The Junior normal closed last
Friday night with a concert , Prof.
Gregory acting as director. The
performance was good , the sing
ing superb and the training excel
lent. "Some thought the male
quartet shone the brightest while
others were so well pleased with
the young ladies chorus that they
were recalled after singing "Come
to the Dance , " and sang "There
were Three Buzzing Bumble Bees'7
to the exquisite delight of the aud
ience who gave them hearty ap
plause. Prof. Bradford was cheer
ed heartily for his songs and it
seemed that the audience was not
tired when he had sung three songs.
The program was a long one and
it was impossible to allow encores
for each that was called for , as
many of the teachers wanted to
leave on the train atir17 the next
morning , while some went west at
1:15. : The concert was highly ap
preciated as a feature of the Jun
ior normal. The grand chorus did
well and kept together , though thb
parts xwcre unequally divided as
must be the case with th\j voices
just as they are to be found in any
congregation of mostly lady teach
ers. Judge Walcott remarked
that it was better thanlmanyof the
traveling shows or opera troupe ? ,
referring to the concert , to which
