•e CIVIC MUSIC ASSOCIATION PRESENTS HANS
1, kindler and the national symphony
On Friday, January 28th, the Civic Music Associa
tion presented their third program—The National Sym
phony Orchestra conducted by Hans Kindler. Their
program was “Toccata” by Frescobaldi, “Symphony in
F niinor No. 4” by Tchaikousky, “Miniatures” by Paul
^ White, “Entr’acte Music from ‘Rosamunde’ ” by Schu-
„ oert, and “Waltzes from ‘DeRoseiikavalier’ ” by Strauss.
. The symphony appeared last year with the associa-
tion, and Saint Mary’s students had looked forward to
this program for a long time. Although there may be
^any students with a meager knowledge of music, very
few of them could attend this concert without appreci
ating the magnificent technique shown in the “Toccata,”
the depth of feeling of the “Symphony,” the pictur-
^ esqueness of the “Miniatures” or the gay melodic fresh-
ness of the Strauss “Waltzes.”
PUBLICATIONS STAFF TO RECEIVE KEYS
For the first time outstanding members of the staff
et the Stagecoach, the Bulletin, and the Belles will re-
ceive recognition for their efforts by being awarded gold
' keys. The three editors, the business manager of the
' annual, and the most valuable staff members selected
Ijy them will receive the keys, the exact style of which
nas not yet been decided. They will probably have
some form common to all the publications and the
, j^wner’s name on the back. This should be an incentive
o better work for all the staff members.
1>. D. C. BEGINS NEW PROJECT
The D. D. C. has recently undertaken a very jiraise-
—V, jj. nag receiiuy unueriaKcu a veiy juaist-
Worthy project. The girls decided at their last meeting
jat they would like to do more for the family to whom
gave the Christmas basket. Each girl will give a
certain sum per month that they would have used
01’ some luxury to these unfortunate people. This to
us may not seem such a great gift, but to them it will he
n real blessing.
On February 9, the H. D. C. is to be entertained at a
ea given by Hr. and Mrs. Haywood, and Mrs. West,
0 of Dr. West, at the Rex Hosj)ital. There will he
nreo interesting addresses made to the girls by men and
'uinen associated with the hospital.
