A GIFTED MUSICIAN

A GIFTED MUSICIAN
 Birmingham people are always glad to welcome new corners to the city and dou-
 bly, eager arc they to have those who
 are really worth while and will ada charm ana cultlrai inIiuenee rn ne So-
 cial and musical life. Mrs. Robert X. Akers, who has recently come here frcm
 Hattiesburg, Miss, belongs in the latter class, and she and her three lovely young
 daughters will be most cordially well comed in musical and social circles.
 Until few years ago Mrs. Akers re-
 sided in Cnatts-noos ga. a. "i, LIe eve
 of her departure for Mississippi, the Lookout, an exclusive society paper, said in producing lovely picture of her:
 The accompanying picture of Mrs. Akers, for a few months resident or Chattanooga, will interest her acquaint- ances and friends in musical and social
 circles. Mrs. Akers' beautiful soprano
 voice was heard several times at the First Baptist church, where she sang solos at the morning services occasion ally.
 Mrs Akers' voice would have been notable addition to Chattanooga's mu- sical fraternity. but her professional en- agreements have called her away and she will make her home in Hartiesourg. Mrs Akers has a high, pure coloratura voice of tender and charming quality. which she ~~ able in both ballad and coloratura work and her exact control in pianissim and mega voce give hef singing that distinc- ton that marks the true artist Mrs Alers aas ro s'. re ve reper- ! tory of modern songs and high-class op- cratic arias, and is especially Well l equipped for concert singing. She pos marked degree, entering into the spivit | of her songs with an intelligence Of ih- I depreciation that is at once recoghizeu | by any audience. Her friends in Chatea-
 nooga will wish her much success III no' future musical career, and hope that sne will again favor this city with visi' l then circness a 1fes perm t.
 The Hattiesburg American recently
 said:

SENIOR CLASS ELECTION
 AT CENTRAL HIGH

One of the greatest, if not the greatest event, that takes place in any high school or college is the election of it's senior
 class officials Toward the continuation of this event everyone looks forward
 with great anticipation, and in many cases with much speculation, as to who will receive these highest honors offered by the body of high school or college stu- dents.
 The election of senior class officers of Central High school is usually held dur ing the latter part of October, or first of November, but because of the absence frcm the city of Principal Dr. Charles
 A. Brown, on account of illness, the cleo tion was postponed until December. Dr. BT own arrived in the city last week, hale
 and hearty, and the school slipped back to normal again.
 The election was begun Tuesday, De- cember 21, the first four officers were elected, and then the class adjourned to- meet the following day, Wednesday, De-
 cember p. at which time the remaining
 officers were elected. Selection of class colors, motto and flower will be carried over until after the holidays, commit tees having been appointed to act upon these important factors of the class. This class is marked by two unusual features, One is that the president, with his ex- tremely democratic ideas, shares his hon. ors with the entire class as he refers to each of them and thinks of each of them as co-presidents of the class. It is further marked by the utter absence of any click or secret combination of clubs as have invaded some classes of the past. each member acting entirely of his own accord and mind.
 The shonors are well distributed in the entire number of clubs, as can readily be seen at a glance, with one exception and anyone familiar with the school history will admit that it has been some time
 since this club attained such a victory. MT. Harry Bryan of the Yancey will be the one on whom will rest the respon- sibility of keeping the class together as i it goes down through the corridors of time. He is to be especially congratulat- ed Those who received honors and the clubs they represent, are as follows: President, Shelby c. Patton, Hiliiard; vice president, Dorothy Winters, Astraea; recording secretary, Douglas Hester. Hil-
 Hard; corresponding secretary. Harry
 Bryan. Yancey; treasurer. Fred Carter Hilliard: prophet, Kathleen Wheelock,
 Clio; historian, Lucille Vintson, Aglaia; orator, Easley Blackwood, Curry; sta
 tistician, Welford Wells. Hilliard; poet,

In addition to these offices Mrs. Akers was treasurer of the State Fedora tion of Music Clubs for the past two years.

FRITZ KREISLER
 MUSICAL PATHFINDER"

It is of great interest to music lovers
 to know that Fritz Kreisler. the emi-
 nent violinist who will be heard here in concert, presented by the "All-Star
 Concerts" on Wednesday evening, Ja-
 uary. 5. at the Jefferson, has plaeeo himself in position which has caused
 the great musicians of the world to
 owe him a real debt of gratitude
 It is well known to all that the reper-
 toire of the violin is surprisingly small
 compared with that of the piano Tor example, and those who have gone to violin recitals in the past and have had
 to content themselves with parts or the
 whole of concertos with piano accom- paniment and with unaccompanied Bacn
 pieces, realize that they were not the most stirring of musical events.
 Mir Kreisler, who is a deep student
 of the literature of music, realized this
 years ago. and he decided to mark out new path for himself Buried in H.
 braries and musical collections in 1taly' and France were vast quantities of nut sic by composers long forgotten. who
 flourished, particularly in Italy, during the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
 turies. At that time the violin was
 more generally cultivated than 1t is
 today, and a vast amount of music was
 written for it. For years Kreisler gave great part of his time to hunting up
 and going over this, separating the
 wheat from the chaff. As result of his search, he unearthed much very
 beautiful music which was well worthy i, of place on recital programme. Moreover, he made number of ar engagements of smaller compositions by modern composers with the result that his recital programmes became a model
 which all other violinists are following. CHRISTMAS DANCE
 A formal dance will be given by 150 men
 of the younger society set at the Country club Thursday evening.
 The club will be decorated in the Christmas colors
