Now that the football season is over, Bo and Millie Schembechler probably will be doing a little more relaxing at home with friends. Although the coach won't be modeling in the March of Dimes fashion show on Feb. 5, Millie will - and she's giving him a preview of one of the spring outfits she'll be wearing both for the show and for entertaining.

Wasn't that a time . . . An impressive collection of folk musicians played before enthusiastic audiences which filled the Michigan Theatre for two shows Saturday at the Fifth Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Despite the bitter cold, both shows were well attended, and at least $8,000 was raised for The Ark coffeehouse. The performances were dedicated to Percy "Mr. Bones" Danforth, left, who at 81 showed that he still is the master of his rhythmic craft. Danforth performed several numbers with Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits, center [this photo], known on stage as Gemini. Headlining the show was David Bromberg, right, who "provided joyous, emotional finales for both show," according to News reviewer Jeff Mortimer, whose story appears on Page B-6.

First step in Robert H. Wagner's determined plans for future independence was accomplished Thursday when Otto W. Haisley, Ann Arbor school superintendent, presented the 33-year-old disabled veteran with a high school diploma. Wagner, who lives at Horseshoe Lake, was paralyzed in one arm and both legs by a sniper's bullet which struck him down during the St. Lo offensive in 1944. He earned the high school diploma by successfully completing a course of studies at his home, and plans to follow up with a course that will qualify him as a professional accountant.
