As the competitors look forward to the contest some of the host families are eager to meet these high school students. ; Afew families have really opened up to help the students and the competition. Eric Martin, a for- mer Dallas High School student, will be bringing three competitors into his home. “I think itis a novelidea.” Martin said when asked about housing the students. “It is a unique expe- rience and more people whould step up and take part in the pro- gram because it gives a lot of in- sight on high school kids and how they see the world.” During his high school days, Martin was associated with the chorus. He took part in the district competition held in Dallas in 1973 and he once made it to the regional competition where he was housed by a family in Pittston. \ Martin has four children who also are looking forward to hous- ing three high school competitors. Besides his own home, Martin has other family that is also housing students. His parents have agreed to take in four students and he has an aunt who is also putting up three students. Families in the Dallas School District are not the only ones help- ing with housing the students. Some homes in the Lake-Lehman Area are also getting involved. One family is that of Steven and Susan Demidovich, who have agreed to host eight competitors for the competition. Susan said that her love of music and high school students, and the room in her home helped make the decision to house the students easy. “My whole family loves music Wants To SewL For You Your *Used Infant & Childrens Clothes To Size 6 *Maternity Clothes Consignment Shop Granny's other name is Wanda Maurer Granny's Baby Boutique Dundee Shopping Center, Sans Souci Pkwy.

Another will put up 10 between them and we are very excited about this,” she said. When contacted by Sher- wood about housing the students, Demidovich did not hesitate to say yes to taking four of them. But when she heard that more needed housing she decided to double that figure. “My daughter whois 13 is in the band and wants to compete in these types of competition on the band level,” said Susan. “I love the chorus and my husband also likes music so this is something special for us.” Demidovich is not kidding when she says that she supports compe- titions, because in April she will also be housing two college stu- dents who will be competing at a competition at Westminster Col- lege. Sherwood had much praise for these and other families who are hosting students. but she also realizes that there are still 20 stu- dents who need to be housed. There is not much to be done in hosting a student. The competi- tors will have to be put up from Wednesday through Friday, March 21-23, provided with breakfast, and - transported to the Dallas Middle School once each day until the competition ends on Saturday. Host families will receive tickets to the concert. Anyone interested in helping in this event can contact Mrs. Florence Sherwood at the Dallas High School, 675-5201, during the day or at her home, 696-2412, in the evening.
