A Delightful Entertainment.
The music and elocution recital giv
en by Prof. Chas. Astin and Miss Inez
Watson at the auditorium Tuesday
evening was a charming entertain
ment, and the large audience was de
lighted. The admirable manner in
which the various numbers were ren
dered bore flattering testimony to the
that the contest was exceedingly close,
and frankly admitted their embarrass
ment in reaching a decision where all
had done so well. The position of the
judges was fully appreciated by the au
dience, because the splendid efforts of
several members of the class seemed
equally deserving of the honor, a
dose analysis of the points scored by
each being necessary to determine the
result.
