The Randolph Herald of May 20 con-
tanned the following appreciatve note
concerning a Middlebury girl "Mss
Drake and pupils gave musical enter
tainment at Normal hall Tuesday after
noon. 1t consists of songs. duets, trios,
quartettes and chorus singing, and lianO
selections. The class showed good pro-
ficiency in their several parts and ali
acquitted themselves well. Miss Drake
is not only an excellent singer herself
but she demonstrates that she could and
did teach others to sing. The normal
schools of the state are fortunate in hay
ing such an instructor in the musical de-
partment of the schools. The public
were invited and those that attended are
under obligations TO Miss Drake for the
fine entertainment. Her efforts were
well sustained by the other teachers and
the pupils" Miss Drake is a;daughter OF
Mrs. Hooker of this place.
