CLUB MEETS
A’Capella Choir
Draws Large Crowd
A large and appreciative au-
dience welcomed the A’Capella
choir of Southwestern Univer-
sity Sunday afternoon in the
High School gym.
Out-of-town visitors / came
from Giddings, Schulenburg,
Hallettsville, Flatonia, Cuero,
Gonzales, Nixon and other
nearby towns.
Some experienced and talent-
ed musicians were present and
without exception the offerings
of the chorister were pronounc-
ed beautiful, the shading,
phrasing and good pitch reflect-
ed the artistic training of their
experienced conductor, John D.
Richards. The harmony
throughout was marked with
beauty and power.
The program was most im-
pressive and proved a reverent
worship in song.
The forty voice choir has the
reputation of being one of the
best University choirs in this
section of the -country. Their
singing here sustained their
reputation and more than ful-
filled all expectations. They
sang with precision, pleasing
tone quality and musical inte-
grity. The audience was es-
pecially pleased with the fine
soloists in the last group of
songs. A Shiner student, Stan-
ley Horwood, was bass soloist.
The program selected by the
conductor was of great variety
and fine quality.
The free will offering of more
than $58, gave evidence that
the impressive program had
registered strong with all pres-
ent.
The Rev. S. R. Horwood gave
the presentation of the choir
and at the close, Mrs. Ella E.
Lane, extended thanks and ap-
preciation for their having
passed this way.
The Woman’s Society of
Christian Service served a
snack supper in the school cafe-
teria just before the singers de-
parted for Seguin.
Those who so pleasingly serv-
ed were Mesdames Walter Paul,
J. W. Boyle, Glade Welhausen,
Ed Dreyer, Gus Wolters, Max
L. Wolters, Ernest Hajek, Ad.
Sembera, James Buske, Miss
Mabel Merrem.
