Turple Tatches Uselma Smith, author of Keyboard Harmony , is with us again this year for harmony instruction. Miss Lois Haupt is giving a lecture course in music appreciation, which we enjoy very much. She is greatly interested in the teaching of music composition to children, and has done some unusual and original work with them. Miss Conger has charge of the chapel singing as well as the Glee Club. We have always taken great pride and pleasure in the Glee Club, and are enjoying our morning usingsi' in chapel more than ever before. ' PERSONALS Margery Atwater shows great poise and self-confidence in her work. Penelope Tarwater's playing indicates a great deal of talent though Mrs. Harcum thinks that just at present there is a little stiffness in it. Jane Pendleton always plays with ease and self-assurance. We feel that she shows more maturity and grace in her playing this year than she did last. Alma Polhemus has nice feeling. We are not well enough acquainted with her playing to make detailed comments, but we are anxious to hear her again soon. ' Betty Sibbett is a talented pianist whose tones are particularly lovely and mellow. Ruth Heller's soprano voice is of lovely quality. Her diction is good and her high notes are clear and full. Lily Rhome plays intelligently and well, but we have heard her only once and are anxious to hear her again before commenting further. Virginia Crawford, Rebecca Tarwater and Helen Watson, though amateurs, have proved themselves entertaining critics. We lighten ourmore serious musical pursuits with a fling at a jazz orchestra under the teaching, management, and supervision of Mr. Weaver. Though we have had but one rehearsal which, naturally, was not too successful, we are looking forward to a very interesting and enjoyable year. Tianos-Virginia Crawford, Jane Pendleton. .Mandolins-Elenor Lust, Eleanor Davy, Rebecca Keister, Betty -Sibbett, Betty Knipe. . 'Traps and drum-Virginia Roundey. Saxophone-Helen Dery.
