Seven mem- bers of the graduating class of '31 will present an entertainment at the school auditorium tomorrow night. Several of these are prominent on the stage, while others are noted in vari- ous lines. Don Peiffer, soloist and violinist, and James Kurtz, accompanist and blues player, will display their music- al ability. Both are members of Don's Collegians, now playing at the Greater Hotel Gibson in Cincinnati. This jazz orchestra will soon travel to Chicago. William Stuck and Doris Riggs, each accompanied by Dorothy Ste- vick, will give several solos. Miss Riggs is an opera singer in New York and welcomes the change in atmos- phere. Music is just a hobby to Mr. Stuck and Miss Stevick, the former being a prominent chemist, and the latter a social service worker, both of San Francisco. The acrobatic end of the program will be furnished by Allan Dunker, midget in a side show at Atlanta, Ga., while the dramatics will be upheld by Robert Schreiber, famous Broad- way actor. It will be remembered that these people frequently displayed their tal- ents while still in school here, and many townspeople are anxious to see what improvement has been made since then.
