| To xrl,n n nt.lro, nt,a Af
| University gave a concert New Years
eve under the auspices of the Ladies
Aid Society. Mendell's hall was more
nearly filled than ever before except
on commencement occasions. Our
own people had no idea of missing
such treat and several came from
Savonburg, Elsmore, Bayard, Gas
City and other places to have a share.
1t was heavy disappointment to the
gentlemen who were here that the Sec
ond tenor failed to join them. BY
some misunderstanding he missed his
train, so at the last moment they we're
compelled to rearrange their program.
Their reader, Miss Becker, was very
generous and helpful and every selec-
ton she gave was we'll received and
much enjoyed. Mr. and Miss Nc
Glashan played and when encored
rendered piece of Mr. McGlashan's
own composition. Not few liked it
better than their first selection. The
solos sung by each of the three gentle
men were very fine and thoroughly ap-
precated for Moran has been educated
to good music. OF course thequartettes
had to be sung as trios, but even then
they were good. The gentlemen were
so sorry to disappoint us that they
kindly insisted on giving us a free
concert at the Presbyterian church
Thursday morning as they had to pass
through Moran that day on their way
to Blue Mound where they were to
sing that evening BY direction of
the Board school was dismissed at
eleventh. give the sci Lolars an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the concert. The
church was full and when the enter-
tainment was over we did not wonder
that the Quartette wanted us to hear
their regular program. Only express
sions of pleasure and appreciation
were to be heard and the one regret
was that our out of town friends miss
ed the cream of the treat Too much
can not be said in praise of Miss
Becker's reading. III there had been
no other attraction it would have been
worth while to close the school early
that morning that the scholars might
hear her. The Jayhawker Quartette
concert will be long and pleasantly
remembered.
