THE SCHOOL MUSICAL FESTIVAL A
| SUCCESS. Seldom, if ever, in recent
years have the pupils of the High, Grade
and Rural schools appeared in public
with so much credit to their instructor
as was the case of the music festival
| Friday evening in the Armory. 1t was
| also pleasure to note the apparent ef-
! fective discipline, which was not in the
| least obtrusive. When $50 pupils can be
massed as they were and kept in perfect
order it speaks louder than words of
credit to all. All the school selections
were of high class music and were given
with excellent time, expression and clear
enunciation under the direction of Mel
vile E. Chase, Supervisor of Music, with
Misses Alice Robbins and Ora Wade of
the B. H. S. as accompanies. The gen.
eral public, especially the teachers, realize
| the excellent work Mr.. Chase is doing in
| all the branches of his work. 1t is also a
pleasing fact that he has already won for
himself an envable place in the affection
and esteem of the pupils who enjoy doing
their best for him. Only recently have
come from Maiden, Mass, his home, un-
qualified commendation of him as a citi-
zen and as -an instructor. Mckeen's
orchestra furnished several we'll rendered
selections and their accompaniment tc
the "Clang of the Forge" by the chorus
was especially good. While the selec-
tions by the chorus were good those OF
Joshua by Chadwick and the closing
number, Prayer of Thanksgiving, from
the folk song of the Netherlands, were
received with the highest comment from
the best of judges. The Tinker's Song
!
the Girls Glee Club gave rare pleasure.
The bird songs by the little people of the
rural schools and the spring time songs
by the pupils of the Mcclellan and Peirce
schools were greatly enjoyed and it was
pleasant to note Mr.. Chase's unusual in
terest in their endeavors. The numbers
nv the r II 6 graduates of 1921 oave q
great deal of pleasure and showed talent
of a high order. Miss Elizabeth Kittredge
read a bright juvenile selec ton entitled
'The Incorrigible," lively boys expert
ence, and also responded with a well
rendered selection when "Father and
Mother are Sick" Miss Charlotte Knowl-
ease and in fine tones, to the accompani-
ment of Miss Beulah Young, also MEM
Der of the b. A. 5. class of 1921, the solo
Somewhere a Voice is Calling" and
very graciously responded to cordial
encore with a Negro Lullaby The in
strumental selection, The Elite Polka, by
Donald Knowton was omitted. The B.
H. S. pupils sat on terraced seats and en-
tirely filled the stage space, while the grade
and rural schools had seats on the front
floor-makina an inspiring spectacle to
all interested in the schools. A social
dance was enjoyed at the close of the
program.
