church Monday night. given by the
janiOr class of Miss Beatrice shelton,
as benefit for the local Buy Scouts,
membsrs Of whose organization. in
uniform, served as ushers. They were
Arthur Hamilton, Ralph Baker, Her
bert Soeolofsky, Harold Soeolofsky,

Much enthusiasm was shown by the
pupils in preparing this especial pro-
gram, and each was deserving Of in
diyidual eommendatiOn.
Harold Cook spoke in behalf of the
Boy Scouts, the sum of ten dollars re-
sulting from the silver offering taken.
The assistants on the program were
Miss La Won Coppoek who gave
clever impersonatiOn; Helen Cornelius
and Delbert Moore, violinists, and Miss
Ruth Bedford, aecompanist. The work
of each was exceptionally good, little
Miss Cornelius giving "Gondellied"
(David) aud "Flowers and Ferns"

poetic, and her tones good. Delbert
MoOre's numbers were 'Sing, Smile,
Slumbern (Gounod), "Air Varie" No.
(Danela,) and he also appeared in
the final selection "Airs of our Coun-
try" and "Star Spangled Banner"
(Reeker) with Wayne Allen at the .pi-
ano He adapted himself easily to the
various styles of music, playing with
noticeable poise.
IL TrOvatore (PauD by Flora Fletch-
er and Ruth Page, two very musical
girls, was given in good time and un-
derstanding.
Winifred Rinehart in Mazurka de
Concert (Pessardl, playing without the
music showed much ability, the com
position requiring considerable tech
nique.
Waterfall (Smith and Scandinavian
Dance (Peterson) by Elva Amsler was
also given without the aid of notes.
Both her selections were difficult to
interpret, depending upon the musician
for their musical quality, a difficulty
which she seemed to easily surmount
A song, The Dells Where the Bntter
Cups Grow (Barrettl by Flora and
Lorraine Fletcher revealed the sweet
ness and freshness of their voices.
They responded to an encore.
Talent and good training were hap
PLY combined in Wayne Aliens work
in Pomponnette (Durand) and Battle
Cry of Freedom (Renk) 1t is not often
that boy of his age is found who
displays so much interest in musical
things, and that he will succeed with
this especial instrument was apparent.
The attractive melody of Telma 8
Remembrance, was brought out by
Ruth Page, the number proving to be
particularly suited to her.
The only number with two pianos,
Valse Impromptu (Bachmann), was
given by Frances Ward and Maycle
Hunter, who happily anticipated each
others mood and intention. Both have
much talent, displaying fine sense OF
rhythm.
Two entirely diverse numbers Vene-
tian Boat Song (Nevin) and Ballette
(Massenett), were played from memo
ry .by Flora Fletcher. She put her best
into each bringing out their full beau
ty.
1t is not an every day opportunity
that one has of hearing a chorus OF
young voices, so fresh and musical, as
that which sang Warhurst S Welcome
Pretty Primrose. 1t was well balanced,
prettily blended and was trained by
Miss Ada Miller. The sopranos were
Frances Ward, Macyle Hunter, Flora
Fletcher, Ruth Page; altos Margaret
White, Eva Miles, Elsie Victor
Macyle Hunter had her particular
place in a double number, Arbesque
,Helmund) and Romance (Friml). She
is very musical displaying much tenn
permanent. Her work as an accompanlst
was quite unusual for so young per-
former.
Goddard's second Mazurka, a COM
position that requires thoughtful III
depreciation was intelhgently handled
by Frances Ward, who has much self
possession, firm touch and a good
understanding of musical values. She
showed her ability further in her sing
ing Come for It's June (Forster). Her
voice is sweet, with a sympathetic
quality She responded with an encore.
A decorative committee composed of
Alta johnson and Genevieve Endicott
