High Praise ;Given To L. IT. S. A Cappella Choir (Continued From Page One) estrlna. Mr. Petri's criticism, just received, Is as fellows: "Your critic waa a little skeptical when he noticed the very ambitious numbers which wera to be presented, 'nit niter one or two phrases, this skepticism was immediately dispelled and In its place came a feeling of ad miration. Tho choir sang with fine intonation, excellent attack and re leases, fine balance of tone and tone quality. It is little short of mar-, velous that Mr. Loney has aCcocn-' pllshed bo much in so short a time, and that he has attracted so many, young people to this, the highest form of choral singing. He deserves the highest praise and the hearty co operation of every citizen of La Grande and he also deserves all the moral and financial support the citi zens may be able to give him. Such a performance as the choir gave would' bear favorable comparison with some of the larger high schools of the country."
