Major" and “Scherzo in C-Minor”

gram to be presented at 8 p.m.

Minor” and Beethoven's “Sonoto,”
Opus 31, No. 3, with the “Allegro,”
“Scherzo,” “Minuetto” and “Presto
con fuoco” movements. In the sec

one of his own compositions,.“Ga
votte.” A fourth number is Wag
ner-Brassin's “Magic Fire Scene.”
Four Spanish compositions v/ill
be played in the third group. These
are Debussy’s “Evening in Gran
ada,” "La Comparsa” by Lecuoma,
"Laquinita” by Elmerco, and “El
Vito” by Infante.
The piano Mr. Hokpins will use
for the concert was recently tuned
by Robert Strang of Baker, Ore
gon, who uses a stroboscope, to
make possible more accurate tun
ing than the human ear is able to
attain.
Meet Mr. Antrobus
He’s the eternal Dead End kid.
They used to call him Cain hut
since that unfortunate mishap with
the stone- well, Mr. and Mrs. An
ti obus didn't like to be reminded
of their loss, so they changed his
name to Henry.
Henry is an individualist. He be
lieves in every man for himself and
the devil take whoever isn't smart
enough to get there first. Even
after the war, with Henry on the
losing side, he and his father
couldn't agree on the postwar
policy.
Meet Henry Antrobus, Friday,
October 27, at 8 p.m. in Guild hall,
in the opening performance of
“The Skin of Our Teeth.” Henry
is played by Sliubert Fendrick.

vations may be obtained by Calling
Extension 316 after 10 a.m.

Eggs Plus Flour
Don't Scramble,
WAA Hikers Find
"I’ve never before seen eggs th it.
scramble like this," Nadya Ramp
said as she pulled the skillets from
the fire.
"It looks like hotcake batter ‘i>
me," said another girl who was
waiting eagerly for her share of
food at the WAA “cook-out” at
Hendricks park Saturday morning.
Then Betty Bush confessed. She
had fixed eggs to feed 30 girls the
night before, and thought it wou'-tl
be good to use some flour. Tha
flour had settled to the bottom of
the jar, causing the sticky concoc
tion.
But the hikers hadn't put till
their eggs in one skillet, so they
still ate.
