I . - xr,? rr m sffl - -' FzSff&P- A NEW YEAR! ' Fountain Service i Used Texts Bought and Sold i All School Supplies at the COLLEGE BOOK STORE In B farrons Keceive r f i I rail LrOnCert Enthusiastically By VAN NANCE Beautiful girls, handsome young men, and lovely music combined to present an evening of enjoyable musical entertainment at Weber's annual fall concert. The program was of unusually fine quality, and very much on the light and gay side. The program began with the musettes rendition of "Clair de Lune" by Debussy, and Grieg's "I Love Thee." Jay Olson was the featured soloist, having in all nine solos to sing. This, of course, was very easy for the large and appreciative audience to take. Olson, as always, came through with the finished performance of great clarity and wide range which has built for him an enviable reputation as a vocal artist. On several of his numbers, however, it was necessary that he use the microphone. This was unfortunate. Olson's voice is quite powerful enough and the use of the public address system, while amplifying the volume of the tone, did little if anything to improve it. Soprano Soloist The Glee club came In for Its j share of the honors also. Particu- larly well received was their rendition of Victor Herbert's "Romany Life" in which Betty Lou Lamoreaux did herself proud as the soprano soloist. Donna Keeter was runner-up for her singing of Weber's school song, "Purple and White." Miss Kay Islaub wiggled her way into the hearts of the audience with a very graceful and authentic hula dance with choral accompaniment. Those of you who watched her hands no doubt noticed the correlation between their movements and the words sung by the chorus. The choral section of the program concluded with the' singing of Mascagni's "Scene and Prayer" from Cavelleria Rusticana. Band Numbers The second half of the evening was occupied by the band, under the direction of Mr. Clair Johnson. Their program was a beautiful blending of patriotic and light classical numbers. The audience received enthusiastically the trumpet trio and the rhapsody for band and organ, "Cypress Silhouettes." Of particular interest was the drumming par excellence of Que Rich. His drumming is a symphony of coordinated sound and movement, and it is quite obvious that he puts his heart into his work. The evening was brought to a close with the playing of "Stars and Stripes Forever." During the playing of this number, the flag was carried on stage, thus giving the whole concert an inspiring and patriotic ending. Tri Vesta Joins Activities With Gamma Nu Mrs. Lydia Burrows presented Louis Adamic's "Two Way Pas sage" on Tuesday, Jan. 5, to the combined group of home economics and business majors. Mrs. Burrows stressed the part continental Europe is playing in the present war. Evelyn Applonie, Tri Vesta president, conducted the meeting. The two groups united again Wednesday evening, Jan. 3, for their monthly social. After an evening of skating at the Berthana roller rink, they enjoyed refreshments at Kay's noodle parlor. The committee in charge of the party was Lucille Chugg, Eleanor Crowther, Betty Nelson, Ma ri gene Schroeder, Margaret Ann McCracken, Tri Vesta; and Keith Holbrook, president, and Dorothy Cardon, vice president of Gamma Nu. All new students who are Interested in either of these professional groups are invited to be present at the next meetings which will be held in the respective rooms the first Tuesday In February.
