The plan was drafted by Jakosky after he spent several weeks in eastern industrial centers—particularly in the plants of Ford and General Motors—studying their requirements.

Since Peterson became a member of the choir, shortly after it was founded by Ross Robertson in 1936, he has been arranging more and more of its numbers. Peterson took over the directorship of the choir when Robertson left his position on the faculty of the department of economics in 1940.

University Plays Host To H.S. Seniors
Senior classes from several eastern Kansas high schools have accepted invitations to come to the University Friday for an interscholastic guest day, planned by the extension division. The classes plan to make the trip to the campus in celebration of the traditional senior "sneak" day.
