Two English country dances by a group of senior girls and a solo dance by Miss Florine Scofield were included on the programme.
 l The evenings program was of wide range, providing for excellent solo work l for the wind instruments, and the en- l semble of the entire orchestra was ex- cellent.

Particular ly fine were the Overture, Morning, Noon and Night (Von Suppe), Non E Yer 1 (MatteD and Godards beautiful Adagio 1 Pathetique. The always lovely Blue Danube Waltz, rendered with fine stac- cato effect, closed a splendidly propor- toned and well rounded program, after which the school song was played, with l the audience standing.
