They spent a week in a Norman

knew that Andre was an only child
and that his mother had died years
before. He knew only that she was
an orphan. She wished that she
had told him of Terry. She didn't
like the idea of their having Sc

could tell herself honestly that she
had been SO carried on by the
swiftness of their courtship and
marriage, that she had not thought
of what she should have told him,

An authority in the field OF band

sional musician as a member OF
his fathers band in st. Joseph,
Mo-, at the age of six. He was
for eleven years assistant conduc-
tor and trombone soloist with
Sousa and has led his own inter-
nationally famous band for more
than 80 years. He is well known
as a composer, probably the great
est trombonist of all time and as
the successor to the mantle of
Sousa, since the latter's death.
He and Sousa, more than any
others, were responsible for the
development of the band from

so attentive, that Suzy's fears would
vanish. What had she to fear, she
would ask herself at times. The
heart Of the older man went out
to her when he sensed that she
was unhappy and worried about
other things than the hazards of
war.
But all the days were not bur-
dened with fears and h~eartaches.
There was, for instance, the day
that Andre was being decorated for
"valor and courage beyond the call
of duty" The Baron had been i'll,
but he reproached himself for not
having insisted on Suzy's going to
witness and share in Andres tri-
umph. For his peace of mind, it
was as well that he did not know
that another woman was at the fly
ing field that day-Madame de Cha
bris. Andre and she had known
each other but a few weeks-she
had a chateau near the village
but they had spent much time to-
gether.

Jolly Sixteen
Autumn Recital
Decided Success
By Edward Hayes

The musical recital sponsored by
the Jolly Sixteen Club at st. Peter
A. M. E. church, Minneapolis, last
Friday was a delightful treat.
The recital was opened with a
piano solo by Marion Smith, little
lady not yet in her teens" whose
training was unusual for one of her
years. Madam Eva Walker Carr
Taylor presented group of read
ings which were ably executed and
favorably received by the audience.
The program included two lyric
baritones, Wendell C. Jones and
John Waters, both of whom chose
decidedly difficult selections, each
capably rendered, showing beauti-
full middle voices. The three lovely
soprano voices were as varied as
they were beautiful. Miss Anne
Pearl Horris showed a light, sweet,
very well trained voice, while Miss
June Hawkins displayed a fiery,
emotional voice with great volume,
a very well controlled top tone.
Miss Freeman gave her audience
a well conceived song full of beau
tiful coloring. The group known
as the Musical Notes were at their
best. They presented three num-
bers of which the highlight of the
evening was their arrangement Of
the Lords Prayer" The group is
composed of five very talented
voices who should go far in the
music world. 1t is impossible to
say too much of their abilities.
Miss Dorothy Pittman, who &C
companied all the artists, scored
in her Interpretation of Rude
Blooms "Song of the Bayou" a
very intricate composition played
on the organ. For her encore she
chose another Of the same compos-
er's numbers, "Soliloquy." The
program as a whole was an inter-
esting and entertaining example
of what our local artists can do if
properly encouraged.
