The excellence of the Music depart
meth of Fassifern school was exhibited
to the community when the pupils of
Miss Chelian Pixley, directress OF
music and of Miss Isabel Pixley, head
of the voice department rendered
Gounod's Gallia Sunday afternoon at
st. James church. The efficiency of
their instruction was evidenced by the
concord of the chorus, and the accuracy
Of time and expression.
Miss Chelian Pixley played the ac-
compartment and, though she had an
organ decidedly inferior to the neces-
sites of the occasion manipulated both
stops and keys in. a mastery way. The
congregation was favored with the
lovely voice of Miss Isabel Pixley in a
beautiful sool.
Hendersonville music lovers are an
ticipating much pleasure / hearing an

The girls basket ball teams of the
Asheville and Hendersonville high
schools engaged in an interesting
game on the Hendersonville court Sat
urday afternoon. The result was a
victory for Asheville wit ha score of II
to 1. The game was unique in that il
was the first time in history that a
girls basket ball team of Henderson
vile yer took part in a match game.
The home team has been handicapped
throughout the whole year by the lack
OF a court to practice on, and the Ashe-
vile team only recently returned from
a series of games in Raleigh. Durham,
and Greensboro. The HendersonYille
coach had anticipated a victory for
Asheville with q score of so or 40 to 0
SO was thoroughly gratified when her
! team held the score SO law as theyidid.
The team was outmatched by the
visitors in seI~f-confidence. though the
playing of Miss Anne Crinkley was in
spring through the game.
The spectators, generally, lent en-
couragement to the players.
