The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-02-24

Despite the inclement weather, the
students who gave the programme at
the "All School Concert" Tuesday ev-
ening were greeted by a capacity
house.
The programme was not so much
in the nature of concert performance
as it was an exhibition of the daily
class room work done in the music
department of our city schools. The
entertainment at this time was by way
Of a tribute to what is called National
music week."
The outlined programme was given
in ten divisions, each division being
composed of from one to five or more
members.
Under division one, the high school
orchestra made it's initial appearance
in an opening Overture and was greet
ed with enthusiastic applause. This
number was particularly enjoyable.
The personnel of the orchestra is as
follows: violins, Ruth Behner, Eva
Frazer, Francis Hoffman, Glen Brown
ing, Erma Shoemaker and Casper
Oberg; cornet, Claire Mills; clarinet.
Marian Mcfarland; mandolins, Mar
garet Kline and Clark Wisburger;
piano, Julia Murray, and drums, Tom
Herring, who is also leader of the
orchestra.
In division two, the group of songs
entitled "Small songs for small sing
ers" by grades one and two we're sur
prisingly well sung. The song "The
Whippoorwill" was especially clever.
The "Vowell song" by five tiny tots
from grade one, north side school was
effective by each tot holding a pla-
card with vowel printed on it. In
5 this group "Soldier Lad', sung by
Paul Hoffman in military uniform,
q was we'll received as was the duet by
: Lucille Brohson and Morris Weber.
e The group Of songs in division three
were sung by pupils of the fourth,
BILE singing was good. FAIRY Crew.,
with whistling part and "Cuckoo"
are worthy of special mention. Rueben
Lewow, in singing "The Little Phil
osopher", was especially entertaining
and was obliged to respond to an en-
core.
In division four the three selections
by the grade school orchestra were
worthy Of the highest praise. This
was the first appearance of this or
chestra also and too much cannot be
| said in the way Of commendation of
t their playing. The following people
1 compose this orchestra: violins, Paul
r Woodward, Paul Etchepare and Cas-
. per Oberg; cornets, Claire Mills and
s James Woodward.
Division five contained several
6 choice selections, namely, fine violin
). solo by Casper Oberg, remarkable
cornet duet by Claire Mills and James
D Woodward, clever French song by
r Angela, Paul and Ralph Etchepare
: and pleasing voice trio.
v A girls chorus, in gay gypsy cos
t tunes, gave the group of songs in
v division six. The number entitled the
). "Gypsy Camp, featuring solo dance
n by Yetta Lewow, is worthy Of special
q mention. The dance was gracefully
/. and we'll given and the swaying ac-
s compartment by the gypsy chorus was
# very pleasing and effective.
n Division seven featured the song en-
Q titled "Grumbling Tom" which was
q well sung by Richard Hoppin, Charles
q Hoffman, Cecil Meier, J. w. Halliday
O and Lawrence Bretzke.
The high school Girls Glee Club
gave two worth while selections in
:, their usual pleasing manner, as the
= group comprising division eight.
" Division nine contained two groups
of songs given by the seventh and
" eighth grade Girls chorus. The Anvil
chorus by Verdi was especially we'll
i sung.
) Two extra numbers aside from the
y regular programme were given. One
e was a fine essay on "Music", read by
o Eitari Etow who won second prize Of
y fered for the best essay on this sub
ject. The other was delightful trio
l, with Miss Mona Frazer as first So
S prano, Cecilia Gritz as second and
e Thelma Trace as alto.
Those assisting outside of the faculty
and student body were Mrs. Chris
Hanson, at the piano, and Mr.. Strauss
' who took Tom Herring's place in the
orchestra owing to the illness of the
e latter.
l, The entertainment served to DEM
onstrate the fact that the musical
e talent of the pupils of the city schools
d is being discovered and developed un-
der the correct SupervisiOn and in
: struction of the director of music of
l, our city schools, Miss Thornburg.
