Community Orchestra of Ann Arbor
and  Guest Soloists  Coming
Saturday, February 24.
The Ann Arbor Community Orchestra, of some 30 "players, will give
a concert program in the school
auditorium Saturday evening, Feb-
■ruary 24, at S o'ciockv
Reorganized a few years ago from
the nucleus of a previous Methodist
church orchestra, the group has for
its purpose and function two general*
aims: to provide an opportunity for
musically inclined Ann Arbor, resi-'
dents to job*, and engage in musical!
recreation aid training" and to make,*: *
g6od music available to other worth*
while .community organizations and?
projects at a minimum of expense.    ,
During the past two seasons the
orchestra has presented concert programs, in addition to several in Ann
Arbor, at Petersburg, Hartland,
Chelsea, Ypsilanti and Dearborn.
Auditoriums filled to capacity have
been the usual response on the part
of the patrons; it is expected from
the attractiveness of the program
planned for Saline that the event
will be no exception.
The director is William R. Champion, well known in Ann Arbor for
his instruction, band and orchestra,
work in the public grade and high
schools in addition to his appearances with both the Community Orchestra and the Community Band.
The program to be offered here
iwill be* of the* maximum in general-
community interest and appeal*
There will be probably two. special
features by guest soloists, in- addition to a series of varied and attractive selections by the orchestra..
The program, in detail, with names
of, the soloists, is expected to be announced next week.

; DEMOCRATS TO 7HAV7B BIG
; RALLY TIN ANN ARBOR
j THURSDAY,  7FEB.   22
BY mCODETMUS
Tin spite of the cold and the depression, the seniors had a record
crowd at their play Friday night.
'Judging from the crowd I take it
everyone had an enjoyable evening.
The band concert was exceptionally
good. Miss Wiedmayer's songs and
music, too, were exceptionally good,
judging by tie applause.       ' '*"»'
And of caurse, the play was a
riot. .The greatest amount of credit,
I believe, is due the Melva Janes of
Jean Burkhart and her red flannels,
or* were they dyed hose?
John Burg, too, with his hairless
head, carried liis part very well. In
fact, the entire play was such a success that it is hard to make distinctions.      ■-■-   •
- Now, seniors, you can thank the
town-people for provision for skip-
day;, that is, financial provision.
I thinki it iwas really wonderful,
how you people turned out and sup
ported the play in spite of the severe
cold. I'm sure the senior class appreciate it wholeheartedly. Now,
just before I close on the play, 1
have' a little message the senior
class, especially the play cast, dedicated to their director.
The class sincerely appreciates the
work and discouragements that their
director faced and overcame during
the drilling for "Dying- to Live." Almost the entire responsibility of the
production* rested on his shoulders.
The success of the play was due,'
almost entirely, to the director's
•never-tiring efforts. The seniors of
7L&&4 wish to thank you, one and all,
Mr:: TKalder. The play is over, but
never will it be forgotten.
Now, folks, we can. keep up that
support and give our team a few
rahs. tomorrow night, when we play
TDundee. It ought to be a very good
game* although I would say We
should win by 10 or 12 points.
Dundee, tomorrow night, here.
Next week we have a game all of
you want to see. Milan—here;
right here in Saline, and I'm. telling
you it is going to be a game what is
a game! Judging from the various
teams- scores Milan will beat us.
TBut we don't do business that way.
We're out for blood and TMilafl, is going to get a beating as no rug ever
got. *.   :

LODI TAX NOTICE
It's great to be a Senior,
*' To*'pe top-notch in the school;
To have the rest look up and shiver
While you Seniors play "big fool."
How fast the days slip by,
With thrills and deep regrets;
How Cast  the last year goes,
It's bliss we ne'er forget.
You happy, laughing Seniors^
•Smooth as Barker Quink;
Your play's been one great big success,
But do you ever stop and think;
Of your classmate by the wayside?
Do you think it's any fun
To lie down so near the end,
When the battle's nearly won?
I know with this recalling, friend,
You'll stop, think and regret,
And   your    feeling   for    your   classmates
You will not so soon  forget.
When you've sailed a landless sea,
Eighteen years in all,
When, at last you see a harbor light
. Wouldn't   it   be    discouraging   to
fall?
As the gangplank slowly lowers
To take   you from .the   years of
. strife,
How disheartening   it "would   be  to
sstumble
And have to struggle for your life.
Up above you dimly see
Your skipper and your mates,
Each their own way slowly trodding,
For no one this old world waits.
Ea"h day the "time ship" moves
Farther out to sea,
Leaving it? lone mate in the water.
His place, friend, do you envy?
Of course you do not, friend,
TBut linger on your way.
Pray for his return,
God  will • reward    you   I'm    sure
some day.
The tide is slowly leaving,
We'll    soon   have   our   friend   to
shore,
To go on thru the path of life,
j     And to leave it never more.
We're praying, hoping,  waiting,
We    Want   your   company    once
again;
We're    right     outside    your     door*
Leonard,
We'll come up, you just say ..when.
Our dreams are ever for you,
We're fighting with you, Boy,
And when you come back, old pal,
Life again will hold its joy.
