At 4 p.m. in the high school auditorium some 125 voices partic ipated in a “Festival of Song,” and kept an audience, not half large enough, abundantly entertained for a brief hour. Russell J. Barrow, one of down river's foremost tenors, was guest soloist on the program. Little need be said of Barrow's voice, so rich and resonant, and his words as plain as print. His group of old familiar songs, “The Prayer Per fect,” 'Mighty Like A Rose' and That Wonderful Mother of Mine” were truly enjoyed. The extremely effective part of his program was when he appeared in the back ground of the combined Girls Glee club and carried the tenor in Ed ward Purcell's “Passing By." The entire program was care fully chosen to give contrast, and as one listened to those well traihed youthful voices there seemed to be almost a definite per fection in some of the compositions. An impressive conclusion was ex hibited in John Aldeh Carpenter s cantata, “Bong Os Faith.” The voice of Washington was presented by Ralph Briscoe, the trumpeters were Gary Grady and Robert Graves. John Chesney was the drummer. The accompanists were Patricia Brown, George Keough. Ann Schu bring and Jean McChirg. The Boys’ Glee club merits spe cial mention, for the remarkable way they sang ‘ De Gospel Train ", a negro spiritual, and Sigmund Rombergs ‘Stout Hearted Men.” The program was opened with the Festival mixed chorus singing ' Ode To America” by Noble Cain, and “Oklahoma” by Richard Rogers.
