The Song, a paper presented by
Mrs. Gore, was the theme for the

medieval times, different phases
of music through the centuries, of
how the oppression by czars gave

how slavery gave us the negro
spirituals. A recording of "Nobody
Knows the Trouble I've Seen" was
played, and highlights in the works
of Schubert, Brahms, Richard
Strauss and Schuman were given.

CLUB REPORTS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
FOR PAST YEAR
The following report of the past
year's accomplishments was pre-
sented to the Bastrop Harmony
Club recently by the president,
Mrs. C. A. Long; Mrs. Earl Corson,
recording secretary, and Mrs. W.
B. Ransome, delegate.
The Bastrop Harmony Club be-
gan a new year September 2-r>, 1948.
Fn the beginning of a new year,
we find it necessary to pause and
take stock of our accomplishments
of the past year under the leader-
ship of Mrs. W. E. Maynard, pres-
ident.
According to the record, we find
that the club met every second
and fourth Thursday ><f each month
with a good representation of mem-
bers. One of the prescribed feder-
ation studies was used as a basis
for study in a certain number of
these meetings. In this s.udy of
the "old masters," we found bath
pleasure and inspiration. An in-
terest in the opera seas >n in San
Antonio, one of our members, Mrs.
C. (•. Goddard. sponsored a seated
tea and featured Mrs. C. A. Long,
our current president, in a liber-
etto of the opera, Tannhauser.
Quite a number of our club mem-
bers attended the season of opera
in San Antonio.
The club had programs on Amer-
ican Composers and Texas Com-
posers. We have within our club
a composer, Mrs. O. P. Jones, and
her music was featured on Texas
Day.
The International Program was
developed around the National
Anthems. These were found to
typify the heart and soul of the
nations.
In our study of sacred music,
we found that songs of God's love
know no boundries of creed, race
i or color.
The study of folk music was
brought to us by our member,
Mrs. Cecil Long, who is our Junior
Councilor for the Junior Music
Club, and also teacher of music
in our public school. The pupils
of her classes made folk music
j come alive for us.
At the request of Gov. Beau ford
Jester to all study clubs, we had
a very informative and inspira-
tional program on the Statue of
Liberty.
In developing these many and
varied programs, talent from out-
side of the club and also outside
of Bastrop were used and out of
town guests were featured.
Summing up activities of the
club, members of the senior club
were appointed to attend the meet-
ing.- of the junior club. We found
this to be beneficial for both clubs.
A member of our club. Miss
Virginia Dare Smith, a senior hitth
school student, was helped Ui be-
come the 4-H Club representative
at the 4-H Club convention in
Chicago, due to the fact that she
received points for being active
in our club affairs. The senior
clulb assisted the junior club in
entertaining the Au.-tin junior
| club.
The club presented little Miss
Martha Leah Kunke!. March 2 ith,
in an open concert in the school
auditorium. Miss Kunke! is a stu-
dent at the Julliard School of
Music in New York City.
The club made a contribution
to the "Little Red House."
On an election day, the club,
under the chairmanship of Mrs.
Powers Allbright, had a "Tag
Day." Citizens approached were
i invited to attend our Music Week
| Festival. The contributions were
] so bountiful we were a!>le to have
all music week concerts free of
charge to the public. Cards of
thanks were written to the busi-
ness men of the town for their
fine support and cooperation.
The outstanding event of our
year was Music Week.
The festivities began with a
program at the school auditorium
under the leadership of Mrs. Cecil
Long and the Junior Music Club.
Then Mrs. Helen Haupt of world
renown was present in a piano
concert. Mr. Horace Britt, a cello
artist and guest professor at the
University of Texas, and Miss
Joan Kuhlman, harpiscordist, w -re
presented in concert.
Miss Haupt was entertained
with a dinner before the concert
with Mr. and Mis. W. E. Maynard
as hosts.
Mr. Britt and Miss Kuhlman
were entertained with a dinner
before :be concert in the home
of Mi. and Mrs. J K. Young.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Ransome
graciously opened their home to
the club members and their hus-
bands for an evening concert. A
club member, Mrs. John Barton,
gave a most enjoyable program
on the Hammond organ.
The club closed its year with
n program devoted to the installa-
tion of the officers for the club
years of 194S-49-50. The retiring
president installed the officers in
an impressive ceremony in which
she had each retiring officer pre-
sent her successor with a lighted
candle indicative of her faith that
the light of music would be carried
on for the benefit of mankind. A
red rose, the club flower, was
then presented to each officer.
The club then presented the re-
tiring president with a gift, ex-
pressing to her the appreciation
they felt for her leadership and
guidance over the past two years.

Texas Federation of Music Clubs
at Boerne on November I:
The Bastrop Junior Music Club
was federated in the summer of
194s. with 15 active members, fin-
ishing the year with an active
membership of 2.'1. It had a fully
outlined course of study in its
year book for each meeting. A
; member of the senior club met
i each meeting with the regular
junior counselors, aiding and acting
a- parliamentarian for that meet-
ing.
The club observed a Hymn pro-
gram in November, had a pro-
gram on MacDowell in December,
sponsored the South Austin Junior
Music Club in a public program
at the First Methodist Church in
Bastrop, observed Texas composers
in March with a program on Texas
Composers. Around 75 percent of
the members attended the Festi-
val in Georgetown, taking with
them the Junior Methodist Choir
under the direction of Mrs. Frank
W. Denison to present two num-
bers on the program. The club
observed Music Week ea h day

in connection with the senior club.
