The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1910-02-03
Entertainment is Arranged by Miss
Margaret liking for Benefit
of the Piano Fund.

Friday evening, at the close of the
school week, was considered better
time. But others besides the Eighth
grade pupils assisted in the delightful
program-the high school orchestra,
Mrs. Benjamin Soule, part of the
church choir, Mrs 81. G. Cooney, Mr..
W. G. McVicar, Miss Huse's class of
little girls from the Whittier school,,
Miss Tennie Cravens, several of the
high school pupils, and last but by:
no means least, Miss King herself, all
contributed to the evenings enjoy
ment.
The wall in the rear of the platform
was adorned with a chalk sketch Of
the Scottish thistle, the names Of
prominent Scottish clans, and steel
engraving of Burns and his Highland
Mary flanked with Old Glory and an
English flag. The dates of Burns
birth and death were also traced upon
the wall.
The program opened with a se]ec-
tion by the high school orchestra, en-
titled "Kahkwa Club March," which
was so we'll rendered as to bring
an encore. Each and every number
on the program as printed in last
weeks issue we're given. It would be
invidious to particularize when all
acted their parts SO we'll. Miss Mary
Huse's class of II little girls from the
Whittier school are deserving of par
ticular mention. The children, repre-
senting Scottish milkmaids, presented
a neat and striking appearance in
their tartan caps and capes, and the
prefectly natural and childlike
manner in which the little tots spoke
their pieces-"Ca' the Yowes to the
Knowes" and cup in the Morning
Early"@ captivated the audience and
elected thunderous applause. Miss
Huse understands how to manage
children and win their affection
and she is fairly worshipped
by her little pupils, hence her
great success as primary
teacher.
Miss Tennie Cravens read care
fully prepared and exceedingly in
teresting paper on Burns which was
listened to with marked attention.
We deem the paper worthy of repro
duction in the U ION, which will be
done later.
AS Mr.. W. G. McVicar is "grown-
up" it may not be out of place to re-
mark that, judging from the vigorous
applause, his rendition of s'The Laird
O'Cockpen" was one of the hits of the
evening.
Mrs. q. G. Cooney's vocal solo
was admirably rendered-she was at
her very best and, fguratively speak
ing, drought down the house,"
She possesses a remarkable range of
voice-in fact there are few who can
equal her in solo parts. Mrs. Soule
accompanied Mrs. Cooney on the
piano.
Miss Marjorie Smith, violinist and
leader of the high school orchestra: is
musician possessing more than
ordinary talent, and much credit is
due her for so successfully bringing to
a high point of excellence the musical
organization named.
The musical recitation by Miss
Mildred Rutherford was indeed a
pretty selection and was ABLY
rendered. Miss Aimee Woodcock
accompanied her.
The numbers by the school choir
could not have been better sung. es-
pecially the selection, "My Hearts
in the Highlands" which closed the
program, and Miss Margaret I. King
then thanked, in a few we'll chosen
words, the audience for its liberal
patronage.
It was a highly enjoyable enter
tainment and all who attended were
more than pleased and left the
assembly room prouder of Princeton,s
schools-teachers and. pupils alike
than when they entered. About $40
was realized for the piano fund. The
interchangeable getter-up of the enter
talnment, Miss Margaret I. King, is
entitled to great praise.
