58 WINNETKA TALK April 21, 1928 Sixth Annual Concert Greatest Ever Presented by Skokie Pupils [PRESENTING a splendid program of compositions of the masters, two hundred sixty pupils of the music department of the Skokie school, including the Glee clubs, the orchestra and the band, were featured in the sixth annual concert at Kuppenheimer Memorial hall on Friday evening, April 13. While the weather was extremely inclement, more than 700 parents and friends were in attendance and were rewarded with one of the greatest musical concerts ever presented by pupils of a grade school and, in the opinion of many, the finest ever given by children of the local schools. The program consisted of selections by the band under the direction of W. J. Denman; of orchestra selections di- rected by Lawrence H. Yingling, head of the department of music of the Skokie school; and of choral numbers by the Girls' Glee club, Boys' Glee clubs and the choruses. All of the music was by the greater composers-- Dvorak, Bach, Grieg, Beethoven, Schu- bert, Mendelssohn, Mozart and others --except where folk songs were given. In this instance, at least, the concert was unique among most grade or even college programs. In the audience that attended the evening's entertainment, were a num- ber of eminent musicians; some ama- teur and some professional and both resident and visiting artists. Many of Photo by Wilhite these in commenting upon the program acclaimed the vocal work of the chil- dren as almest perfect in tone quality and harme#iy: arrangement. Both the band andthe orchestra came in for their share of praise, in spite of the fact that preliminary training for in- strumental work has consisted for the most part of only six months to a year and a half of instrumental lessons. All accompaniments were played by children, the accompanist for the Girls' Glee club being Page Mergentheim; the one for the Boys' Glee club, Sara Jane Haven; those for the Boys' Treble Glee club, Sylvia Boynton and Margaret Freyn, and for the Girls' chorus, Helen Fulton.
