22 The Howard-Payne Exponent

The feature of the morning was Mr. Harrison, a colored
reader of some note. His Paul Lawrence Dunbar
selections were greatly enjoyed and his interpretation
of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice,"
and Poe's "Raven" was remarkable.

Post-Graduate Recital
On Friday evening, April 11, Miss Myrtle Snarr,
a Post-graduate in piano, gave her recital in Classic,
Hall assisted by Miss Madonna Cox, a Senior in
voice. The program was well rendered and was enjoyed
by an appreciative audience. Miss Snarr displayed
brilliant technique in the "Dance of the
Elves" and MacDowell's "Polonaise" and great
dramatic feeling in "Der Erbkonig." Miss Cox
gave "The Miracle of Nain" with great depth of
feeling. Her short numbers were rendered in a truly

23 The Howard-Payne Exponent

Bells of H. P. C.
Oh listen to the music of the bells!
What a message, what a story each one tells!
With a ringle, ringle, ringle,
With a jingle, jingle, jingle;
Oh listen to the music of the bells!

Oh listen to the music of the bells!
To the ringle, ringle, ringle of the bells!
Hear the jingle, jangle, jingle
Hear the ringle, rangle, ringle.
What, oh what's the meaning of the bells!

Come to breakfast, come to dinner, call the bells!
Of a warning or a summons each one tells!
As we hear their jingle, jingle,
As we hear their ringle, ringle,
It does surely keep us guessing 'bout the bells!

Oh listen to the laughter of the belles!
To the laughter of the pretty human belles!
Are they true or are they teasing,
Maids so sweet and maids so pleasing,
Well it sure does keep us guessing 'bout the bells.
Philo.
