The musical phase was conductéd by Mrs. Mary Tich- enor. Visitors included Mrs. Amelia Cabot’s fourth grade from Tru- man school and many parents. Fact arid legénd were’ so inter- woven as to” make the production both instructive and entertaining. The dances were not only colorful but charming. The old ballad “Down In The Di- ving Bell,” which was used in the fection from Junior or Sis, and oftentimes only a smidgin of obedience: It’s a wish of mine that dad’s would be able to express themselves just enough to tell them they’d like only intelligence and a tiny slice of their mother’s beaiity. Also just a little ability someday to protect themselves in the clinch- es. That's what I’d like. x wk * Along with the nostalgia for the old days goes a fervent wish to see more of the old fashioned gardens like grandma used te give such loving care.
