treated 10 something grand and
edifying by the recitals of
Mrs. Matte Vines in music and
Miss Campbell in elocution and
expression, at the school auditO.
rum. The leading role was as.
sumed by that grand, talented
and gifted disciple of Apollo,
Mrs. Matte Vines, whose touch
on the piano sends thrill of de.
light and regeneration to every
ear and heart within it's sound;
and her beautiful and charming
appearance on the stage, clad in
a different and most beautiful
costume every night, was some
thing to be admired, worshipped
and adOred by all lovers of mu-
sic and pure and genuine Christ
ian character. Her entire class
exhibited the impress of her
wonderful ability to impart and
instill into the smallest child,
the grandeur and exuberance of
music in all it's charming and
varied phases; portraying to the
human mind the beauties and
realities of living and all wise
God; who, in his all wise benifi.
cence, always smiles on such an
array of beauty, elegance and
genuine Cody characters.
In this class, Miss Jewel
Wurtsbaugh must be specially
mentioned, for her efficiency
and wonderful tact in going
through with her difficult but
charming piece without the aid
of her notes. Miss Hattie Bell
Sisk must also be specially men
toned, for her beautiful and and
unasnming appearance on the
stage, and for the beautiful and
correct performance of her part
of the program. Master Clar-
ence Braden and his sister, Miss
Beulah, were the shining lights
on the stage on Wednesday night
and held the refined audience
present spellbound from the be-
ginning to the end. In fact,
every member of the class is en-
titled to special mention, but
there were so many Of them, it
will require too much space. /
will here say that the whole
class was grand and charming,
both in, their costumes, appear
ance on the stage and in the
manner in which they performed.
All praise to the beautiful, charm
ing and dignitied Mrs. Matte
Vines. who stands, in the opinion
OF the writer, without a peer, as
music teacher, in this city and
community
Miss Campbell is a lady Of
rare intelligence. and gifted in
the art of elecution: and the
print OF her wonderful power, as
an elocutionist Of marked ability
is already observable in the ex-
pressions and feeling recitals of
each and every member of her
class. While Miss Campbell did
not appear in person on the
stage, she was seated behind the
side curtain, and guided and di-
rected the performance with a
master hand.
Merit is and always will be en-
titled to applause at the hands of
an appreciative audience. In
this class, special mention must
be made of the performance of
that beautiful, charming and
lovely, Miss Tommie Stallcup,
robed in a handsome and appro-
pirate costume, she drew from
the audience repeated applause;
and she willingly and cheerfully
responded to an encore, and re-
appeared on the stage in colors
and grandeur betitting queen
of the royal household; and the
applause from an intelligent au-
dience which met her reappear-
ance on the stage was something
grand in the extreme. Robert
Moseley is entitled to special
mention forhis mimicry perform
ance, which kept the audience
laughing and cheering all the
time. Miss Semmie Rogers was
grand in her impersonation of
old age, middle age, youth, girl
hood and infancy. In fact, every
member of the class is entitled
TO the encomiums and praise Of
the intelligent audience present.
The stage was beautifully and
artistlcally decorated with cedar
and Smilax, ferns, roses and
many other flowers of varied
shapes, colors and fragrance; all
of which sent forth and render
ed the hall and stage,i in the Ian
guage Of Milton: Yelled in a
cloud of fragrance. Unveiled
her peerless light, and over the
dark her silver mantle threw. "
The credit for the beautiful
decoration Of the stage il due 10

and the talented Miss Campbell
