But am the same to you today
AS when our friendship was new.
We loved each other then.
Each deemed the other constant FRIEND
We parted with many vows and tears
Was that the end?
Alas, we have drifted apart
We, who were friends, in the long ago;
Can it he, ask, with aching heart
scarce can believe II SO,
TO \. E. B. IL B.

The "Our First Woman President was
wittily written and well read. Joe Katz
did splendidly. and did not allow the
pianists of the other sex to bear off greater
honors. But the number for which all
were waiting and which made the preced-
ing selections receive less attention, was
the song "Esmeralda," By Mollie Ross
all expected great things of her. But
their expectations and even exceeded. So
powerful, yet not at the same time harsh,
brassy or nasal, like SO many Others, was
her voice; so clear her epunciation and easy
her bearing, that all were surprised, and
if she continues to progress she will yet
meet with great success. She Is young
and therefore her voice is very flexible;
careful training that it may become more
so, will one day enable her to surprise yet
more those who heard her at her debut.
The selection was perhaps a little too diff
cult, but the more wonder therefore that
she did so WELL Her teacher may well be
proud Miss Anna Zeininger, who was,
of course, reelected the pianist for the
school year, did much to insure the success
of the most pleasing number by her intelli-
gent accompanying. -
Then hardly had the sweet notes died
AWAY when the audience was truly favored
by Miss Koehler, who spoke the touching
recitation in a manner. with pathos and
sembiance of reality that is seldom sur
passed at these entertainments, and held
her listeners in as close attention as if they |
had been listening to heartbroken "Nan"
herself Prof. Davis offered some sugges-
tions at the close which were extremely |
apropos and which, If acted upon, will |
wonderfully improve the recitations.
