Kept on the run trying to fill engagements, playing at programs, between acts at plays, and filling demands for assembly music were the orchestra and ac- cessoriesethe string quartet and duet artists-Peggy Kay, and Bob Barhydt. Mr. Ross Williams, dimunitive but powerful director, kept his group right on top in quality. They, too, were represented goodly well at the music clinic.

The final brainstorm appear- ed in the form of a show, Flying High . The production included a compilation of popular songs into four scenes-Southern, Winter,lndian, and Western. Soloists getting a workoutincluded Bernard Sherman, Norma Lutz, Louise Taylor, Gordon Baugh, and Betty Fromrn. Miss Madge Reynolds was the pilot light of the whole affair.

The congregation at the bottom is the grand finale of the big show, in which they call a halt with I Hear America Singing .
