i evening presented the first of a
series of commencement recitals in

class of 1881, who receive their grad
uate diplomas, was demonstrated.
Priscilla Woodley, pianist, played the
Beethoven Sonata OPP. 10, No. 3" in
its entirety with particular excellence

rangement of the Bach &c Major

EFT Stevens gave an intelligent and eX-
ceedingly musical Interpretation to the
Bach Fl Sharp Major Prelude and
Fugue" and to two Chopin numbers
which, though of smaller caliber, were
tests of the young performers discrim-
NATIVE taste. The De Falla Fire
Dance" lies quite within the scope of
this pianist's equipment and he gave it
a highly stylistic reading. Constance
Gustat. soprano, has a voice of con-
siderable promise which is evidently
undergoing careful development; her
musicianShip is far from negligible as
senet louvre ties yeux bleu," the ST.
bella "Villanella" and Sanderson's val
ley of Laughter"
The other participant was Hans
Male, violinist, who played the Handel
Sonata in A Major" and the Brahms
"a Major Waltz" with a poem By
Fibich as his final number. A tone
of pleasing quality and acceptable in
terpretations characterized Mr.. Males
