Patriotic Cantata i Tl-IE STORY OF THE CANTATA The cantnta, Our First Flag, bi Hosmer, was presented by the boys' and girls' glee clubs on February twenty-six. T e story, told entirely in song, centers about the making of the first American flag by Betsy Ross. General Washington, accompanied by George Ross and Robert Morris, comes to Betsy Ross, a seamstress, and asks her to make a flag according to his designs. She agrees to do so but suggests that they use a five-pointed star instead of a six-pointed one. Introductory remarks concerning the cantata were made by Ben Swofford. He announced the names of the soloists with the exception of the name of the one singing the part of Betsy Ross, whom he introduced as one of the leading stars of the Metro- politan Opera Company of New York City. As the final curtain was being drawn, Betsy removed her wig and proved to be Westport Junior's boy soprano, Darwin Bowen. Other principal solo parts were taken by Kenneth Holdren as George Wash- ington, Clark Kidd as Robert Morris, Lester Harding as George Ross. Descriptive so os were sung by Sam Chaney and Jack Korg. The accompanists were Nadine Hancher and Alma Berta Hatten. .. , Ak- az: '. Fl Pri'-I: imlr
