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, Killingsworth, has organized a girls' drill team which will march in the Rose Parade, The girls meet every Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. at the Mallory Avenue Christian Church. Mrs. Easley says, "I've always felt and said that our area youth should have more outlets to express themselves more effectively and successfully." She continued, "Our area has endured hardships that should have been eliminated but were not because of indifference and an apparent lack of communication. However, I have found these obstacles were of little consequence." The small i?roup is asking the community for some assistance 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 M etho 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 - especially the male voices - the concert has been postponed from March until May 17 with the hope that the project may be better publicized 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 includes 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. Winchester pointed out that the chorus wishes to be integrated and that a variety of music will be sung. Although the chorus is open to citywide membership, it is expected that most of the membership 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 announced that their membership drive will continue for an additional week. So far, the North Branch YMCA has obtained $5,700 from memberships. 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 maintains 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 cooperation 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 begin March 1 and the second will begin April 1. Since these classes have a small beginning enrollment, names of other interested young people are needed. Persons app1y 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 register now for the clerical UPgrading classes are asked to call the Urban League office, 227-2697.
