PIANO RECITAL
WAS EXCELLENT
PUPILS OF SPOKANE PIANIST
GIVE PLEASING PROGRAM IN
THE HIGH SCHOOL

The piano recital at the high school
last Saturday night given by the
pupils of Mr.. Louis Des Voignes, of
Spokane. deserves mention in seurseol-
umns. The program was so well
arranged and SO varied in style of
composition, that the large audience
was highly pleased and their appre-
citation of the students work was
manifested by the applause. The
rendition of the several numbers by
each young girl showed the ability of
Mr. Des Voignes as an instructor, as
we'll as the work and time the student
had given for the recital. Mr.. Des
Voignes is Moscow boy, having
spent the greater part Of his school
years at the university, but later fin
ishing his musical education abroad,
where he was at the time the war
started. For the past ten years he
has had a class in piano in Moscow,
coming from his studio in Spokane
each week end. On Thursday and
Friday nights of this week he pre-
sents his students of piano in Spo-
kane in recitals, at which time sew
eral of those who played Saturday
will, give numbers.
