Tu rple GPatches Music At the end of last year those of us who were coming back to Harcum this fall felt a little frightened, when we realized how many of our best music students were graduating. But we have no fear now, we are inspired by our new fellow-workers in music, and are doing our best not to fall behind in the march of musical progress. We welcome our new talent, enjoy it, and expect great things from it. The new girls, recital was an interesting, though slightly diflicult, event of the first week of school. The performers could not help feeling a little nervous and the old girls were a little nervous for them. How- ever, the program moved along very smoothly, and after it was over the new girls thought- How silly to have been scared? We are de- lighted to have five new singers this year along with the greater number of pianists, and shall look forward with more pleasure than ever before to the musicales With the added attraction of vocal selections. This year, Mrs. Harcum plans to have the musicales given every two Weeks. Their frequency as well as the fact that they are to take place in the studio! removes the tense awesomeness of the occasion and produces a more relaxed and home-like atmosphere. There have been several musicales since the very first one-each more successful than the preceding one and showing more poise and self-assurance on the part of the girls. George Boyle, well-known pianist, teacher and composer, is a member of the music faculty this year. We feel privileged and honored. He gave a recital at school Friday evening, October fifteenth. We came away breathless at the amazing ease of his technique, and uplifted and inspired by the interpretation of the music itself. He played a very interesting program, and was most generous in his encores. PROGRAM fl-?ralzms . ..... Rhapsodie in G minor Schumann Q A .
