The open hour series of entertain
ments at Wheeler hall were concluded
on Tuesday evening, Feb. 20. The
series has been productive of much
pleasure and even inspiration. The last
two entertainments were of particular
interest That of last week was fur
nished chiefly by Miss Reynolds, teach
er OF reading at the high school, who
gave as her leading numbers, The Vio-
lin Case and two experts from Black
Rock. AS encores she gave several
diverting tid- bits that had the twinkle
of real humor in them. Her readings
were listened to with absorbed atten-
ton. her fine powers of elocution com
polling complete surrender to the in
terest Of her theme. Her audience
gave her the frankest and warmest
approval. On Tuesday of this week.
the entertainers were Miss Kathryn
York of Fargo college, reader; Mrs.
4 AgEnUnard ~ II
son, accompanist, both of Fargo col
lege conservatory. Miss York, in di-
verting selections from The Real Diary
or Real Boy and The Virginian (the
incident of the exchanged babies),
were happily hit off and made world
of fun for her listeners. Mrs. Aske-
gard was at her best, and gave a
series of high class numbers from the
masters of song and opera. Among
them were delicate and sparkling eff
fects as in her trio of songs The
Spring Has Done, by White, A Mem
ory, by Borowski, and One Spring
Morning, by Nevin; while others, like
the timoly aria, Farewell Ye Hills,
from Tschaikowsky's Joan Of Arc. and
Deb Viene, Non Tardar, from Figaro
Mozart, were thrilling with pathos
and exalted passion. Mr.. Henderson,
as accompanied. was an essential and
sympathetic factor in the success of
the recital, Altogether 1t was fitting
close to series OF very profitable en-
tertainments in dormitory life at the
normal.
1 Those who were permitted to look
into the gymnasium Saturday night
had determined, TO their own salts
| faction at least, that the closing of a
term does not always carry with ii a
decline In social interests. 1t was the
| girls of Wheeler hall and the annex
who were entertaining this time, fact
which alone is sufficient assurance of
/ the general enjoyment of the evening.
That the girls far surpassed any pre-
vious effort, is best attested by the
fact that many of the guests pro-
| nounced it the climax Of the seasons
