SCHOOL SPONSORED PROGRAMS On September 7, 1951, our high school group hears a lecture by a famous world traveler, John D. Shiraef. He has been a newspaper man, an ex-G. I. , teacher, lecturer, and a specialist on foreign affairs. Born in Philadelphia, but of Russian decent, he talked to us about Russian Communism. Mr. Shiraef has been to Russia on three different occasions, legally and illegally. He was very interesting and told us about Russian homes, the way they made a living, about Russian Communistic rule and compared it with our own homes and country. He certainly made us appreciate the fact that we live in America a lot more. On Monday, January 14, 1952, we were entertained by the Ford Animal Act. It consisted of about eight dogs, two monkeys, doing their special acts, and a goat that walked on a high board. Also the man showed us how to throw our voices and did a ventriloquism act. March 28 we had the pleasure of listening to the Indiana University Symphony Band consisting of 65 pieces. It was conducted by Daniel L. Martino. The bands from Warsaw, Syracuse, Silver Lake, and Mentone were also present to listen to the I. U. Band. They played some delightful music even though the conductor had only Crime Comics to follow on the first few numbers. We all enjoyed their entertainment very much. In the afternoon of March 28, we saw the Cole Marionettes presentation of Aladdin and the Lamp. All the kiddies were very excited to see the genie come forth from the Lamp. Monday, April 14, we saw the Hallelujah Quartette. They gave us a program featuring songs depicting phases of southern life in which the Negro has had a very familiar part. Some of the songs were Play on Your Harp, Battle of Jericho, Ol' Black Joe, Oh, Susanna and many others. Also, they sang popular songs such as Cry and Please, Mr. Sun. Many of the Songs were acted out which proved to be quite humorous. Compliments of THE SENIOR CLASS 6
