Mcdowell music club
gave recital in studio
The MacDowell Music Club of S.
H. S., under the direction of Miss
Winifred Bodie, gave a recital in the
club studio last Saturday evening.
Teachers and parents of club members
were invited guests. Both piano
and vocal "inumbers were rendered.
Those taking part were Gladys Wagner,
Emma Katherine, Ruth and
Eloise Cobb, Harriett Feagan, Irene
and Ina Edwards, Annie Lois Mills,
Coy Smith, Gretchen and Anna Lynch,
Ruth Tate, Ruby Tallant, Ellen Hague,
Blanch Feagan, Gladys Walker, Jettie
Hague and William Egerton. Each
number was well rendered, reflecting
much credit upon both pupil and instructor.
Miss Bodie hopes to present
her pupils in another recital as
soon as the school auditorium is finished,
at which time she will not have
to limit invitations to teachers and j
parents of her pupils as was the case I
this time due to lack of space.
