Old tales with a modern twist is theme for Milford students

The Milford junior high 7A students language arts have been reading old Greek stories. One of these tales tells how a boy named Phaeton begged his father. Apollo, to let him drive the sun chariot around the world for one day. Apollo knew he should refuse, but. like many parents, gave in. His son was killed in the episode. Mrs. Dorothy Williams, language arts teacher, asked each student to pretend to be the child of a famous parent, and like Phaeton, make a special request. Here are some imaginative themes: By J I’Ll A RHODES My name is Julie Arden. Once I asked my mother. Elizabeth Arden, if I could do Mrs. Nixon’s hair. After a while she decided she would let me do this. So the next day I was all ready for our regular customer. The President’s wife. Mrs. Nixon, wanted a permanent. The directions said to leave the solution on the hair for 30 minutes; so I went to get a quick lunch. By the time this was over. I had forgotten about Mrs. Nixon and had gone shopping. After a couple of hours I remembered, rushed home, and took out the curlers Guess what? Her hair sprang out in every direction. Boy was she mad! I was just lucky she didn't take my mom to court. She did tell her nevernever to let me give another permanent. By KELLI PRICE My name is Kelli Saud. My father is King Saud of Saudi Arabia. We’re vary rich. Our country has hundreds of oil wells.

This will be followed by, "Flamingo Trumpets,” which features a trumpet trio consisting of Tim Hamman, Steve Badskey, and Jane Helvey, who are all freshmen. The cadet band will then play, "Mini-Suite,” a serious number by Morton Gould, a famous American composer.

stingy, but Dad says we just keep what’s ours. Dad doesn't like for me to have anything to do with running the wells, but yesterday I told him I needed experience because after he was gone, who’d take care of things: Finally, he said he needed a day off anyway, and he and mother would go visiting. My day started off badly with what seemed like hundreds of visiting ambassadors. About noon I was finished with the business calls. Then it was reported that someone had just burned up 100,000 barrels of oil. The well workers got angry over something, and we just missed having a riot. When dad came home, he knew that never again would I ask to run the oil wells. By MELISSA TOM I’m the daughter of Golda Meier, who used to be Prime Minister of Israel. One day I asked her if I could rule Israel for one day before she resigned. She told me it was a foolish request because I was too young to rule a country. The next day she was sick; so I asked her again. Her answer was a Flat “NO”. I kept begging, and finally she agreed; but she said, “You may have one half hour at this business." Well, I went to her office and sat in her chair. Nothing happened for 10 minutes. Then the phone rang. I anwered it. Guess who it was? President Nixon! He asked for Golda, but I told him I had 20 minutes to rule. He laughed and said. “OK.” Then he started telling me all this stuff that was too difficult for me to understand; so I said, “Forget it.” I called my mom, and never have I asked to rule again.

featuring a tenor sax solo by Debbie Clayton, "Jump for Jenny,” “Movin’ Up,” and “When The Saints Go Marchin’ In,” featuring a trumpet solo by Terry Baldwin. The concert band will perform a program of great variety, with something of interest to all people. “Winds on the Run”, a number featuring the flute section will start this portion of the program. Next the band will play, “Overture in Bb”, a serious and difficult concert work for band by Caesar Giovannini, a contemporary composer. Becky Replogle will be featured as flute soloist as she plays, “Sonata in A Minor,” a piece written in the 1700’s during what is called the baroque period. Next the band switches to popular music and plays a medley of songs by the Carpenters. A novelty number, “Basses on the Roof.” featuring seniors Mark Reiff, Doug Brown, and Jeff Miller, on bass horns promises to be extremely funny and entertaining. Finally, the concert band will perform selections from the hit musical, "Flower Drum Song.” After the recognition of the 26 seniors in the band, both bands will combine in a salute to the American way of life as they perform, “Proud Heritage," a concert march by William P. Latham. The public is cordially invited to attend this evening of entertainment and variety in band music. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Seiffert of Lake Wawasee have returned to their home here following a winter stay at Clermont, Fla., and guests last week were the Louis Siri family of Shorewood, Wis.
