MISS REEVES IN RECITAL


The recent graduation recital of
Miss Helen Reeves, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. M. A. Reeves, of Mitchell,
from the Loudenbach school of mu-
sic at Atchison Kansas, was the
subject of the following favorable
comment in the Atchison Daily
Globe: The advanced student recit-
al is becoming a popular event in
Atchison. This was shown by the
fact that last evening, the recital
hall at the Loudengach School of
Music was filled for the second time
in four days by those music lovers
who are interested in hearing the
works of the great masters, and in
those who are trying to promote this
art. Miss Helen Reeves was the
first artist of the evening, and her
Atchison friends who have known
her for two seasons as a successful
teacher and .accompanist were filled
with pleasure when she took her
place at the piano and began the rem
dition of Beethoven's Sonata, OPP.
II No l. Miss Reeves gave Beetho-'
e a scholarly Interpretation. In
the group by modern composers
of the romantic school the performer
entered into the spirit of each num-
Der. The audience actually seemed
to see the babe in it's cradle being
rocked quietly to sleep, so skilfully
did Miss Reeves play the Chopin
Berceuse. The List arrangement of
"Hark Hark the Lark" by Schubert,
was the climax of the whole program
One could see Schubert, the sponta-
neous song writer, List, The great
est pianist thoroughly understood
and mastered by a young student,
who possesses more than the I've
age ability and an ambition to reach
the highest point in the musical pro-
fession. Miss Reeves and Mr.. Lou
denbach played the Concerto by
Schutt exceedingly we'll. &

Move Rejection Of Bids.

The committee on new buildings,
through Chairman Woolley reported
the opening OF the bids and the re-
suit. After some discussion Member
Boyd moved that the board reject
each and all Of the bids. This started
a discussion about the various phases
OF the bidding. Some Of the members
thought the heating contract was too
high, but by comparison with the JET
ferson contract it was found that the
difference in the bids was proper
one and that the bid was not exces.
sive.
Architect Radcliffe who was present
was asked how much decoration there
was on the building and replied that
1t was down to the limit. There Is
not a hundred dollars difference In
the amount OF terra Gotta trimming
used between the two schools, It was
found.
Member Hamill declared that If
there was going to be an excess in
either building he wanted to see it go
to the Jefferson building rather than
the Garfield.
