liable addition to Drama Club

sy-theme entertainment to be pre
Ken ted on May 11, 8 p.m., in the
Federated Churh auditorium.
The Club is fortunate, also, in

there will be a gypsy chorus and
a group of junior dancers.
At the conclusion of the even

to stay for an informal social
hour and enjoy the refreshments
