Spokane- Raus has been our companion since our arrival in Spokane Monday night. Raus is an almost grown Wei maraner with a beautiful gray satin coat, long hound-like ears, bluish-green eyes with a sad look and an exceedingly playful disposition. To express his pleasure at our arrival, Raus rose up and with one quick swipe ran an eager tongue over one cheek. He nibbles on toes and fingers, nips at the heels and otherwise shows his affection. Raus is actually a rather weli-behaved dog and is begin ning to show the results of the obedience classes which he and his mistress have been attending. It seems that he "hecis," sits and stays at command very well in class, but has decided that this behavior is meant only for the Grange hall in which the classes are held. His owners have a liille trouble convincing him that the commands mean something when he is al home or on the streets. Raus' eating habits are somewhat strange. He turns up his nose at most dry dog food, except when it has been seasoned with bacon drippings, has been known to lap up a couple of spoonfuls of wine with relish and enjoys several vegetables - he eats onions with great relish. We really had fun play ing with Raus and even dallied with the idea of taking him for a walk, but after finding out how strong he is and how much pull it takes to keep him in hand if he happens to see a stray cat, we gave up the idea. At the time we lived in Spokane, we were not as inter ested in flowers and failed to appreciate the yards and gar dens as we do now. The lilac plantings are especially out standing, and we learned this trip that the city has an annual lilac festival which will be held this week end. Even in this neighborhood of small homes and modest gardens, al most every yard boasts al least one large lilac bush, and some have lilac hedges. Like the rest of the northwest, Spokane had a cold and rainy April, but the warmth of. the last few days (today was 81 in Spokane proper and 86 out here in the Dishman area) has brought the blossoms out and they should be in full bloom for the festival. ..... Wednesday afternoon Potpourri and daughter ventured out on the freeway and over to the officers' quarters near Geiger field where we spent a couple of hours with Mrs. Douglas Wall, the former Laura Mae Huson of Medford. First Lieutenant Wall is procurement officer for the post and the couple and their two small sons have recently moved into new quarters. The house is well-designed and constructed, and makes a nice selling for the Walls' Swedish-type furnish ings. Randy, about 3, soon tired of the adult company and after a quick trip outside returned to ask his mother for his boots. Mystified why he should want boots on a hot day. Mama Laura Mae nevertheless found them and put them on the small boy. Randy knew perfectly well what he was about. He proceeded to the street and started to wade in a stream of water overflowing down the gutter from someone s garden hose. A small boy, a stream of water and a warm day add up to only one thing - perfect contentment. Wednesday night Pappy and Potpourri did what thousands of parents and others are doing all over the United States. We attended a musical event staged by the faculty and pupils of a high school. This program was given by Mead High school where our son-in-law teaches and directs the band. For the past three years the school has given a dinner as a year-end event and the student musicians entertain while their parents and other guests are being served. They serve the food and mingle among the guests as hosts. Following dinner a short program of vocal and instrumental music closes the evening. Last year's program was in the German theme, with the students and directors wearing appropriate costumes and playing and singing German music. This year the theme was The Old South; the girls were in full skirts and pantalettes; the boys added ruffles to their white shirts, or dressed as "poor while trash" or field hands. The Mead district is situated on Ihe outskirts of Spokane proper and the high school has about 400 pupils. It is not yet as overcrowded as the city's high schools, Lewis and Clark, for instance, where classes are being held in near-by build ings to take care of the overflow. During the course of the program the directors supplied verbal "program notes." Mead, said the director of vocal music, attempts to pro vide a music curriculum which will interest all the pupils, and this year more than one-third of the boys and girls are participating. During the evening four different pianists served as accompanists, and four boys and girls were featured as vocal soloists. Mead attempts to emphasize music as much or more than athletics, and is expanding its band room and practice rooms for next year. Those classroom teachers we know who complain thai sometimes administrators and school board and architects forgcl who is going to use the facilities - the teachers and the pupils, will be interested to know that the music directors were consulted and their ideas incorporated into the plans and specifications for the new music rooms. ..... Both the vocal and instrumental directors also make this comment - in choosing music representative of the deep south they discovered that the southern states have produced little but Negro and folk music - Ihe upper classes wrote vir tually no music which is considered worthwhile. Also, re search showed that many of the selections which are gen erally associated with Ihe South were written by musicians in New York, Chicago and California, musicians who had never lived in the southern states. ..... Potpourri suffered a humiliating experience Wednesday while guiding Doll T. among the freeway traffic. What with the unfamiliar course, and heavy traffic, etc., we almost ran a red light and brought the little car to a screeching halt a few feet over the line. A woman, of over-powering size and forbidding face, hove up on our port side and ground out with "Get that heap out of my way!" O S. Chapter Has New Officers Mrs. Ernest Flakui was in stalled president of Alpha Beta chapter of Beta Sigma Phi at a meeting Tuesday, May 10, at the home of Mrs. O. A. Eden, 211 Genessee street.
