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. Alto Solo: Lovely Rosebudsn-Edith Anderson.

This orchestra has played for sev- eral ot the basket ball games as well as various other occasions. Music, in the form of vocal solos, duets, quartettes, and instrumental numbers or all kinds, appears on all programs given at the collegeg at least Whenever possible. There are always several musical numbers on our literary programs, for we all agree that a program of only literary numbers is rather monot- onous to the audience. 'VVe use the Lutheran Hymnary every day at chapel exercises, also at the Thursday evening prayer meetings. b . We are fortunate as students of C. W. C. in having an op- portunity to hear good music-may we learn to appreciate it. Martin Luther, whom we all respect and honor, said, Music is one of the most magniticient and delightful presents God has given us. Next to theology I give it the highest place and honor.
