SONG Recital.

The only graduate voice reci-
tai to be given this year at Cen
trail College was sung Thursday
evening in MurrelI Auditorium
by Miss Iona May Liller, A
heavy rainstorm at the hour of
the recital kept many town
friends from hearing it, and
prevented tn e accompanies,
Miss Gelzer, from arriving until
the second part of the program.
Miss Carver, the voice teacher,
rose to the emergency and play
ed for the first three groups.
The program was carefully
chosen to conserve the natural
gifts Of the singer and indicate
the training she has undergone
at Central. Her voice is a pleas
ing lyric soprano of good range.
She exhibited many points of a
careful student and her pro-
gram which is appended was
creditable exposition of Miss
i Carver's teaching.
