The parents and teachers have good
reason to feel proud of the children here
who can so successfully carry out pro-
gramme like this. All the parts were
most creditably filled and every song
and exercise seemed to be appreciated
by the audience. One of the songs
particularly enjoyed was the duet by
Alice Barden and Madge Tuell. Little
Miss Alice sung in her usual pleasing
manner, and Miss Madge who is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer E.
Tuell, and about the age of Alice, sung
finely the most difficult part of alto.
Fifty-six children we're in the opening
march, and it was most pleasant to see
the unity of spirit and kindly feeling
manifested on this occasion.
