Musical Recital About two weeks ago in the School Auditorium 18 or 20 of the Junior piano pupils gave a very interesting program of solos duets and trios. As all of these little folks were under 12 years of age they deserve considerable credit for the way in which they carried out their program. Last night the High School piano pupils gave a joint recital with Beveral of Miss Hockaday's voice students. The program in cluded voice, violin and piano solos, duets, duos and quartets for piano. On the whole the program was well given and thoroughly, enjoyed by the large audience present. This is the first time that pupils have ever played numbers using two pianos, and although the ensemble work was not what it might have been the girls are to be congratulated on their effort. The quartets were (specially good. At both recitals the pleasure of the audience was increased by the effective use of massed flow ers on the stage. At the Junior recital white Spirea and yellow Daffodils were used and last nigh Wistaria, Lilacs and purple and white Iris made a very love ly setting. Motion Pictures at the School Arrangement has just been made to have motion pictures in the school auditorium regularly each week. The first number will come this evening at 7:30 when "Huckleberry Finn" will be shown. A uniform price of 10 cents will be charged for all who wish to come.

Towe, 1 "ls cla3S extentls a coruiai invitation to all men, both young and old- t0 attcnd these interest- m meeungs What a Musician Is The term "musician" is the ; most abused one in existence. The "leetle German street band," the beer saloon harpist and fiddler, the man who toots a horn, scrapes a fiddle, or "claws the ivories" are all called musi cians, yet these people have no more right to the .title than a i Kentucky "colonel." A musician in the strict sense of the term, should not only pos sess artistic skill as a performer, but be thoroughly versed in the sciences of harmony, counter point, melodies, form, composi tion and all other branches of j Nellie Parks, Effie Simpkins, music. The history of music and j Clarence Simmons, all subjects pertaining to the art Grade 1-B Gilbert Jordan, should be familiar to him, His ! Ogreeta Thompson, Eva Ken entire time should be devoted to ! drick. his profession and no other occu-' Grade 1-D Arleen Batten, pation should interfere with his j Florence Carr, Nervie May Gar- ! advancement. : Those who do not possess this knowledge can only be called violinists, pianists, cornetists, ! etc, in accordance with the in strument of their choice. J. P. Sousa says there is more i lllimtilin. ... mill.!. tUnn in nil nlr. iiMiiiuuK in uiuoic man in an cisc ; combined. Remember also that having long hair, wearing gog gles, smelling of limberger cheese, and having an air of mystery about you, is no reason that you deserve the title of a musician. Because you ra,ve about the old masters, and claim that you study only classical works, does not qualify you. Claiming to have studied under celebrated masters, or in famous conservatories does not place you with the elect. The real musi cian knows when he meets an educated artist, and can easily discriminate between a charla tan and a musician. A word of advice to students of music. Try by assiduous study and practice to acquire the aes thete s, and do not prefer to rather be the "mouse's head" than the "lion's tail." R. C. Shaw. CLEAN UP WEEK TO OBSERVED BE The children of the Central School ask all the citizens of the community to help them to ob serve Clean-Up Week,. April 4-9 It is their purpose to clean up the school building and grounds and to aid the older citizens in cleaning up their premises, the streets and the vacant lots. Will you not encourage the ju nior citizens to make Roanoke Rapids a city beautiful - a place that will attract the attention of stangcrs that come to our town. NOTICE The Easter musical program at All Saints' Church last Sun day was especially well rendered. The Easter worshippers crowded the Church almost to its utmost capacity.
