Still others, like Tyrus Gillam, gave their ta- lents. Tyrus played piano for the Excelsior Hotel in Little Rock. The similarities of year-to- year events lent security and stability to the year, but stu- dents found, too, that the un- expected added to the inter- est of their school days. l , 11 Opening
