.JUDSON COLLEGE
ANNUAL CONCERT
Is BRILLIANT ONE
BY CHARLES B. CARTER

Marion, May 17.-(Special.)-O the many
attractions of the commencement season,
none Is more popular than the annual
concert at Judson college. Contrary to
the usual custom, cantata was not this
year included in the concert.
The programme was, however, a bril-
liant one, every number being given with
the artistic finish and musical style for
which the Judson's music department is
famous.
The chorus numbers which opened and
closed the programme and the numbers OF
the Glee club showed the result of care
full training under Mrs. Gurganus, the er-
ncient head of the voice department.
. The solo numbers were furnished by the
graduates of the year. Miss Lucy Dick
inson of Birmingham, Miss BERTHE Heard
Of Ruston, La, Miss Irma Cook of Push
mataha, and Miss Ruth Herlong of At
larta, Ca, were heard in piano numbers,
their playing rejecting great credit on
their teachers Mr.. Powers and Mr..
Goode. Miss Herong played a Hitler
concerto, the second piano part being sup
Piled by Mr.. Powers.
Miss Ruth O'Neal of Andalusia. the
only organ graduate of the year, played

The voice graduates, Miss Fleming
Cooke of Marion, Miss Nettie Powell of
Yantby and Miss Lucille Hightower of
Hattiesburg, Miss, greatly delighted the
audience with some brilliant songs and
arias These young ladies all possess
voices of unusual promise and sing their
difficult selections in a most musical and
effective manner.
The concert was altogether one of the
best commencement concerts ever heard
at the Judson and friends and patrons of
the college may feel assured that the in
stitution is fully sustaining its reputation
for musical training or the highest type.
The reception given by Mrs. Robert G.
Patrick president of the Alumnae society
of Judson college, Monday evening from
4 to o'clock, at the presidents home,
was largely attended by members of the
society and visitors. In line to meet the
guests were Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Ellis of
Orrvile, to whom Judson is largely in
debted for the magnificent house of the
president Appropriate music was rem
dered by Mr.. Powers during the recep-
ton.
The final reception at Marion institute
was held from 4 to o'clock on Monday
evening at the residence of Major and
Mrs. H O. Murfee. Many patrons of the
institute were present, and with bevy
of Young ladies' from Judson the last
meet and "tete-a-tete' of the college
boys were given.
The final exercises at the institute are
being held today which the commence
ment exercises will be at Judson tonight.
