Today there will be a meeting of the

caslon OF much enjoyment, as the musical
culture of the students of st. Mary's is
attended to by talented faculty of
musicians, whose work is eyinced by the
excellent progress shown by their pupils.
Last night the hall of the school was
filed by an appreciative audience to lis
ten to the music which was so hand
somely rendered by Prof. Jevdwine, Miss
Lucy Alice Jones, Miss Potwin, Miss
Schutt and the Choral Society. These
artistes rendered a program that was
worthy of the generous applause that
greeted the various numbers.
The faculty recital began with three Sc
lections on the piano by Prof Jevdwine,
which were rendered with exquisite touch
His selections we're:
(a) Fugue and Clique in Minor
(HandeD
(b) Adagio from Sonata Pathetique-
beethoven.
(c) The Fountain-(S terndale Bennett)
Following these Miss Lucy Alice Jones
was heard with great pleasure in song,
Chant d'Exil, by P Vidal, her contralto
voice being most melodous Prof. Jevdwine
played the accompaniment. Then came a
Sonata for Piano and Violin (PaderewskD, ,
(Allegro con fantasia, allegro motto quai
prestO), Miss Jones being at the piano
and Miss Potwin evoking with artistic
touch, the sweet music of the violin. The
next number comprised two songs in high
baritone by Prof. Jevdwine, these being
Schuman's Devotion" and Governs Par
ted Presence"
OF the next two numbers the first was
a faultlessly rendered piano solo by Miss
Jones, Schuman's "Papillons-Op 2" and
the next a duet in which the voices of
Prof. Jevdwine and Miss Jones blended
happily, the selection being Marzials
Friendship
The next number was q selection for
the piano, rendered by Miss Schutt. 1t
was the 'Valse in E-Op "a, No /" of
Moskowsk and was thoroughly enjoyed
Next Miss Potwin was heard in a violin
solo "RomanZa in G." by Beethoven, it's
charming harmony being followed by two
vocal solos by Miss Jones, these being
(a) To a Rose, IF S. Hastings), and Oh
Good Night, Geo Chadwick, which were
applauded again and again.
The delightful program was closed by
the part song from Hy.. Leslie, Good
Night sung by the Choral Society, the
twenty or more voices making a SYM
phony of music that was a fitting finale
to the recital which had given so much
real enjoyment to music lovers.
The bankuet of the senior class of ST.
Mary's was given in the art building
after the exercises in the chapel on
Monday evening and was an occasion
long to be remembered as fraught with
peculiar interest and pleasure to all
present.
The art room was deliberately decor
ated with evergreens and flowers which
lent the charm of beauty to the scene.
The table was tastefully ornamented
with the Gloss colors, white and gold;
and the Gloss flower Cherokee roses.
At intervals during the serving of the
elegant courses of the supper the usual
class history, class poem and class
prophecies were rendered by Miss
Jeanette Biggs; Gloss historian, Miss
Alice Welsh; Glass poet, Miss Julia
Parsley; class prophet, Miss Rosa Cor

Norwood.
Pretty hand-painted fans in white
and gold. bearing the class motto EN-

of the occasion and the broken pieces
will ever be cherished by the members
of the class Of 1901.
