The presentation of Mme. Mar-

new high school Tuesday night
was attended by a large and most
appreciative audience.
The Chorus was brought to
Yoakum by the Stephen F. Aus-
tin grade school and lovers of
good music have been loud in
their praise of this most unu-
sual and exceptionally brilliant
program, classed as the most out
standing performance presented
in Yoakum in many years.
Mme. Slaviansky presented a
chorus remarkably well trained
and one boasting of some of the
best voices ever heard in this
section. The control of the vol-
umn and tenqio held the large
audience spellbound and the rapt
attention indicated the apprecia-
tion and interest of all present.
