While the pupils are beginners, yet much interest attaches to their performance. The public is invited to attend [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 26 May 1915, p.1] ---------------------------- EXCELLENT PROGRAM BY MISS STRIPLIN’S CLASS ---------------------------- That was a wonderful bevy of little musicians rendering the recital at Wood’s Hall last Friday evening, it being the occasion of a public exercise by the music class of Miss Addie STRIPLIN. A large and very appreciative audience assembled at eight o’clock and the best of order was maintained throughout. Closest attention was given each number and frequent bursts of applause evidenced the keen enjoyment of those present as the entertainment progressed. While it is a fact that the class is one of beginners, still it is only fair to say that every member showed conscientious training and application, leaving the sense of gratification in the hearts of all listeners which comes only when they are made proud by the fact that their boys and girls have acquitted themselves most creditably. After the program was completed Rev. E. M. GLENN paid high tribute to both the teacher, Miss STRIPLIN, and to the pupils who participated in the entertainment. Finally Dr. [Rev. J. W.] RUCKER awarded medals to Misses Jimmie Lu ZACHRY and Estelle CLEMMONS and Master Sam ENLOE, given by the teacher, and to Misses Agnes HOLLIDAY and Mary FAUSETT, given by their parents, for close attention, greatest number of hours practiced, etc. The people of Roanoke feel justly proud of their boys and girls, as well as of her who has so faithfully taught these little fellows the past months.
