MISS FARLOWE GIVES
SENIOR SONG RECITAL
Sings With Ease and Rare Clar
ity of Diction
Miss Vera Farlowe who appeared
in her graduating recital in voice
last Saturday evening sang an un
usually well chosen group of songs
and pleased her audience by her
excellent interpretation of them.
Miss Farlow, the only pupil of
Mr. James Westley White, teacher
of voice, to give a senior recital this
year, possesses a clear soprano voice
of ample range and great carrying
power. She sings with ease and
finish and possesses a rare gift of
clear diction.
The program began with a classic
number from Hyden, "My Mother
Bids Me Bind My Hair." Of a group
of charming French songs the
"Berceuse" from Gounod was the
outstanding number. "In the time
of Roses" by Rcichardt was a lyric
from the German which constrasted
deeidediy Brahms' "The Sand Man"
and Schubert's "Whither."
Miss Farlowe sang the aria, "Ana
voca poco fa" from Rossini's opera,
"Barbiere de Seviglea" in a master
ly fashion and in her interpretation
succeeded in giving its true spirit
of lightness.
In the last group of English and
American songs the most pleasing
was an Indian idyl, "Niawasa."
"When Love Comes Clambering in"
by slater, and "The Rosy Morn"
touched a cheerful note and formed
a fitting conclusion to the program.
Miss Gracette Frazier added much
to Miss Farlowe's program by her
skillful execution and delicate touch
as accompanist.

contract with the Greensboro

of the composer. The "Turkish j
March" from "Ruins of Athens,"
played by Miss Jackson and Miss
Hollowell, was probably the b.;st
number of the whole program.
This Beethoven number lends
itself to a two piano arrangement
admirably. Miss Jackson also
played one number from Chopin
with good technique and spirit,
and M iss Hollowell displayed as
tounding velocity in the "Move
ment perpetual" from Weber's
sonata in C.
Others who deserve honorable 1
mention are Miss Mary tyVebb

Davidson began the counting
right 011 the start by a series of
hits, scoring two in the first act.
I he wild cats kept up this offen

ing the rubber from time to time.
The swatting of the Presbyterian
brethren was aided and abetted
by four errors of the Quakers.
Guilford never threatened to
score until the ninth when Hay
worth eased one against the fence
that sent him 011 an excursion to
the third sack. Burge sacrificed
but Hayworth stumbled.
