The students musical at Memorial
Baptist Church. Rice and Fuller, Tues.
day, April 28, under the auspices OF
Memorial B. Y. P. u, was favored with
a very large and appreciative mixed
audience, and when l voice my senti-
ments know all present will agree
with me when say the students
musical will go down in history in a
class alone, as it was the equal OF any
given by our group anywhere in the
Northwest.
On entering one was led to expect
great things, the church being artistical-

large palm. A large wicker chair oc-
cupied the far corner: two beautiful
floor lamps also were used; one for
the chair and the other by the piano.
To see the young lady ushers in white,
presenting you with a printed program,
and to see the president of the Union
and his assistants walking around in
their Tuxedos, started you to thinking
were you dreaming or were you still
in St. Paul. Taking my seat just back
of two prominent citizens of our race,
| happened to overhear their conversa-
ton. One said that he could not stay
very long as he had to go to his lodge,
for they had "hog killing" but when
the program started that brother forgot
everything, for he was there when the
last number appeared I cannot blame
him for staying. for no one could leave
willingly until he had seen it all. From
the very beginning to the end one
never knew what to expect, for they en-
tered the auditorium from the rear
room. ST. Paul has never witnessed
such a gathering of young people, dis
playing their beautiful gowns and their
wonderful talent

an injustice if I did not make mention
of two numbers, one a vocal solo by
Margaret L. Parke, Nobody Knows
the Trouble I've Seen," by H. T. Bur-
leigh; the other reading, "The I'm
sung Hero" by Eula Belle Moore.
These two numbers brought the audi

Every number was rendered with a
real artistic touch and highly appre-
ciated by the audience. Those appear
