to their maintenance and to such ad
ditional legislation as may be neces

Probably the most ambitious musi-
cal entertainment ever given at the
County High School was that Of the
pupils of Miss Pinkney Cone Thurs
day evening in the auditorium. A
large and appreciative audience wit
messed the rendition Of q most diff
cult program in a manner that was
a credit alike to Miss Cones ability
as an instructress and her pupils in
herent talent and well trained hands.
Generous applause indicated the cor
dial approval of the intelligent audit
ors. The pupils, some of them before
the public for the first time, showed
an ease and grace Of bearing, that
would have done credit to those who
are accustomed to the white light of
publicity. The manner in which they
intrpreted the most instricate notes
of the masters proved beyond Ques.
ton not only native musical talent
but thorough training under one cap
able Of imparting to an exceptional
degree her own feeling and sweep OF
Imagination. The familiarity Of the
performers with selections which the
world has long acclaimed its classics
was proven in an incident that took
place during the evening. While In
the midst of a rendition Of Rossini
