Third Annual Howard
Fletcher Recital

Those who attended the third an
nual Howard Fletcher recital at the
Methodist church last Tuesday eve-
ming enjoyed very attractive pro-
gram of music. The young people
who took part in the program, all
pupils of Mrs. Elsie Gates Fletcher
and Mr.. John E. Howard, perform
with grace, accuracy, and COM
mendable degree of assurance.
There was such profusion of num-
bers, such variety of combinations
that review of the individual work
is quite impossible. There were
piano and violin solos, duets, trios,
and quartets nicely contrasting and
harmonizing, giving variety that
enhanced the enjoyment of the pro-
gram. The players showed adecid-
ed advance over their playing of
last year, and the recital was prob
ably better than the previous ones.
Such results are beneficial. They
bring the players before a kindly
disposed audience whose apprecia-
ton stimulates them to further eff
fort and attainment.

BASE BALL

The base ball games here Satur-
day and Sunday both resulted in
victories for the River Falls team,
the Kennedy's of St. Paul being the
victims, In Saturdays game
Morse, of St. Paul, was on the
mound for the locals. Excepting
one bad inning, when a series of
hits and a wild throw allowed the
visitors to score three runs, Morse
had everything his own way. He
also figured conspicuously in the
local scoring, bringing in four runs
with timely hits. The final score
was 6 to in favor of River Falls.
The same two teams lined up again
Sunday afternoon, with Anderson
pitching for River Falls, and the
locals scored a to victory.
Next Sunday River Falls will
play the Boston Grays of St. Paul,
the team which played a six.inning
scoreless game with the locals here
a couple of weeks ago. That six
inning game showed the teams to
be very evenly matched and there
will be good deal of interest in
the outcome of next Sundays game.
The game will be played on the
Glen Park grounds and will be call
ed at three o'clock.

NORMAL CLASS PLAY

That a selection of Shakespeare's
Midsummer Nights Dream" for
the Senior class play was a happy
one was proved last evening when
the play was presented on the Nor
NAL campus before an audience of
about five hundred people An
idyllic setting among the pine trees
in the southern slope of the campus
was chosen. The play was present
ed with but little cutting, all four
groups of characters appearing in
successive interesting and contrast
ing scenes. Music and dancing
added to the delightful fancifulness
of the scenes suggestive of the
fairy world All the speakers
could be heard with ease, the scenes
were entrancingly beautiful, and the
music from Mendelssohn' Midsum-
mer Nights Dream running through
the play was fine to hear and lent
a lyric sweetness to the effect rem
dered. All of the parts were taken
with such a high degree of excel
lence that individual comment is
hardly possible. 1t is an honor to
have taken part in this play which
probably easily surpasses any ever
given by this school. The play was
prepared and put on under the d.
rection of Miss Schlosser, who de-
serves the highest commentator
for her effort. The following is the
cast Of characters.
