A net profit of approximately
$192 was realized laht Thursday
night by the Parent-Teacher As-
sociation, when around 300 specta-
tors turned out for a negro min-
strel that made quite a hit with
the audience.
Several numbers received rous-

skit reparatee came in for at least
modest appreciation from paying
customers.
Among the hits were young Dale
Robins, singing two A1 Jolson
specialties, Sally Armstrong, sing-
