B. Hamrick auditorium on the campus. The recital was one of several presented yearly by the Music Department of the college for its music students. Misses Ann and 'Valeria Banning, pianists and sophomore students, played various selections alternately. Mr. Hoyt Abrams, baritone and also a sophomore student, sang three numbers. Compositions of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Mac- Dowell, Mokrys, Chopin, and Ballentine constituted the main program for the piano numbers. Accompanied by Miss Miller, Mr. Abrams sang “Through the Darkness,” “Ah! Sweet Love” and “Who Is Sylvia?” The pianists played with much expression and feeling, despite the extreme silence of the small audience. The vocalist sang his pieces tastefully and simply, with much depth and sweetness. For an encore, the pianists played a duet by Rachmannoff. This number was beautifully done, and proved to be one of the highlights of the evening fellow students, teachers, and relatives.
