ton. She was followed by Miss Ger
trude SEWERS, who told "What the
Alumn@ Can Do" heartily insist
ing upon the prosecution of the work
for providing to help those who are
not able to educate themselves.
Principal Clewell was called upon
and expressed his qualification at the
interest of the Association, and said
that when the Alumn@ were able to
help girl $3.50. the school would
give the other $3.50 for the year. He
hoped that one and soon two or
more would thus be enabled to enter
the institution.
While a liberal contribution was
being collected the election of officers
was proceeded with as follows:
President-Mrs. E. Starbuck, of Sa
lem

THE coNCERT
The Moravian church was never
more crowded than last night, while
several hundred people who were
anxious to hear the grand concert
were turned away.
When the hour of opening ar
rived the aisIes and vestibule were
crowded, and many took advantage
of the open windows. In view of
the crowded and rather uncomforta
BILE condition Of the audience, Prin-
cipal Clewell in tho start got the
consent of the audience to be dicta-
tor, just little while, and the best
of order prevailed. But that is not
surprising when the character of
the entertainment is considered
No more creditable concert has
ever been given by the Academy,
and the SUCCESS of the event is in a
large measure due to the untiring
work, the discriminating taste, and
the fine ability as a musician and
an organizer of Professor Paul
Schmolck.
The audience demonstrated it's in
terest and appreciation with liberal
applause for each number.
Miss Ethel Morric Of South Coro
lima, soloist in the opening number
and in "The Messiah" has a sweet
voice that has been cultivated, and
is capable of still more improvement,
though she sings well now.
Of the piano soloists perhaps Miss
Eldred Mallory displayed superior
knowledge of the art. Her touch is
delicate and she plays with life and
spirit.
Little Miss Frances Conrad, with
her recitation "Jack and JILL" de-
lighted the audience.
Miss Scriber was received with
enthusiasm. Her voice reminds one
of Madame Jaunaschecks at her best,
and she possesses much of the magic
power of silence that tragedienne
displays as Lady Macbeth. Her rec
itation of "Laureame" was faultless.
Miss Scriber as alto soloist in ''The
Messiah" showed that elocution is
not her only accomplishment. AS
vocalist she has scarcely less power.
Miss Rondthaler has a clear strong
voice and her soprano in ''The Mes
siah" was one of the most pleasing
features of the evening.
Frank Vogler, as tenor soloist,
Messrs Ebert and Brickenstein, base
soloists, won new laurels as artistic
singers.
The concert of the commencement
of '92 is one long and pleasantly to
be remembered.
