The committee is hard at work organizing the outside arrangements for the program but th* quality of the numbers presented by the students will be a iarize determining factor in the success of Songfest, according to Miss Young.
“We cannot stress enough the necessity tor tne organizat'e-s to begin planning and rehearsing their numbers.” she added. Although Songfest does not take place until Mav 9th. the preliminaries are scheduled for the* end of April and at that time toe groups will be sele-fed.
