of one of the booths tells the story of

A concert was given Monday night
by the faculty of the College of the
Sisters of Bethany. Both in range of
sentiment and technical difficulty the
field of musical survey was pleasingly
wide. The five individual piano num-
bers given by Miss Widenham cover
ed an unusual range of mood with
equally wide ranges of structural diff
culties. Miss Widenham is at the
head of the piano departm ent. Miss
Abbott appeared in three groups of
songs. She depicted the varied moods
of the composer in an ENJOYABLE way.
Miss Bell as an accompanies was
sympathy with the singer. Miss Fades
was heard in two pleasing numbers.
The program closed with brilliant
ensemble number Ballet Music" from
the opera "Copellia."
