Drill Team Starts Work For Festival Every young girl dreams of someday being in a parade or riding on a float or of being crowned a princess. With this in mind, Darlene Easley, 842 N, E, Killings– worth, has organized a girls' drill team which will march in the Rose Parade, The girls meet every Sa– turday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at the Mallory Avenue Chris– tian Church. Mrs. Easley says, "I've always felt and said that our area youth should have more outlets to express themselves more effectively and success– fully." She continued, "Our area has endured hardships that should have been elimin– ated but were not because of indifference and an apparent lack of communication. How– ever, I have found these ob– stacles were of little conse– quence." The small i?roup is asking the community for some as– sistance which is badly needed at this time. They need a loaner record player for their Saturday sessions which could be used from 1:30 to2:30p.m, They also need batons and uniforms. If anyone wishes to contribute to the team, they are urged to contact Mrs. lnnes,1 ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY ...

Since January, a group of s in g e r s, m o st 1 y from churches in the northeast area, have been meeting at Allen Temple Metho di st Church with the purpose of preparing a concert under the auspices of NAACP. The group, as yet unnamed, is directed by Earl Winchester, a teacher at Humboldt school. Because of the lack of voices in all parts - es– pecially the male voices - the concert has been post– poned from March until May 17 with the hope that the project may be better publi– cized and that more singers may be recruited. At its last meeting the chorus elected officers and expressed the intention to incorporate a permanent group. Officers are Charles Ford, president; Harry Ward, vice-president; Mrs. June Terry, secretary; and Mrs. Lynn Brown, treasurer, A recruiting committee in– cludes Mrs. Gladys Ricks, Mrs. Clarine Smith, and Harry Ward. The group not only wishes to attract more singers; it also welcomes suggestions for a suitable name. Win– chester pointed out that the chorus wishes to be in– tegrated and that a variety of music will be sung. Although the chorus is open to city– wide membership, it is ex– pected that most of the mem– bership will be drawn from the north side. A new rehearsal location was decided upon, and future rehearsals will be held at NAACP headquarters at 2752 N. Williams Avenue each Monday evening at 7: 30. 'Y' Extends Drive Ed Mitchell, director of the North Branch YMCA, has an– nounced that their member– ship drive will continue for an additional week. So far, the North Branch YMCA has obtained $5,700 from mem– berships. The projected goal is $7,000. Mitchell explained that the additional week will be used to contact people in an effort to go over the top. Membership money main– tains the existing program at the YMCA. UGN provides 20 per cent of the operating budget and the rest of the funding comes from program fees. Training Classes At Urban League The Urban League, in co– operation with business companies of the city, is in the process of opening its t raining classes. Two classes in clerical upgrading are now open. One will be– gin March 1 and the second will begin April 1. Since these classes have a small beginning enroll– ment, names of other inter– ested young people are needed. Persons a pp1y i n g should have already had some basic training in typing. Both high sch o o 1 graduates and others may apply. The classes will meet twice a week during the evening. There will be no charge for those who attend. Those who wish to regis– ter now for the clerical UP– grading classes are asked to call the Urban League of– fice, 227-2697.
