SPLENDID PRAISE
For Miss Mary Spraeue As Manager
Of Newton High School Orchestra.

The following item is from a recent
Boston Journal and will be of much
interest to Augusta people, because
Miss Mary Sprague, who is SO highly
complimented is the daughter of Mrs.
Francis W. Sprague, 3D. formerly Miss
Sadie Chick of this city. The item
follows:
Several hundred representative So
ciety people of the Newtons, Brook
line and other places gathered in the
Assembly hall of the Newton High
school, Newtonville last night to hear
the first concert given by the School
Orchestra All had come prepared to
hear good music, but nearly everyone
expressed surprise at the general eX-
cellence of the program. For several
months the musicians had been pre-
pairing for the event, and they surely
received their reward for the many
weary hours of rehearsing in the
hearty applause that greeted each
number
While great credit was reflected on
the performers themselves and more
on Joseph A. Audet, the director, who
had drilled the orchestra. the real
praise was extended to Miss Mary
Sprague, a Sophomore, who, besides
playing the mandolin, is manager Of
the orchestra. Not everyone is ac-
quainted with the hard work neces-
sary to get together a number of diff
ferent school pupils and infuse into
them sufficient enthusiasm to get them
to perform in public, but this is what
Miss Sprague, alone and unaided. at-
complished and she is entitled to much
pride in her work.
The program was attractively ar
ranged and included selections from
the classics. The patronesses of the
affair were Mesdames S. w. Davis, r.
c. Heebner, II. W. Holbrook, G. D.
Meserve. +. f. Spaulding, t. W.
Sprague. Samuel Thurber and e. d.
