From the front page of the Hickory Daily Record, Aug. 30, 1920. Russian violinist's name spelled Skibonsky and Skibinsky in this article.
Miss Benner to Head Department at Lenoir
Lenoir College is fortunate in having secured the servicers of Miss Margaret L. Benner as the new head of the department of instrumental music. Miss Benner recieved her musical education at the Susquehanna University and the Peabody Conservatory. As a teacher she has been eminently successful. One of her testimonials contains the following:
"Miss Benner possesses not only acquired skill to an unusual degree as a pianist, but also the natural endowments of a real musician. She is a zealous, tactful, patient teacher with marked ability to instruct, and the gift of inspiring her pupils with a love for their work.
Aside from her qualities as a teacher she is in every respect a most excellent woman of Christian character, having an attractive personality, with a winning way that makes friends readily."
Having appeared on the same program with A.N.Skibonsky, Russian violinist of international reputation, Mr. Skibinsky praises Miss Benner's work as follows:
"I am particularly impressed with her splendid technical ability and expert in musicianship as well as with her remarkable skill as an accompanist."
