who took part.
The first of the series of recitals ap-
preaching the close Of the Lindsey Will

who graduated from the music depart
ment.
Too much praise cannot be given
Miss Rosenfield. She has been a most
earnest painstaking pupil and the re-

ability in musical lines was that the
large audience was treated to four
beautiful numbers faultlessly render
ed.
The vocal numbers by those who as
sisted her were most entertaining and
won much applause.
Thursday evening Misses Ollie
Crockett and Myrtle Sageser, who grad
uated from the expression department,
gave their recitals to packed house.
Both of these attractive young ladies
are very efficient along the lines of
their chosen professions and they were
encored repeatedly.
They closed their program with a
two-character play: "A Fair Encount-
err" in which both acquitted them
selves most favorably.
Although the weather was quite
disagreeable Friday evening, a fair
sized and appreciative audience heard
the recital given by the members of
the music class.
The program, consisting of both
vocal and instrumental numbers, was
rendered without hitch and showed
that the members net only possessed
rare talent but that they had received
excellent training.
On Saturday evening came h e
Evening of Plays under the direc-
tion of Miss BeSS Shannon.
This was one of the best and most
entertaining recitals ever given from
that platform and teacher and pupils
alike deserve much praise.
