SOCIETY NEWS (Continued From Page 3) Girl Scout Spring Music Festival Enjoyable Affair The Spring musical festival held by the Girl Scout troops last Monday evening at 7:30 at the Ebell Clubhouse was a most enjoyable affair. The honored guests were the parents of these young ladies. The opening of the program featured the presentation of colors by four Girl Scouts in full uniform, these being Doreen Kelley, Helen Hokanson, Patricia Morley and LaDona Pleu. Helen Hilleary acted in the capacity of announcer during the program with Veoda Mae Tessner, leader of the singing and Teddy Lou Payne as accompanist. All these young ladies are from Fremont School. Miss Hilleary introduced Mrs. Arthur Roquet, the Girl Scout commissioner in Anaheim who welcomed the guests and in turn presented Mrs. Florence Newkirk, teacher and pianist who presented a most delightful program, and one that was designed for the enjoyment of the younger girls in the simplicity of the music and the delightful melodies that were most appealing to them. Included among the numbers as rendered by Mrs. Newkirk were "The Spinner" by Raff; "The Music Box" by Liadov; "The Witch's Dance" by McDowell and "The Swan" by Palmgren. A group of delightful selections from the "Mother Goose Suite" by Revel were also presented. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the musical program for the young ladies was the very unique, new and modern musical composition of "Animal Pictures" by Ganz. The parents also were very pleased with this selection because of its uniqueness. The Court of Awards which will be held in the future by each of the groups will be announced at a later date. The next meeting will be the first Monday in June.
