2 T a ftites Prove Instrumental In Solo Contest Taft's man with an ear for music, Mr. Jack Rapier, announces a city- wide instrumental solo contest to be held next week in the city schools. Thirty-seven Taftites who are tops in their particular fields plan to enter. Miss Helen Howe, music super- visor, and Oscar Anderson, instru- mental supervisor, will put on the show, and several musical artists will judge. Chicago seems to be regarded as a separate state in this instance so that winners will be eligible to en- ter the national contest. Playing the trumpet are Milan Mikulka, Charles Clark, John Mag- nus, James Stanton, and Ralph Mueller. Warren Berg, Ed Palifka, and Wayne Parrish will play in the trombone division, while Jean Young, Bill Bornhoff, Calvin Cash, Harry Taft, and Frank Falkenthal will play clarinet. Lenore Duckheisel, Frank Falk- enthal, Bill Bornhoff, Donna. Jane Reynolds, Alice Dolezal, and Jean Beers are wearing out their saxa- phones, while Norm Soderholm, Carl Hagerup, Dick Strass, and Ed Sweeny are wrapped around their horns. Baritone solos will be played by Ed McIntyre and Don Gilmore, and the French Horn by Gerald Tapp, Henry Hand, and Charles Broad. Taft can count on Stanley Logan, John Pokorny, and Richard Stahl to be ready to beat a mean drum. Batons will be twirled by Elaine Geise, Margaret Scott, Pearl Gund- loch, Betty Schultz, and Patsy Earle. Studio Party Needs Talented Particqmnts Calling all talented Taftites! Singers! Dancers! Whistlers! Ven- triloquists! Instrumentalists! This is your chance to air your talents.

Four senior high school students will be selected from the United States to appear as speakers on America's Town Meeting of the Air February 26 with all expenses paid from their home to Toledo, Ohio, the place of the broadcast, and return.
