Rana Mumford, one of the singers, is just 15 years old. Drawing, painting and sketching are her hobbies, while music is a great interest. Two sisters, Jean and Doris Lang, will sing duets: " When Song is Sweet," and "I Love You Truly." Jean, who is 14, is a keen stamp collector, while Doris is an expert knitter, and makes music a hobby. Memories of the Deanna Durbin consest are recalled by Flo Sadler, who was one of the finalists.
