Last Saturday evening, May 9Th,
| Mrs. c. Steinberger assisted by the
Wa-Keeney Band and Miss Philbrook' s
class gave her annual recital at the
Court House. Invitations had been
issued and large audience both from
town and country gathered to enjoy
this annual musical treat. The music
by the band which has only been
organized few months and is making
a good and rapid progress under the
dictatorship of c. Steinberger was
much enjoyed The folk gamec by
Miss Philbrook,s class of little folks
were very prettely executed and were
much appreciated. From the writer S
point of view the parents of the pupils
who took part in the recital have
every right TO be exceedingly proud
of the manner in which their work
was executed. From year to year, and
yet a year is a comparatively short
time too. the real progress and i'm
provement is very apparent to those
who observe work along musical lines.
The accuracy, the beauty of touch
and the careful rendition of selections
ranging from simple to very classical
and difficult compositions shows first
