And there was rejoicing. Even the energetic boys who. moved all the chairs from the LDS church basement and set them up on the library patio did not mind seeing their work go for nothing. Dave Wankier borrowed the high school public address system only to return it unused, but he did not complain either. The crowd overflowed the library meeting room and was very patient with the program chairmans little problems. The welcome rain almost overshadowed an excellent and moving speech by Larry Bailey. A double quartet accompanied by Donna Redd offered several beautiful songs and the enthusiastic audience led by Mr. Wankier sang their feelings about the day and our country. Those who missed the program really missed a chance to start the day in a great way. The ladies of the Rebus Rota Club say thanks very much to all who attended and participated.
