CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB Charles M. Hayes, President 3254 Michigan Avenue Chicago NORTH SHORE BRANCH 525 Davis Street Evanston vee] CONCERT SHOWS WORK OF MUSIC DEPARTMENT High School Music Department Groups Give Delightful Pro- gram for Public By R. L. P. The music department of the New Trier High school gave a concert on Saturday evening, April 30, at the school, the first of its kind. The school glee clubs, orchestra and band par- ticipated in the program. Frederick E. Clerk, principal of the school, introduced Mrs. Marion B. Cotton, head of the music department, and said the aim of the department was to give students some basis of musical appreciation, an opportunity for expressing themselves musically, and that the department tries to dis- cover special talent and develop it under expert direction. Mrs. Cotton, whose efficient work, loyal support, and charming personali- ty has made the department progress so astonishingly within the last few vears, told a little of the struggles of the department for growth during the last ten years. She commended her helpers in the department, and intro- duced each of them to the audience: Miss Susannah Armstrong, in charge of classes in harmony, said that origi- nality in four-part writing is the aim of the class; Joseph C. Schumacher, director of the band, stressed the co- operation taught the boys by such group work; and Miss Adelaide Jones, teacher of musical appreciation, said that her course acquaints students with the finer things in music, and teaches them to learn to listen so that they may later listen to learn. Miss Winifred Mickey was introduced as the accompanist, and Mrs. Cotton especially spoke of her loyal, sympa- thetic work, and her talent. Miss Olive Grover, who supervises staging, and who is a teacher of art, read a clever poem on education, ending "the | waves of our sending station are ex- | pressed by one word--co-operation!"

She said the students were "pretty young and pretty busy," and that what they have accomplished has been so because they have talent, and parents and friends who believe in beautiful things. : The orchestra, under Mrs. Cotton's direction, played the Overture from "Don Juan," by Mozart, and later the Overture from "The Merry Wives of Windsor." The tonal quality was re- markably sweet, both numbers were capably handled and done in a brisk, good spirit. The girls' glee club sang "Hymn to the Evening Star," and a musical set- ting to Tennyson's "The Lady of Shallot." The tone was very lovely and smooth, and because breath was well controlled, the phrasing was done with a nicety that was wholly charm- ing. Mrs. Ada Tillie Allen sang the solo parts with exquisite appeal, espe- cially in "The Lady of Shallot." The entire setting is very high, but Mrs. Allen rose to high C's gracefully. The girls in the chorus enunciated the words clearly, entrances were clean- cut, and the expression was well throughout. The boys' glee club appeared in two songs, "Send Out They Light," by Gounod, which was flexible and well shaded: and "Rolling Down to Rio,' by German. The latter was a rollick- ing tune that the boys sang heartily and with a delightful swagger. Their las. number was a favorite song, "The Bells of Saint Mary's," inspiring with its swing, sway and sweetness. Hardin Van Deursen of Winnetka, who graduated from New Trier several vears ago, sang Franz' lovely German Lieder, "Aus Meinen Grossen Sch- merzen," with great feeling, and fin- ished musicianship. His second num- ber was the "Porter Song" from "Mar- tha," of which he caught the merry spirit. : Under the direction of Mr. Schu- macher, the high school band played first of which was two numbers, the f wl Rossini's Overture, «Semiradime." It was a bit too long and difficult, but was fairly well played. In Sousa's «Phe Stars and Stripes Forever," con- ducted by Homer Flentye, the band got the stirring rhythm, and attacked it with a vim. It made one want to stand up and cheer the boys. The evening closed with the band playing the school song, and the students standing up proudly, singing with a will. Poor Diabetic Perhaps you're discouraged--even skeptical of ever getting relief.
