Johnston Jr. Hi Goes
Western For Jamboree
Don your western hat and
string tie and head out for
Johnston Junior High Thursday
evening, podner.
From 3 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday,
Johnstonians will be staging a
Go-Western Jamboree at the
school, Wigton and Manhattan.
Fun and games for all includ-
ing cartoon and a merry-go-
round for the small fry will be
provided.
There will be games for the
junior and senior high students
ending with a sock hop at 8
p.m. in the gymnasium.
The drama club under the di-
rection of A. E. Davis wil] put
on a Hillbilly Show at 3:30 p.m.,
6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Everyone swings into action
when Mr. Scratch, played by
“Skipper” Martin, 4713 Holt, in-
vades the mountain stronghold
of the Hatfields and the Mc-
Coys.
While Mr. Scratch is busily en-
gaged in his favorite passtime
of spreading jealousy, suspicion
and greed among these happy
people, the native mountain folk
are just as busy entertaining
their visitor with their songs,
dances, music and antics.
In desperation Mr. Scratch im-
ports a few city slickers to help
him with his campaign. General
Mills, played by Orvis Melvin,
5523 Benning, has his own uni-
que give-a-way show, which
includes a vampire played by
Kilty Toomey, 4001 Woodshire.
Mark Houston, 9725 Basson,
plays the part of little Deutero-
nomy Hatfield. After seeing the
vampire, he is convinced that
“A Boy’s Blest Friend is His Mo-
ther.” The mother, Angelina
Hatfield, is played by Peggy
Harlan, 10305 Cedarhurst.
From here on the plot really
thicken — but we wont’ give1
away the story.
Theme and format of the pro-|
gram were originated and deve-
loped'-by Johnston’s stage pro-
duction class. The scenery was!
designed and built by members
of the class and the Auditorium1
Club.
The songs and dances num-
bers have been staged and di-
rected by Mrs. Beverly Koonce,
1602 Bonnie Brae, and Wayne
Forrest, 4105 Garrott. Mrs. De-
lores Martin, 6854 Leader, as-
sisted with the dance numbers.
The costumes were designed by
Mrs. Betty Hardy, 5339 Willow-
bend. .The program has been
coordinated by A. E. Pavis, 5410
Pocahontas.
Excitement will run high
when Johnston challenges Per-
shing in field events beginning
at 3 p.m. There’ll be hot dogs
and barbecued beef sandwiches
from 3 p.m. on. A spaghetti din-
ner will be served from 5 to
7:30 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
The dinner will include spaghet-
ti, salad, drink and dessert. Price
is $1.25 for adults and .75c for
the child’s plate.
And for those who need
brief respite from the jamboree
excitement, there’ll be dessert
and coffee in the Purple Cup.
Leslie Munson and Wayne
Forrest, band and orchestra di-
rectors, join Mr. and Mrs. Don
Sproul and Mr. and Mrs. Jess
Wiederhold, co-chairmen of the
jamboree, and all their co-work-
ers in inviting one and all to
come enjoy the fun of Johnston’s
big day sponsored by the band*
and orchestra parents. Funds
will be used for purchasing ad-
ditional uniforms and intrru-
ments.
Plans Benefit
The Newcomers Club of
Greater Houston will hold their
annual benefit luncheon and card
party at 11 a.m. on April 26
in the Carnation Community
Room, 701 Waugh Drive. Pro-
ceeds of the party will go to-
ward a scholarship for a deaf
child at the Houston School for
the Deaf.
For reservations call Mrs.
Thomas J. Protho, MO 6-1265,
Happy because they just couldn't
be more comfortable . . . they
just couldn't be better fitted ...

better quality footwear.

FEUDIN', FUSSIN' AND A FIGHTIN'
A "Pasteurizer" (milkaholic content 100 proof) replaces
the traditional moonshine still as a scene of bloody strug-
gle in Johnston's Junior High's version of the Hatfield-Mc-
Coy Feud April 20 in Johnston Auditorium. The shenanigans
will be part of the fun of the Johnston City Jamboree. Here
band members Leonard Lantz, 5323 Willowbend, and- Karen
Bagley, 5322 Willowbend, ham it up a bit in front of a back-
drop for the show.

Darolite:
the warm weather
suit that doesn't need
summer for an excuse
You can wear this suit to the office in any month that has a warm day, without having
to apologize for rushing the season. No matter how you look at it, you can't see it's a
summer suit until you actually put it on. The secret of this 'BOTANY' 500 suit—the
DAROlite—is in the fabric—a blend of Dacron® Polyester Fibre and wool. It has the
body and spunk of a heavier cloth, but not its weight or warmth. It simply means that you
can be comfortable, well-dressed and well-pressed, while other fellows droop from the
heat. Drop in and try it on today.
