talented soloists.

Pinnell contralto, Mr.. William Weiser
violinist Miss Alice Marsh celloist,
Mrs. n. E. Coles organist, Miss Helen
Smith pianist, assisted the choir and |
had much to do with the success of
abe great program.
Every number was a magnificent |
rendition and was greatly enjoyed by |
the audience.
Prof. LaVerne II. Brown arranged |
and directed the concert and to him
is due great credit Prof. Brown is
easily one of the most successful and
one of the ablest musical directors
