CHURCH CONCERT
The Ellisons did it again. On
May 2, last Sunday afternoon
before a most appreciative au-
dience, Ruth Ellison, mezzo-so-
prano and Henry Ellison, bass
baritone, along with accomp-
anist and featured pianist An
ne Vuolo, presented one of the
finest concerts this city has
had the privilege to enjoy VIII
lie the inclement weather tn
warted the anticipated eapac-
ity gathering, there was never
theless a good attendance of
concert patrons to greet the
artists in the lovely auditor
UNI of the Hobbs Jr. High Sch
DOL. Patrons included the lead
ing citizens of Medford, among
them Mayor and Mrs. ohm C.
Carr Jr., and Judge and Mrs.
Lawrence G. Brooks. Singing
in solo and as duo, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellison portrayed the
works of Handel, Mozart, Bee
thoven, Burleigh and Deems
Taylor, among other great COM
poSerS. And they sang with a
soul stirring beauty which en-
thralled the audience. The
program of presentations varied
through a popular range of
public favorites, always well
received. In this category of
songs were Mr.. Ellison's my
Lady Walks in loneliness,
New Born Again, "If L Could
Tell YOU water Boy, and
"Where're You Walk. Mrs. FL
lison's list included ave Maria"
They Led My Lord Away, "His
Name So Sweet, and Miriam
da". The duo were superb in
the concluding numbers, Deep
River, and Go Down Moses"
The accompaniment of Miss
Vuolo, a true artist in her own
right, shared the applause of
the Ellisons. This was indeed
one of the true blue ribbon
concerts of Medford's history.
The fact that it was promoted
by a small group Of volunteers
with limited finance and facil-
tiles is an additional reason
why all those concerned deserve
bouquets of public praise. There
is always hope in any COM
munity willing to tackle big
projects. Not too many years
ago, Medforites presented The
Southernaires. In years to come
the Lionel Hamptons, Duke Ell
lingtonS, Ella FitzgeraldS, and
other artists may come to Med
ford just as easily as Boston.

last Sunday were Lorraine Hen
derson, Leona Langford, Ann
Hayes, Marjory Henderson, Bet
Sy Lanford, Ann Fisher, Carol
Houston, lilly Lambert, Ar
ronetta Brown, Sylvia Crowelli,

the recent big High School Music
Festival, Ann Hayes and Es-
Their FUR, both students of Mrs.
Evans, were among the three
MHS pianists chosen from all
the rest, to play as accompa-
nistS in the Festival, a real
outstanding honor. Both girls
are popular in school events
and Ann appeared on TV with
the Medford High Talent Show
not long ago. Don't forget the
