wt- ' 2 3 +5 gg J L ' A .fi 1. A 5' iml:5 .lL u,-3 I -sf g f- 87 f'The Lost Chord Cwith solo by Karen Wfhitej Girls' Glee Club This concert was given both at the Rink and at the Country Church at Scandinavia, drawing large crowds both times. Une Sunday was spent in giving the concert at VVittenberg Cin the afternoonj and at Elderon Cin the eveningj. The members of the organization were entertained at the Indian Mission at Wfit- tenberg for supper. The concert was also given at Rosholt, lVinchester, New Hope. lola, and Nelsonville. It was appre- ciated by all who attended and we were given invitations to come again. This year the Girls' Glee Club gave a cantata, Garden of Flowers in the Rink, Saturday evening, November 25th. under the supervision of Miss Grasby. lt was very well rendered and appreciated. The stage was fittingly decorated with all the colors of roses and chrysaiithemums known to flower-land. They clung to the walls, grew over the trellises, and here and there en- twined each other in their care-free manner. This beautiful scene was only an introdu-ction to Fairy land. But now,-at the call of the tinkling sound of the piano lceys, so well mastered by the accompanist, all the little Fairies awoke. First came the dancing butterflies, and after them trip- ped the lark and the nightingale, and even a buzzing bee, and tlien all the sweet rose-buds. The first song was The Mornf' it was a summons to the dawn of the Fairy day. The larlc and the nightingale then clirped their lays, after which the butterflies presented their cause. One of the rose buds then sang an alto solo. The chorus sang of the Summer Breezesl' which steal so softly along to soothe the flowers. lt is now summer time in this pretty bower and the bee is also busy. She sang of her work, and at intervals the chorus also sang. 'fThe Happy Streamletf' a soprano solo, was sung by one of the fairies. Wfe know that Fairy-clay is very short so after the chorus had sung their 'lGood Night. they tripped away from sight again. During the intermissions the orchestra rendered various se- lections. 'Carden of Flowers Chorus- The Moria A - Duet: The Lark and the Nightingale -Alice Trinrud, Elma hlole. Duet: XWhite Butterflies -Sigrid Thompson, Helga hfasted.

86 25 lmw f music. The war has stirred the very depths of life. through music we find relief in expressing emotions otherwise inarticu- late. Harmony of word and tone somehow draw us more close- ly together for the common ordeal. Music, whether for those serving at home or on the firing line, brings comfort and inspira- tion, it lifts the spirit above thebarbarity -of the fight and the materialism of the work into things of the spirit-the meaning of the struggle. Music will soothe and hearten us for the light that must be won-it will help us on to victory. These words have proven to be a correct prophecy. Central Wfisconsin College considers music as one of its important branches of work. Two music teachers are engaged. This year they are Miss Millie Grasby, who has charge of the instrumental and theoretical part of the work, and Mrs. H. C. Smeby, who is the vocal instructor. Last year Miss Grasby organized a girls' Glee Club of thir- ty-eight membersg a Girls' Quartette, composed of Karen- Wfhite, Thelma Leean, Margaret Bestul, and Edna Mastedg and a Male Quartette-Teddy Haines, Gustave Roalquam, Harlan Peterson and Phillip Hiller. They practiced earnestly during the winter months and gave the following concert at several of the neigh- boring towns: Moonlight Meadows Loves Qld Sweet Song Glaf Trygvassonn Cwith solo by Thelma Leeanj Girls' Glee Club Reading-Edith Anderson Canoe Song , Holy is His Name f'Amaryllis 'lPleecy Clouds Cwith violin obligato by Karen 'Whitej UGobble Duet Girls!
