The last piano recital of the year was given in the chapel by Naomi Wilson on Friday, April 11th, at 5 o’clock.
The stage with its profusion of flowers and ferns made a lovely setting for Miss Wilson, who was wearing a rose satin dress trimmed with rich heavy lace.
Her program was selected to appeal to all tastes, ranging as it did from a Sonata by Schubert to a Mazurka by Mason. Die Jagd by Rheinberger was well played, showing a mastery of staccato and a good interpretation. The difficult Hark! Hark! the Lark was played with skill and feeling. The whole program was given with much expression and an almost total lack of technical errors.
Her program was as follows:
Valse Caprice op. 53—Hofmann
Romance, op. 44, No. 1—Rubinstein
Die Jagd—Rheinberger
Sonata, op. 42 Allegro, Scherzo, Rondo—Schubert
Mazurka Caprice, op. 20—Mason
Reverie—Schutt
Hark! Hark! The Lark—Schubert-Liszt
Invitation to the Dance, op. 65—Weber
The ushers were Lois Lawrence, Pearl Price, Ruby Honeycutt, Louise Wilson, Edith Maynard and Velma Patterson.
Out of town guests were Miss Alene Luther, Mrs. C.W. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. June Utley, Mrs. Lassie Holoman, Vivian Holoman, Rev. E.B. Early, Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Pearson, Mr. Grady Gardner, Miss Pearl Price, and Mr. Molton Holt.
