North Star and also marked the.
closing of another successful school,
year in this young and vigorous in.
stittuion of learning.
| The exercises OF commencement.

with a vocal and piano recital at.
the college chapel in which the,
more advanced students in music
participated and acquitted them
selves with great credit to both
| themselves and their teachers. The
full program was published last
week.
On Saturday evening was given.
the graduation recital of Miss Char.
lotte Danielson, assisted by Miss
Florence Anderson, soprano. Miss
Danielson's charming and faultless
rendition of classical music proves
that she is an apt pupil and that
she has had the training of excel
! lent teachers. Music has been Civ.
en- high place at North Star Col.
lege and is under the supervision Of
teachers of eminence in their pro-
fession. Miss Danielson is the on
ly graduate in the music depart
ment this year, and has been award :.
ed the teachers diploma. Miss

much appreciated.
The baccalaureate services were
held at the college chapel on. Sun
day evening. President O. E. Alb
rahamson preaching the sermon
which was pithy and replete with
! valuable advice to the graduates. At
another time we may, perhaps, be.
| able to publish it in full A vocal
duet, Home to Thy Loving Arms,
from I'll Travatore" was rendered
| by Miss Abrahamson and Prof.
| Knock in a pleasing manner.
Messiah Concert
On Monday evening a grand sa-
cred concert was given at the OPP
era house at which selections from
! Vests Faith and Praise and from
Handel's grand sacred oratorio
Messiah were rendered by from
SO to 80 voices from all the church
es in the city. That Warren pos
sesses musical talent of high or
der was we'll evidenced on this oc-
Casion, as many competent to judge
said that they had never heard
parts of Handers great musical
composition better sung than it was
here on Monday night. The solo
parts sung by Miss Agda Wenner-
berg were rendered with artistic
perfection and were highly appre-
ciated. Much credit is due to
Prof. Knock, the director, for his.
energy and untiring efforts to make
the concert a success. Miss Ella
Lundgren, the accompanist, did her
part in a manner that merits the
highest praise.
AS an introduction to the '''Mes-
siah" Prof. C. E. Sjostrand delivered
a fine address explaining the great
oratorio and giving a short biogra-
phical sketch Of the author.
It is hoped that Messiah concerts
will be a regular feature in the fu-
ture in connection with the closing
exercises Of North Star College.
| Many regard this Messiah con-
cert as the best in the musical line
ever heard in Warren. It certain
lly was inspiring and uplifting to all
fortunate enough. to hear it.
Another vocal and piano recital
was given at the college chapel on.
Tuesday afternoon in which boys
and girls of the beginning classes

dents participated. All participat-
ing showed the result of faithful
and careful training.
