorium by Mr. Miller, director
of music, and 215 of his students.
Every group from the first grade
through the 18th performed pleas
ingly. A clarinet selo by Robert
Lyons, a trumpet solo by Donald
Burris, a vocal solo by Carole
Schulze, and a Bell solo by Karen
Outten of the First Grade were out
standing.
1t is gratifying to hear the band
playing such difficult marches as
Sousa's Washington Post" and
''The ,Thunderer"
The four-part harmony achieved
by the Junior High School Chorus,
too, was remarkable.
The four numbers done by the
Senior High School Chorus of 80
voices were high class and diff
cult We have heard that ours is
one of the best choruses in the
state.
Lack of space makes it imposs-
ible to pay tribute to each group as
/ it deserves.

The telephone expansion program
creates jobs and paychecks
for thousands of Delaware people

1t takes lot of telephone facilities to keep pace
with rapid, statewide growth here in Delaware.
Look at the record. We spent SO million for
expansion in 1856 alone-an average of more
than $4,000 per working day. We have spent
a total of SO million during the past three years.
And we know it will take $39 million more in the
next five years to continue to keep pace with
Delawares requirements.
Expansion like this means employment
for thousands of Delaware people
Such an expansion program contributes great
deal to Delaware's prosperity in terms Of jobs
and spendable income It means regular employ
ment for more and more Delaware men and
