M. S. M.
■‘lf from cherished child
hood scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here,
And your heart still home
ward leans;
Remember — New friends
with time grow dear
Your joys, your sorrows are
of ours a part,
So, help us to know you
that we may share
This experience of Life,
with open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”
From Conyers come Mr. and
Mrs. Leßoy Gibbons, and little
son David, to make their home on
Walnut Grove Road. However,
they are not altogether newcom
ers, for Mrs. Gibbons is a Rock
dale County native; and feels
quite at home, here.
Although homemaking is her
first love, with cooking her fav
orite chore, Mrs. Gibbons, in
her leisure time, enjoys family
recreation and picnicking, and
spectator sports.
Mr. Gibbons, a native of Phoe
nix, Ariz., is a field supervisor
with Madison Steel Company. He
shares his wife’s interest in
spectator sports and outdoor re
creation; and in addition likes to
sit on the lakeside with a rod
and reel; and enjoys hunting.
The Gibbons are Baptists and
will be welcome additions to the
church of their choice; the
younger married set; and various
other phases of local community
life.

Miss Rich’s Concert At Oxford
Was Thoroughly Enjoyed By All
Miss Ruth Ann Rich was pre
sented in recital by Oxford Col
lege of Emory University, at Al
len Memorial Auditorium on
Monday evening, January 30.
Miss Rich has studied in Amer
ica, in England and in France.
It was immediately apparent that
Miss Rich’s greatest affinity is
with the French tradition of
pianoforte playing; and that was
the framework in which her con
cert was presented to the audi
ence. Miss Rich displayed the
best traditions of the French
concept of musical interpretat
ion, which differs greatly from
the Slavic, Teutonic, Latin, and
Anglo-Saxon. She is a purist,
has a scrupulous respect for and
obedience to the printed text,
is restrained in the lyric pass
ages, adamantly rhythmical and
straight - forward, intellectual
rather than emotional, yet can
display great power in the forte
passages. Her virtuosity is un
disputed and she is the possessor
of a technic which can appar
ently tackle anything with ease.
She began her program with
Mozart’s Sonata K 545 in C
major. She at once displayed
musiclanly phrasing and a high
ly developed technic, her left
hand equally balanced with the
right. The piano Miss Rich was
playing is a massive instrument
of tremendous volume and a
booming bass, but with a hard
action. She was thus under a
handicap in performing on an
Instrument that is not respon
sive to the delicacies of Mozart.
However, there were moments In
the first movement when the
pearly arpeggios came through.
In the Appassionata Sonata of
Beethoven the massive tone of
the piano was most impressive
In the forte passages. Miss
Rich gave a musical and intell
ectual, yet restrained perfor
mance of Beethoven the Revolut
ionary. Admirable was her com
plete fidelity to the text, allow
ing herself no liberties of tem
pi or phrasing. She performed
with an easy virtuosity and was
sure of herself, obtaining at ti
mes an impressive volume of
sound without ever pounding.
This was a brilliant perfor
mance, but reservedly romantic
in the lyric passages.
Miss Rich gave a straight-for
ward performance of the Pro
kofieff Andante which was exact
ly suited to the composition. In
the Precipltato of the same com
poser the heavy bass showed off
the best qualities of the piano,
which would appear to be ideal
for the performance of contem
porary music.
In the too Infrequently perfor
med Chopin Sonata op. 58 in B
minor Miss Rich rewarded us
with exquisite lyricism in the fir
st movement. Again we heard
voluminous tone without harsh
ness of sound and a restrained
romanticism. In the brilliant
Scherzo she brought a rippling
quality of tone and an exquisitely
beautiful quality in the Largo.
Her performance of the exacting
finale was exciting and rhyth
mical, but with a sense of meas
ure and a minimum of body ges
tures at the piano.
In addition to being a disciple
of the French tradition Miss Rich
Is a product of her times, which
demand a more Intellectual, re
strained approach to the whole
repertory. No longer do we go
to hear a certain artists’ inter
pretation of the Appassionata
Miss Pitts Was

WSCS Meeting
The Woman’s Society of Ch

of an Invitation to meet with
Mansfield W.S.C.S Monday af
ternoon.
Rev. Charles Williams of At
lanta presented the program. His
tall, was entitled "Go And
Teach”. His scripture was ta
ken from Psalms 27. Everyone
thoroughly enjoyed his talk.
Sonata, but today we want to
hear Beethoven’s sonata as he
wrote it. Yet, those titans of
the concert hall who still capture
the Imagination of the world’s
music lovers and thrill them are
noted for their poetry, Imaginat
ive and peculiar insight into the
genius of the composer’s inten
tions. in vain we listen to Casal’s
and Segovia’s admonition to their
pupils: "Don’t be purists”.
