The Flower Girls song by twolvo

number
The soloists wore all so warmly greet
ed that reappearances would only sat
isfy
Miss Kuth Wiehes solo In June
exhibited the sweetness of her voice
very acceptably
Love Me and the World is Mine
gave full expression to Miss Elsie Camp

Why was very sweotly sung by lit
tle Gesuline Foley
The duet Hark the Meadow Lark
by little Adam Sinner and Amelia Bron
ing was well done and came in for much
appreciation
But the program was all enjoyed and
tho scene of 300 school children banked
on the stage was in itself an inspiring
one an effect heightened at the close
by the unfurling of Old Glory and by
colored lights
