MRS. BURGUN’S PUPILS
IN RECITAL
The musical program rendered
at the A. B. Hall Friday evening
by Mrs. Burgun's pupils was one
of great merit The participants
rendering their part* in a manner
that pleased not only their teacher,
but also the parents and friends
who were present to enjoy their
efforts. One of the pleasing fea
tures of the evening was the sing
ing by the little Miss Smith, who
is really a prodigy for her age,
carrying lhr air and keem-y> time
perfecty while lisping the words
most charmingly. Mrs. Burgun
also delighted the audience with
reading, “Bill Said So” in her In
imitable manner and good style.
Taken in all the recital was splen
did in every way and when the
fact is taken into consideration
that the pupils included beginners
of two and three months, really
the results were remarkable, and
speaks volumes for the musical I
talent of Ketchikan’s children and
also Mrs. Burguns ability as a
teacher.
Mrsl Burgun announced last
evening that in justice to herself
and her pupils she has planned to
leave on the next trip of the Al
Ki for Seattle, where she will take
up the late methods and "brush
up” generally in things musical.
Mrs. Burgun is to he away for at
least two months and exuects to
return with new batteries stored
up with new inspiration for the
continuation of her work here.
