24 013m ERBEDITD 1918 lighter tones, we hear the clear Voices of the girls quart tte, consisting of Mar- garet Hirschmann, soprano; Nell Duncan, mezzo soprano; Luella Zeratsky con- tralto and Zula Clausser, alto. Their programs consist of solos, trios, quartettes and range from the 111 moious nnmi er to s kctions from operas. Here we are also reminded of the Boys' quartette consisting of William Brunsvold, flrst tenor; J. C. S atanson second tenor; J. G. Eberly, baritone and H. J. Hanemann, bass. Hark! Donit breathe for fear you will miss sOmething. What is the organist playing now? We h at bits from Chopin. tunes from English and Scotch folk songs, snatches of well known Violin selections and phrases from beautiful art songs, which brings to us the many delightful recitals arranged by Mrs. Stephens. About this time Miss jirtle comes to us in the form of the nLast Chord? She began her work here three years ago and now returns to hnish it with us. Music hath charms and so hath parties. The Faculty expressed their feelings towards that little saying by entertaining the students at different times during the year. In bringing this movement to a close the organist plays iiItaliaf their song. The third movement, though last, is the most beautiful of all. We do not understand clearly what the artist is playing for it is a little beyond us, but we realize he is playing about our teachers and we listen in silent admiration to that which brings before our minds the members of the Faculty who guided us so faithfully and cheerfully, instilling into our minds thoughts that will inspire us to reach forth for higher ideals. ! a favorite
