Mr. Glockzin has been a successful
teacher here and we will miss his
voice very much, he was very popu-

here has been entirely satisfactory
in every way his glee clubs were
wonders and his chorus unexcelled
by any High school in the state. Mr..
Glockzin is twenty-eight years old
and has spent most of his time in
study, he is a valued friend of all his
pupils and will be missed very much,
and his vacancy will be hard to fill.

appearance in public before a ST.
Louis audience and he did justice to
the occasion His singing was mar
velous, and Miss Helena Mason's
well. no one has been able to put
their appreciation into words. Miss
Gilbert played splendidly and the en-
tire program was without flaw
