‘Thumbs Down’
On Spencer
OKLAHOMA CITY —C. E.
Grady, Oklahoma county school
superintendent, Tuesday turned
thumbs down on a proposed sen-
irate school in tile Spencer dis-
trict here, provided for in the De-1
cembcr bond issue after 18 Negro
patrons filed suit to force county |
commissoners to build the school. |
A ?63.'1OC provision for the school
was 'ncluded in the bond issue.
Pupils now living in the district
attend either the Rose Hill school i
■ir the Dungee school, both con-1
solidated schools.
Grady said he was opposed to,
the school because pupils now liv-!
ing in the Sjicncer district ride the
bu : to ene of the two schools, and. 1
since the new school would not b-. !%j
r
expectations.
Rehearsals for the Interdenomin-
ational choir cencert repre-

four hundred persons who rehears"

weeks each year. This choir is now

sal. with Mrs. Aretha Clay ready-
ing her dancing trirls for their oar’
in this ever widening Community
program.
Until recent years, mus’eal
selections by the choir and Douglas
High school band and a choral
eroup under the directions of Mrs.
C. V. Thompkins, were the main
features on the program, but with
an increasing YWCA program,
Mrs. Clay has present ’d her danc-
ing group wit!’ several interpretive
