A ---------- J . December 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 21 SKOKIE SCHOOL OFFERS EARLY CHRISTMAS MUSIC Glee Clubs, Chorus and Orchestra to Present Interesting Pro- gram December 21 The music department of the Skokie school, under the direction of Lawrence H. Yingling and Donald Cawelti, will present a program of traditional carols and other early Christmas music Fri- day afternoon, December 21, at 2 :30 o'clock in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall. 3 The consensus of opinion of cele- brated foreign and American educators and music critics visiting Skokie this year has been that these choruses are not surpassed in American Junior High schools. This will be the first oppor- tunity of this school year to hear these organizations under favorable circum- stances. The Boys' Treble Glee club, the Girls' Glee club, and the Mixed chorus, composed of the later and the Boys' Glee club, with the string section of the orchestra make up the group of one hundred and ten pupils who will present the program. The carol singing by the assembly will be accompanied by a stringed choir of twenty. The auditorium will sug- gest a mediaeval cathedral. Much of the singing is wholly or in part a cap- pella. The program will be as follows: Part I Carols by the assembly Part II Christmas, BONE'. « sairmas brn nf vo Holst (Adapted from a Mediaeval melody) Boys' Treble Glee Club "From Heaven High the Angels Come" (Traditional XIV Century) Girls' Glee Club "Lo, How a Rose e'er Blooming".... a We aaa ....M.
