I MANY VI the pest people IN Oeala not
only send their daughters to Miss Kate
Gamsby for their musical education
but they look forward to her animal
piano recital with a pleasure outside of
personal interest-an authorization that
for years has not been disappointed.
The last of these pleasant occasions
occurred at the Woman's Club ves+er-
day evening. and was no execution to
| the rule. The night was dark and
| stormy. but the room was well filled
with the relatives and friends of the
pupils. Very few were present who
could not understand the technique of
the music, and none were there who
could not appreciate the harmony.
The little stage was simply but
prettily decorated for the occasion.
More winning than any flowers could
be were the bright faces of the pupils,
whose seats fanked the stage. Miss
Gamsby with faith and pride in her
scholars evinced in every feature. pre-
sided.

Sidney Cullen, one of the prettest and
old ladies who ever pleased an au-
dience. Miss Sidney Harold had men,
orized drifting" Oh. FrimD a most
difficult piece, and played it without
notes. Every one of the performers de-
serves special notice. and the reporter
regrets that he has not the time and
space and the technical knowledge to
describe their work as it merits.
Miss Gamsby always gives medals to
her most proficient pupils-one of gold
to the senior and one of silver to the
junior class These medals have of
late years been presented by Judge w.
| s. Bullock, who always knows the right
thing to say and how to say it, whether
addressing bench, bar or jury, political
or social gathering, or even a Sunday
school The Judge was at his best last
inight-the occasion was reflected in his
| face and expressed in his words. With
fitting praise and good wishes, he gave
| the gold medal to Miss Lorayne Kemp,
| and the silver medal to Miss Nina
lCamp. Miss Kemp had 236 out of 240
| perfect marks. She is a very bright
young lady, and her love for and I'M

| her face. In this class Miss Gladys
Drake was second with pa marks and
Miss Martha Kate Rentz third with

| Miss Nina Camp, who won the silver
medal, made 23s perfect marks, which

did not miss single days practice

those of gold that are coming TO her
in future. Next to her in this ella SIS
came Miss Agnes Burford with 237
marks and Miss Onie Chazal with 230.
