Ashland may be hosts to the

if the suggestion made by Presi­
dent J. A. Churchill o f the nor­
mal school, at the regular lun­
cheon meeting of the Kiwanis
club held this noon at the Lithia
Springs hotel is adopted.
The inspiration for the sug­
gestion was the 20-piece orches­
tra o f the Klamath Falls High
school,- who, with a solosists and
a girls quartette, entertained the
club this noon. The neighboring
musicians very delightfully enter­
tained with a varied selection of
numbers and Kiwanians general­
ly were enthusiastic over the
splendid showing made.
Bf^s Mildred Lucas, soloists
for tl,t .thesiia accompanied by
Eneise Jeanson, delighted the
club with two selections, and the
girls quintette, dressed in white
uniforms, trimmed with red made
a striking appearance.
The orchestra was under the
direction of Mrs. McIntyre, di­
rector of music in the Klamath
Falls schools.
