eNSN Logan with great an
VN ticipation. It had been
AS given out that a con-
MN& cert would be given at
N[Q,1 the High School AS

ed at the hands of the students Of
the L. II. s., were anxious the time
TO arrive that they might spend a
pleasant evening in other than the
coarse jostle of life.
Long before the hour assigned
for the beginning, the beautiful and
we'll seated little hall, was want for
a spreading of its walls to accom-
modate the intide of people. The
admission was light, and every one,
who seeks the higher sphere Of en-
tertalnment Is willing to contrib
ute his mite to q good cause, and in
return hear one Of the most pleas.
ing entertainments of the season.
The program opened with q piano
duette by the Misses McManigal
and Hoyt. The young ladies though
very tender in years, are already
masters of the keyboard, and art
lists to furnish food for the soul. 1t
is wonderful that such young minds
and tender muscles could thus ac-
complish the touch and the tone Of
so difficult an instrument as the
piano, and pour forth such strains
of harmony.
The second was a solo by Miss
Robin Rochester. Miss Rochester's
voice is one of the many young
voices in Logan that we had not
the pleasure of hearing until Mon
day nights entertainment. 1t Is
sweet indeed; one that an heiress
would part with her heritage to
possess. Her rendition of the pref
ty selection "Stay at Home, My
Heart" merited, indeed, the round
of applause that followed her exit.
The third selection was duette
"Swiss' Air" by the Misses Malta
Dollison and Nan Mcbride. This
is one of the choice personal COM
positions of FIR. Seidman, the 6 reat
German composer, land 1t seemed by
the rendition that the voices Of
these two ladies were in the hear
ing of the learned musician when he
put forth his efforts in that sweet,
soothing "Swiss Air" The ladies
were much complimented on their
beautiful selection and rendition.
The fourth on the program was a
vocal solo, "Tell Her I Love Her
So," by Miss Maggie Best. Miss
Bestis the happy possessor of q
very sweet contralto voice. Her
tones are void of that harshness
that oft times gives unpleasantness
when listening to voices of her
class. The rendition of her selec-
tion was superb.
The fifth feature of the program
was one of the hits Of the evening.
Messrs Sanderson, Rudisill and
Bright; three young boys whose
voices have not changed into the
harshness of fmanhood, rendered the
beautiful trio, "Evening Bells.'
This is difficult selection with
close harmony, but the boys had
their ears with them, and would
not let a tinge of discord creep
into the smooth blend of their sill
very voices. 1t is remarkable that
young voices, before they are real.
ly voices, could be trained to blend
j in such close harmOny,
| The vocal solo, "Thine Eyes SO
Blue and Tender" by Mr.. Robt
Wright was an accomplishment
that we'll deserved public recogni'
ton. Mr.. Wright has the making
of an excellent vioI de CANA voice
and his appearance in public as 9
soloist will be drawing card II
the future.
The seventh feature was a piano
solo, "Remembranzo" by Miss Ber
tina McManigal. Miss McManiga
not only deserves pleasing press re
membrance for her special perform
ances on the program, but her &C
compartments to the other assists
were pleasingly smoothe, and meri
the highest compliment. Unfortu

old alma Mater.
A vocal quartette, "Now tn
Shades of Night" was rendered b!
