The foregoing program was rem
dered at the court room last Friday
night by the Certificate Glass OF the
students of Mrs. Steinberger's studio.
The class is composed of Miss Mar
garet Hardman and Miss Clara Glib
son. They were assisted by the Wa
Keeney band, Mrs. 1. w. Tennell and
Rev. w. r. Woodward. These two
young ladies represent the first GER
tificate class from Mrs. Steinberger's
musical studio and obtain their GER
tificates after they have finished
prescribed course contained in the
history, harmony and execution of
music. The large court room was
completely filed and to all those who
enjoy musical program this one was
a source of delight and satisfaction.
The good assistance rendered by
the Wa-Keeney band, and especially
the number containing the baritone
solo by Arthur Keraus was very much
appreciated and enjoyed. Those who
hear the band play from time to time
both notice the Improvement made
in quality and music rendered.
In the two vocal selections by Mrs.
1. w. Tennell, she again enraptured
a Wa-Keeney audience with her
sweet, clear soprano voice and the
applause which followed showed that
her efforts were greatly appreciated.
In his address to the graduates
the Rev. Woodward spoke along the
advantages of a musical education
not only from social standpoint and
the comfort and satisfaction it may
be to ones self or friends and assoc
iates but of the ability to give ex-
pession to thoughts and feelings in
combination of harmonious sounds.
I'll
awakened new life and aspirations
in one who has become detected Or an
outcast; they carry US back in mem
ory to the days of childhood or in
advance to the coming of old age.
Music will incite men to war or
sooth and calm the weary sufferer
from disease and pain. 1t is the voice
of nature and the expression of the
thoughts of the innermost soul.
In presenting the certificates to
the members of the class, Mrs
Steinberger gave expression to a
special interest and feeling of devo-'
ton, feeling that the two young
ladies were all her own in musical
accomplishments. She has taken
them through all the instruction
they have had. They have been her
pupils from the very beginning and
she rejoices with them in their ac-
complishment and presented the GER
tificates as indeed reward of merit.
AS to Miss Hartman and Miss Glib
son and their selections chosen for
the recital, enough cannot be said.
Their accomplishment in the musical
line is, indeed, unusual for ladies of
their age. The musical rendering of
one and the artistic action of the
other is a combination which made
pleasing to the audience the difficult
numbers on their program The sell
ection deserving of special mention
was the 'Poet and Peasant" played
as a duet on two pianos. Several very
pretty boquets of roses and other
flowers were given the young ladies
as tokens of appreciation.
