The couple resides in Prairie City. The groom, 28, is the son of Jose G. Vielma Jr. and Theresa Arias. The bride, 25, is the daughter of Roman Victorio Riojas and Teresa Riojas. It was as if the Grant Union Junior-Senior High School bleachers were the- ater seats May 23 as Grant Union and Humbolt Elemen- tary musicians in grades 6 through 12 presented the “A Night at the Movies!” con- cert. The familiar music in- cluded songs from movies such as “The Little Mer- maid,” “Mary Poppins,” “Ju- rassic Park,” “Harry Potter” and “Phantom of the Opera.” Director Lori Hart said even though she selected the music, the students helped it come alive with their effort and enthusiasm. “I loved the concert,” Hart said. “I was so proud of the kids and their work.” Hart, who led about 90 students in the spring con- cert, started teaching mu- sic at Grant School District No. 3 in January. “This school year must have been hard on the stu- dents, getting a brand new teacher mid-year, but they have all been fantastic to work with,” she said. “I have loved being able to teach and learn from them every day.” Four seniors were hon- ored during the concert, including four-year mem- bers of the music program Rose Allen (clarinet), James Mabe (tenor) and Shiranne Carter (sopra- no), and one-year member foreign exchange student The Eagle/Angel Carpenter The Grant Union Junior-Senior choir sings “Under the Sea” from “The Little Mermaid” during their May 23 spring concert at the school.

He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR, have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE. Then it’s too late. 05636 AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
