BEFORE LEAVING for roles in a German opera company, Jerry Jennings and brother-in-law Henry Arnold presented impressive Artist Series program.

Arias from “Carmen,” “Orfeo,” and “Samson and Delilah” thrilled an appreciative audience at the first Artist Series performance by prima donna Rise Stevens. Marion Cawood’s brilliant interpre- tations of operatic works gave “Lipscombites” spe- cial pride in their recollection of the days when she was a fellow-student.

Melody of cantabile note gave way to the spoken word as Sara Lowrey interpreted classics from the Bible, the theatre, and English and American Lit- erature. The poetical expressions of Tennyson, Byron, Poe, and Wordsworth became more per- sonal through her imaginative verbalization.
