Piano Recital Given by Pupils of Miss
Gamsby

Miss Kate Gamsby, who has been
such successful teacher for a num-
Der of years, gave her annual piano
recital last evening at o'clock at
the Woman's Club. Many relatives
and friends of her interesting class
assembled for the occasion.
The recital proved one of the very
best yet given by Miss Gamsby and
all taking part in the program did
so with much credit to themselves
and their instructor. The anticipa-
tons of the listeners for a pleasant
two hours were more than fulfilled
as each number of the following
splendid program was rendered:

The youthful students all showed
careful training and remarkable
self -control. Their selections were
well chosen and most creditably rem
dered.
Where all did so well among the
seniors, it is impossible duly to ap-
preciate every merit, but special
mention could be made of the final
number rendered in a mastery style
by Miss Harold and the double duet
played by Misses Camp, Burford,
Glass and Gamsby. Perfect ease and
control, artistic Interpretation along
with precision characterized all the
work done by Miss Gamsby's pupils.
The leaflet programs distributed
by Miss Minnie Gamsby, bore the fol-
lowing appropriate and beautiful
quotation from Guizot:
emusic brings to the soul verita-
bic inward culture and is part of the
education of people"
An always interesting feature of
Miss Gamsby's recitals is the award
ing at the close of the program of
medals, which pleasant duty annual
ly falls to the happy lot of Judge w.
S. Bullock. After few felicitious
remarks, Judge Bullock announced
the winners in the senior and junior
class. Out of a possible 240 marks,
Miss Agnes Burford scored 23S,
thereby winning the gold medal. Fav-
orable mention was made of Misses
Rainsford Glass and Nine Camp, who
scored 236. In the junior class Car
olyn Peyser and Ralph Simmons tied
with score of 236 for first honors.
A silver medal was presented each.
The second best score, 235, was made
by Miss Margaret Gerig. 1t was
particularly pleasant for Judge Bull
lock to present the medal to Miss
Burford for on a former occasion,
when a member of the junior class,
he had the pleasure of awarding her
the silver medal. Those receiving
medals and favorable mention dem
onstrated in rendering their numbers
how worthy they are of the honors
received
To Miss Gamsby was presented a
handsome lorgnette bearing the love,
esteem and appreciation from her
class for her untiring energy and
competent and efficient instruction.
