High School Sings "The Crusaders"

High School Sings "The Crusaders."
The high school chorus gave their
annual concert Friday evening to a
fair sized audience in the assembly
room Of the high school building. The
work presented this year was very
ambitious. one being The Crusaders"
by ,Neils Gade, work of the highest
character in plan and composition.
The part of Peter, the Hermit, was
dramatically rendered by Mr.. Paul
Utt, whose fine baritone voice was
we'll fitted to express. the dramatic
climaxes Astounding in the part. Mr..
UT is splendid singer and showed
himself an artistic and cultured vo-
calist.
| Mrs. Florence Schouten sang the
part Of Armida. the siren queen and
was warmly applauded,tbyI the friend
ly audience. Keokuk is glad to have
this accomplished young wonn of
home production back here to live
and warmly appreciates her beautiful
voice and her fine singing. The char
acter of her part in the Crusaders
was calculated to call for her best eff.
forts and she responded with the
greatest success.
/ Mr. Frank E. Fuller had scarcely
been heard here in solo before and
| his singing was listened to with the
greatest interest and pleasure. His
high tones were particularly pleasing;
4 they revealed his voice as true ten
/ or as he rendered the part of Renaldo
the knight.
Delbert Chute at the piano won
new laurels. Fills part was very diff.
cult but 1t was excellently rendered
and he gave the chorus and soioists
the most loyal and discriminating sup
port.
1 1t means much to the young people
of the high school that their training
in music there and in the grades pre-
pares them to present such program
as that given Friday night. To teacf
them the best in music is the bes
way of showing them the worthless
ness of poor music.
In the second part of the cantats
the girls glee club sang the sirens
chorus accompanying the soprano ane
tenor and did it most effectively.
The concert was under the direc
ton of Prof. p C. Hayden and repre-
scented good deal of work done unde
his direction during the year. This il
the third important concert given b,
the young high school musicians dun
ing the year; showing one of the mos
successful years SO far experienced i
high school music.
Next year the boys band will max
it's bow to the public for the frs
time thus adding another to tn
musical organizations of the school,
