MUSIC is the most beautiful
A'A recreation that the public
can obtain. Music is educational
entertaining, and recreational
The choral society is doing q
wonderful job in achieving the
aim that local IL, has set out to
obtain. 1t is thrilling the in
terest the girls are putting into
the thing, to be able to qualify
for the international convention
We had our business meeting
this week and the members ex-
pressed their view points on the
engagements that we have in the
making. 1t took much effort on
the part of our directresS, Mrs.
Davies, to be able to teach the
members of the society three
part singing. AS you all know
the biggest share of the group
do not have any musical train
ing, so it is much harder to
teach this type of people the val
ue of music, how to be able to
sing and carry tone in alto, or
second soprano, with out being
thrown off tract by somebody
that is singing a different part.
We have not a perfect record on
this part singing, but we are
getting better and, better all of
the time. After all practice
makes perfect, and this is just
the thing that we are doing.
Practice, Practice, Pra ct e.
Week in and week out the girls
are very industrious. Mrs. Davis,
has been doing very much, in
regards to getting the group
engagements. You know they
say that the more a person ap-
pears in public, the more sure
that he feel of hisself. Well this
is just the way that we feel a
bout it also. So we are taking
advantage of all the chances that
is offered us, little or big we will
tackle anything. 1t seems that we
can't be to bad for they always
ask us back. We have entertain
ed twice at the YWCA, and this
week we are going to sing at the
YMCA, for a vesper services.
Irene Morris, was the girl that
gets the credit for this engage
ment. In May we are going to
sing at the st. Vincent Hospital
Nurses commencement exervices,
now aint that wonderful? We
think it is. So with all of the
public appearances to our credit,
we feel sure that we can do a
very god job at the international
convention. We are getting a
way from those shakey knee
situations. With Jennie Delaney
aside of me when we sing and
the both of us shaking as if we
were in a marathon, seeing
which of us can shake the most
l think that it is just about a
tie. But with the indulgents of
Mrs. Davies and our engage
ments we have been brought un-
der control.
The Women's Guild are plan
ing a card party, that will be
held the week of April. They
would appreciate it, if every
body that likes to play cards,
would participate in this func-
ton. AS every body knows that
the Womens' Guild, was or
ganized to raise funds for the
Local IL summer camp and this
is just what they are doing. The
Saint Patricks day Dance was a
success. This card party will be
their second undertaking. Watch
the Journal for the exact day
and time. So all of the good
that said when they
had the dance, why don't you
have card party? dances are
for the young folks. So that is
just what we are doing trying to
please everybody.
The Womens committee held
their monthly board meeting last
Saturday with all of the mem
bers present except three. Their
main discussion was the setting
up a list of things that will be
needed to complete the womeff's
rooms. Some of the things that
we need are small filing cabi-
net, a typewriter, a mimograph
machine and some varnish to re-
finish and old desk so that it
will look respectable and a pad
lock for the closet door so that
we can keep our valueables in.
So if anyone has the access to
any of these things and would
ike to donate them to the Wom-
IN, please let us know.
