The club motto, "Music

ment" by Disraeli has proven an in-
spiration and a realization (or the
Synthetic season just closed.
Never in the History of Shawnee
has the musical interest been at such
high tension. Hundreds of children
are-studying music; high class mu-
sical attractions have become popu-
lar; the music presented during the
High School commencement was a
great improvement over that of pre-
vious years. The O. B. U. concert
hall was filled during each session

work. The lyceum course this win- surplus of $(55 remains in the treas-
ter and a glance at the Chautauqua
catalogue go to prove that we are
fast becoming a city noted for a de-
velopment in aesthetic lines. The
Synthetic club is an institution of
which the entire city is proud and
has been instrumental in helping to
create this state of affairs.
Mrs. Wahl, the retiring president,
has labored strenuously and success-
fully in keeping up the high stand-
ard of programs demanded by the
public. It was this healthful musical
stimulus that made it possible for
the Fine Arts Association to bring
into our midst the Philharmonic Or-
chestra. The music club's activities
have been many and varied. Through
their efforts the beautiful Everett
Grand piano was placed in the audi-
torium of the High School and at each
assembly a solo of high musical
wtifrth was given by some member of
the club. Fifty dollars was realized
from a benefit program given in the
early winter to assist in furnishing
the girls' parlors at the O. B. U.
The club assisted in a material
way i.n draping the Convention Hall
with bunting, thereby aiding the ac-
coustics.
The Song Fest last August was
witnessed by the largest crowd ever
assembled in Shawnee.
The Christmas Carols at the Mu-
nicipal Tree gladdened the hearts of t , tor
hundreds of children.
The program devoted to • public
school music gave the patrons of the
schools an opportunity to know the
excellence of the work accomplished
by that department.
The Sacred Concert Easter after-
noon when three choirs of the city,
assisted by Synthetic talent, present-
ed Gaul's Holy City to a capacity
house, was a musical event which
will remain prominent in the minds
of the pubic for years to come.
ury with which to begin next year's
work.
Mrs. Wahl wishes to thank the gen-
eral public, the superintendent of
schools, the principal of the High
School, the librarian, library board,
and the News-Herald for their loyal
support during the season just closed.
Mrs. Ford, the newly elected presi-
dent, has for a number of years been
active in church, social and club cir-
cles. She possesses u high apprecia-
tion of music and is in every way
qualified to hold this important of-
fice. An outline of her policy for
the season 1916-17 will appear in
the columns of this paper at an early
date.
A. M. O. 1. Dance.
The a. M. O. I. Club gave a dance
Friday evening in Chrisney Hall,
about 35 couples being present. «
The hall presented a festive appear-
ance, the boys having it lavishly dec-
orated with streamers of the club
colors. A colored orchestra furnished
the music and all report a good time.
The club is composed of the follow-
ing members: Leo Cade, president;
J. U. Biggersj Hal Bowles, Fletcher
Bowles, Eugene Rice, Edward Doug-
las, George Townseud, John Lydick,
Don Nicholson, Jack Howell, Paul

club women who are friends of Mrs.
Tom Hope, president of the State
Federation, to note that at the thir-
teenth biennial convention of women's
clubs held in New York, Mrs. Hope
was elected director to the general
federation from Oklahoma by a vote
of 1,168, one of the largest polled by
any director elected in the United
States.

la Gray who graduates the first of

tions, also in the menu. An elegant
five course dinner was served and
it was a most enjoyable occasion.

Mrs. J. H. Threatt's friends sur-

roses. About twenty were present
and the evening was pleasantly spent
playing games. Fruit punch was j
served.
