The choir, band, and dance group of William Penn High School present the annual Spring Music Extravaganza May 15 at 8 p.m. in the school auditorium.

Miss Mary P. Brown, Miss Margaret Reed, and Jasper Y. Bell are in charge.

Three groups, consisting of more than 200 students, will crate a variety of music and dance by including classical arrangements, folk songs and dances, and modern numbers in the program.

For those who prefer classics, there will be such numbers as "The Eyes of All Wait Upon Thee", "Her, Watching Shubet's over Israel" by the choir: Second Movement from Symphony Number Eight and An Original Suite by the band.

For advocates of rhythm, there will be such numbers as "Calypso Joint", "Dance of the Saimese Children" by the modern Dance Group, "Syncipated Clock", "Moon River" by the choir, and "Italian in Algiers" by the band.

Contrasting with the Modern Dance Group, who will be wearing native costumes, the band and choir will be dressed in evening wear, the girls in flowing formals and the boys in dark slacks and white jackets.
