Signs of Spring!
The Frontier’s Rock Falls cor
respondent, Mrs. Floyd Johnson,
this week decided to write about
the advent of spring.
“The sun is shining warmly
and brightly ... and the next
. day it’s snowing.
“Iris are sending up green
shoots in the yard while a robin
flutters overhead. Nearby mead
ow larks are singing (or scold
ing) while making a bid to be
heard. . ,,
“From the plum thicket at the
other side of the fence a scar
let-coated cardinal gives forth
musical notes of cheer to com
pete with the full-throated
larks.
“Little boys are seen in their
new trousers, white collars ap
pearing above the nifty sport
jackets. Little girls wear gay
colored dresses. These children,
the very breath of spring, are
carrying coveted pennies for
the Sunday - school offering
plate. Doting parents watch
them.
“Another sure sign of spring:
Our assessor is making his duti
ful calls around the neighbor
hood.”
Mrs. Carl Christon, Riverside
correspondent, in describing the
awakening season, leaves the
eloquence to the birds:
“With robins, meadow larks,
blackbirds, bluejays and card
inals singing each morning,
spring can’t be far away.”
Monday, March 21, will be the
first day of spring. Easter Sun
day will be April 10.

By a Staff Writer

by the popular singing group, The
Carolers.
The ensemble was composed of
Penny Perry, soprano; Jonathan
Wilson, baritone; Leo Bernr.ehc,
tenor; Alvin Edmonson, tenor, and
Eric Carlson, bass-baritone. The
pianist was Roy Cooper.
This highly versatile group de
lighted the audience with a unique
and varied program of quintets,
trios, duets and solo numbers.
The fresh and captivating ar
rangements by Mr. Carlson, to
gether with the fine artistry and
charm Of The Carolers themselves
produced an enjoyable evening
for all levels and types of concert
goers.
Opening the program with an
enchanting group of Scottish tollr
songs, The Carolers successively
did “Benebecula Bridal Proces
sion,” “Sweet Afton,” “Bluebells
of Scotland,” “Sad Am I,” “The
Wild Swan,” “The Earl of O’Mor
ay” and everybody’s favorite,
“Loch Lomond.”

LYNCH—Rev. John Wieczorek

sick leave.

over the duties of the Assumption
EVM church and also be chaplain
at the Sacred Heart hospital dur
ing Reverend Wieczorek’s ab
sence.
Mrs. C. W. Porter and Mrs.
Paul Shierk were Wednesday,
March 9, guests at the home of
Mrs. A. B. Hubbard in Chambers.
i> In the songs of the centuries
group, the quartet, composed of
Miss Perry and Messrs. Bernache,
Edmonson and Carlson sang the
ancient madrigall “Amor” (17th
century) by Monteverdi. The hu
morous “Terzett” (18th century),
by Mozart, was done by a trio—
Miss Perry, in clear tone and
spritely manner; Mr. Wilson, in
mellow baritone, while Mr. Carl
son. in flexible bass, added buf
foonery to the number.
Mr. Edmonson’s pleasing tenor
interpreted “Die Lotosblume”
(19th century), by Robert Schu
man. The talented Carolers added
humor to their program with their
interpretation of the witty finc-ie
of “L’Heure Espagnole” (20th
cental 4 : by Maurice Ravel.
Mr. *Bernache’s fine, full tenor
and dramatic quality were shown
in arias from grand opera, includ
ing excerpts from “La Vie Par
isienne,” by Offenbach, and “Die
Fledermaus,” by Johann Strauss.
Messrs. Bernache, Wilson, Ed
monson and Carlson returned
after intermission with some of
the most popular American folk
music, including “Old Smoky”
and “Eggs and Marrowbone.”
The versatile Mr. Carlson (in
cidentally, the husband of Miss
Perry), in his deep bass, sang
“Black Is the Color of My True
Love’s Hair.” For several quartet
selections he plunked a guitar.
The fresh arrangement, nigh
perfect harmony and interpreta
tion of “Dry Bones” was a rare
treat. The audience loved it—and
encored it!
Miss Perry’s lovely soprano
voice blended well with Mr. Wil
son’s full baritone in a group of
songs for two voices: “Give Me
Your Hand” from “Don Giovan
ni” by Mozart; “Let Us Wander”
by Brahms; “The Unfortunate” by
Saint-Saens, and the duet, “The
Old Maid and the Thief,” by Me
notti.
This fine quintet of well-blend
ed voices completed the program
in a highly pleasing manner with
excerpts from modern stage hits
—“Song of Norway,” “Show'
Boat” and “South Pacific.” Deft
and highly listenable arrange
ments were by Messrs. Carlson
and Cooper.
The group sang the precious
‘Bach Chorale” and Brahm’s
“Lullaby” as encores to the en
thusiastic and appreciative audi
ence.
The recital was unusual and
enjoyable in every sense; the
harmony highly professional
and pleasing. The Carolers, who
went from O’Neill to Martin and
Redfield, S.D., are on their last
tour as a group.
Mr. Bemache will go into man
agement work for Columbia Art
ists.
Mr. Edmonson plans to give his
ilair for grand opera a trial.
The charming Miss Perry in
tends to devote full-time to her
important role as Mrs. Eric Carl
son.
The three remaining members
—Messrs Wilson, Carlson, Cooper
—will continue as The Carolers
and doubtlessly will attract other
talent to replace those voices drop
ping out.
With Friday night’s concert, the
curtain lowered on the first sea
son of Community Concerts here.
Enthusiasm for The Carolers alone
qualifies the first season as a
highly successful one. Through this
organized audience plan, hundreds
of persons have been enabled to
open their ears, hearts and minds
to great music through a “Carne
gie Hall” of their own.
F. E. Parkins, president of the
O’Neill Community Concert asso
ciation, estimated the crowd “in
excess of 1,100 persons.”
