1 hinhnrn Alumni On the evening of May 10th. in the remodeled and redecorated auditorium in Nor- mal Hall, Pietro Yon, Italian composer and organist, gave a delightful concert in dedica- tion of the pipe organ presented to the school by its alumni and other friends and recent- ly completed. Mr. Yon's well balanced program included such classic numbers as Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, a sonata by Pagella, and an interesting group of Mr. Yon's own compositions. Among the mo-st plea.sing of these numbers were the skilfully writ- ten work in double canon form entitled Echo , a humorous imitation of a. medieval porta- ble organ, 'iL'0rga.no Primitive , and the justly celebrated Gesu Bambino . As encores the artit played two of his compositions, the Italian Rhapsody, based upon popular folk music and Peidmontes-e dances, and Christmas in Sicily. The latter number had its origin in Mr. Yon's visit to Southern Italy, which is quite different from his own home in the Italian Alps. 'The native 'Christmas music of the Sicilians, played upon bagpipes and instruments similar to the oboe, attracted the composer and he wove this characteristic music into an interesting composition. The artist's interpretation of each of the numbers which he played in this recital was remarkably sympathetic, show- ing strength and energy of expression coupled with the reserve and delicacy which mark the true artistg and at the same time affording those interested in the organ an oppor- tunity of gaining some idea of the range of its possibilities. Before the recital began Mr. Ned Goodell, '91, on behalf of the alumni presented the organ to the school, in a few well chosen words pledging anew the loyalty and support of which this gift affords such convincing evidence. The organ was accepted and the thanks of the Board of Trustees and the School were tendered the givers, by Mr. Turner W. Shacklett, for many years one of Edinboro's staunch friends. With so splendid an ad- dition to her equipment Edinboro becomes increasingly capable of ministering to the edu- cational needs of the Commonwealth she serves. illlrrrrr Alumni Banquet Monday evening, October 4th, in the Methodist Church at Mercer there gathered a happy throng of former Edinboro students to honor their Alma Mater and bask in the memories of their happiest days. During the County Institute week of 1919, the Alumnae of Edinboro who were serving in many capacities throughout Mercer county, formed an association which would meet each year and keep in touch with all former graduates, become acquainted with new ones, and as a united body strive to keep alive all the old interests and develop the new ones for the welfare of Edinboro. The banquet was prepared and served by the ladies of the church, who were en- titled to the cordial thanks of everyone present for the sumptuous repast which they provided. Some of the earliest classes were represented, as well as the youngest class. and there were representatives from many classes scat-tered in -between. Members of the -pres- ent Faculty helped to swell the number, and they brought in abundance the spirit of progress and uplift, which is the outstanding Edinboro characteristic. Mr. Earle Bruner, '01, superintendent of the George Junior Republic at Grove City, acted as toast master and made us proud to have shared in mutual experiences. Mr. C. C. Crawford spoke for New Edinboro and assured us that a new and bright tu- ture was in store for the school and those to whom it extended its guidance and influ- ence. Mrs. Ella Broadbent, '90, talked of 'tOld Edinboro , and Miss Catherine Brianard, '19, gave a summary of two years at Edinboro in her talk D0nlt You Remember? Mr. Bates and Doctor Mudge of the present faculty were liberal in sharing with us their jubilant songs. During the entire evening Edinboro yells and songs made the church parlors ring and everyone felt that they were a. part of E. S. N. S. once again. The characteristic when good fellows get together spirit predominated, and it was decided to make the reunion an annual event. - p Miss Lrcittn BICCONNELL. Miss Ann EVELYN Joni-ts. K
