New Year's Eve No. 4
I’ve heard that this early per
mission
Will stop the brawls and such,
They say that with women in
early
The boys won’t get in Dutch.
If they think that will keep the
«boys quiet,
ell, we won’t discuss their ilk,
But they’d better not keep their
roach powder
So near their powdered milk.

George Hopkins, pianist and pro
fessor of music, in the second of
the faculty series of recitals. The
program will be held at 8:15 in
the school of music auditorium.
First on Mr. Hopkins’s pro
gram will be a sonata by Azzo
lino Ciaia, a composer of the 17th
century. The sonata was origin
ally composed for organ and cla
vicembalo, and has been trans
scribed for piano by Bella Bar
tok. In contrast with this early
music, Mr. Hopkins will play
three preludes by Gershwin.
Phenomenal Pianist
“It is good for students to
hear something which is strange
to them and also something which
is familiar so they can find stim
ulation in the studies they have
been following in the school of
music,” stated Mr. Hopkins. Mr.
Hopkins will also play a waltz
by Levitsky, who before his death
was a friend of Mr. Hopkins. Mr.
Hopkins has described Levitsky
as “a phenomenal pianist.”
Probably the best known num
ber of Mr. Hopkins’s program is
Beethoven’s “Sonata Pathetique.”

Fire Scene” from Wagner’s Nor
dic drama, “Die Walkure,” and
“Spanish Caprice” by Moszkow
