Jlftatmntnell Recital A just tribute was paid to Edgar Alexander MacDowell, our greatest American composer of music, when Miss M. Edith Jones, instructor in piano, presented Miss Aida I.eQuime on Thursday, March 16, in a program of MacDowe1l selections. The recital was held before a large and enthusiastic audience of Lewiston music lovers, in the Assembly Hall of the State Normal. Misa LeQuime was assisted by Miss Olwen Jones at the second piano. Miss M. Edith jones also sang MacDowell compositions. The program was as follows: I. Concerto A-Minor Miss LeQuime, Miss Olwen Jones II' The Swan Bent Low The Clover The Blue Rell Miss M. Edith Jones III. Sonata Tragica Vost Wagon To the Sea Dance-Andalouse 'lhe Fisherman's Cottage In Mid-ocean . ..... Miss Le Quime. The entire performance was marked by a finish in technique and interpretation which proves jones an instructor of whom Lewiston may wfell be proud- Miss Le Quime was versatile in her artistic ability, being able to well present moods both grave and gay, and expressing many different kinds of emotion from tragic soul struggle to the most delicate elfin fancies. Regardless of her powerful rendition of such selections as Sonata Tragica, and Dance-Andalouse, she won the most decided response from her audience in her number which interpreted the ocean. - Inexorable! Thou straight line of eternal fate That ring'st the world Wliilst on thy morning breast We play our puny parts And reckon us immortal! This majestic theme was indeed one which held the audience en- thralled, and which commanded the keenest appreciation. Edgar Alexander MacDow'ell died in 1908 in his early forties, but his love of life, nature, and mankind will iive forever in our country, perpetuated in his music. He founded at Peterboro, New liampshire, the MacDowell Institute for all creative artists, whether music, painting, literature, or drama might be their themes. Thus at the cheap rate of one dollar a day. men and wom-en live in a beautiful environment, away from the busy whirl, where they may come in close contact i- - eh Iiature and thus gain inspiration and strength to perform their work. Lewiston State Normal is glad to have had the opportunity of hearing advantageously the creation of such a broadminded musical genius.

y itaisturical ageant An evening of unusual interest and entertainment was that of Saturday, February 11, when Professor Talkington, with the assistance Of the Senior class presented, before an assembly taxing the capacity of the gymnasium, an historical pageant, depicting the development of the Northwest. Ten scenes we1'e presented, each faithfully representing some stage in the evolution of life in the Northwest from the pioneer days up to the Present time. In the first scene we had the Indian before the coming of the white man, and the scenes following, presented in order, tue iur trader, miner, missionary, pioneers, old and new, a pioneer home. pioneer school days, a living album presenting types from the Indian to the 1916 Senior, and lastly, the dances, old and new. Every detail was carefully worked out by Professor Talkington so that the entire pageant presented phases of our life as a nation which are of intense interest to every resident of the Northwest, but which are too often neglected. The hardships, the sacrifices, the joys of the pfople, who struggled here that we might have the glorious Northwest HS we know it, were pictured as they could be only thru the efforts of one who thoroughly understood and appreciate them.
