LETTERS May 9, 1967 Wakarusa, Ind. Nappanee Advance-News To the Editor: Although it is true that there are only 674 students in the Prairie Heights school this year, the size is Still comparable to what the proposed Wa-Nee School was announced to be. On Saturday I asked a member of the Prairie Heights School Board several questions:

Q. What is the peak capacity of your new Junior-Senior High school? A. 1200. Oh, I suppose it would be more comfortable with only 900 to 1000, but it was built for a peak capacity of 1200. Q. Why didn’t you build an auditorium? A. We visited several new schools with auditoriums. They are used so seldom, and cannot be easily adapted to any other purpose. We do have stages in both the cafetorium and gym. Auditoriums are so expensive.

Here are two questions for our Wa-Nee School Board: 1. H the proposed Wa-Nee school is built, how much additional operating costs will be required to staff |t, hpat it, light it, cool it, and transport pupils to it? 2. If annexation goes through, Won’t Nappanee have two new schools and leave the rest of the corporation with high bills and old run-down buildings? Sincerely, v Ralph E. Bell Strictly Personal | D.E.N. We've always preferred Walter Cronkite to Huntley and Brinkley, but lately we've been wondering if Eric Sevareid has a large block of CBS stock. He always is called on for a commentary, and that's a good time to get a drink of water. ★ ★ ★ The Advance-News has had ,* six year policy against selling advertising with our senior pictures, basketball, etc. Ad salesmen from other areas always appear to hit our poor merchants on such an occasion. ★ ★ ★ When you hive high schoolers, May gets mighty busy. There's sports banquet, class night, commencement, etc., which leaves everyone breathless. ★ ★ ★ Invited to a special State Department briefing in Chicago Friday. Ambassador Goldberg will be the featured speaker. Have invited Dr. and Captain Kendall to go along. ★ ★ ★ We rather thought we were being had on our flying saucer pictures, but as a critic once wrote, "anything to fill up space." The Wakarusa Tribune rejected the story when they detected a sly grin on the face of one of the boys who came along with the photographer.

A Pleasant Trip Back Through 3 Decades Friday The Nappanee High School chorus groups took an overflow crowd through three decades of hit songs Friday night. The effect was one of nostalgia for some good entertainment for all. In 1940 and again in 1945, when Cole Porter and Irving Berlin were still going strong and when Frank Sinatra was at his peak along with such people as Helen O’Connell and Jo Stafford, it would never have been predicted that twenty years later, “It’s a Big Wide Wonderful World” and “Cruising Down the River” would be regarded as hits, but they were beautifully done by the concert choir as was the old favorite, “Once in Love With Amy” and a medley from “South Pacific.” The section on 1950 was highlighted by the Bth grade chorus which performed two selections from “The King and I” and a particularly appealing “Hey There” done by Judy Browne, Genie Yarian, and Jane Stump. t A commentary on the times would be that America’s music has slipped from Rodgers, Loesser, and Bernstein down to the Beaitles, who rated two “’hits” in the last decade. But the Bth graders again came through with the itheme from “Exodus,” and the concert choir filled the hall with melody of “Somewhere My Love.” The music from a recent motion picture, “Born Free,” done by everybody, offered a fitting climax to an enjoyable concert. There was a charming informality to the dress and attitude of the young people which put everyone in a relaxed mood with simple but effective backgrounds for each decade. Under the able direction of petite Ruth Pancoast, each group demonstrated excellent training and mastery of basic technical fundamentals. It’s good to know so many young people in Nappanee have the opportunity to know and study good music.
