Scraggs and McGuffey were not at all

Judge at their surprise, therefore,
when one morning who should appear

From the moment the curtain rose

moment in the performance of the
Americus High School Glee Club and

inimitable manner What is a Hedge

Divided honors were, perhaps, be

Virginia Perry, a brilliant high school
pianist, who rendered in remark
able manner a difficult composition,

background Of yellow and black, the
high school colors, the play was most
effective. Baskets of yellow peoples
tied with bows of yellow and black
Tulle stood against the columns Of
the stage, and soft lighting effects
added to the beauty Of the scene.
The overture was rendered i'm truly
musician-like style, all traces Of anna

rendered each part.
A special hit was made By Wissnq
Lucy Lane, Katherine Turner, Cor.

Harris and Louise Thayer, when they
gave by the Waters Of Mime

The performance was directed by
Miss Ella NJ. Polk, director of music
in the city schools, and to her un-
firing efforts, aided by the splendid
assistance rendered by each and cv-
cry member of the organization, is
due the remarkable success of the
evening. A gratifying amount was
realized from the sale of seats, and
today Miss Polk and her pupils feel
that Americas has indeed evidenced
the possibility Of good music and
splendid teaching being given. the
city schools.
