In November, 1915, a- group of persons interested in and loving ny- sic for its own sake, met qt the home of Mr. and Mrs. George An drews to organize a double quartet and meet perhaps once a week. Oth ers hearing of the plnn requested to join the little coterie, and, doing so, larger quurters were soon necessary for reheursals, when the studio of Mrs. Ed Andrews, then in the Com- merciul College building, was sitbsti tutcd. The membership steadily in creased and in February, 1910, a so ciety was lormully organized, olti cers elected and the Presbyterian church decided upon for further meetings. Officers were ns follows: President, S. Vilas Beckwith; vice-president, Mrs. E. E. Gore treasurer,' Clarence Meeker; librar ian, Mrs. Walter Mundy; accompan ist, Mrs.- Marsh; director, Mr. An drews. At. this time, rehearsals of the beautiful "Mass Solehelle," from the St. Cecilia Mass were begun, this number being the most pretentious on n very excellent program given in concert nt the Pugc theater in May, 1910, the occasion being the public debut of the Medford Choral soci ety, as it hud been named upon or ganization. A large and appreciat ive audience was surprised and de lighted with the entire entertainment at this time. The following July the society united with that of Ashland and under the directorship of Mr. Andrews gave the program which op ened the chuutauqtin in Ashhind for that year. An orchestra of sixteen members, directed by H. 11. Howell and known as the .Medford Choral society orchestra, accompanied the singers at these two concerts, ns well as those given later. A brief vaca tion was taken during the warmest months, reheursals heintf resumed the Inst Tuesday in September at St Mark's hall. The second Medford concert was . given November 28 1910, with incrensed membershi and proficiency. In January, 1917, Rev. W, M. Hamilton, W. F. Isaacs and Miss Elizabeth Putnam were elected president, vice-president en librarian. The new Chautauqua building a Ashland was dedicated lust month with the Medford and Ashland Choral societies again uniting and pleasing a large audience. The nn Dual vacation is now on for a brief. jMEBFORP. - OKEflON, '8 ATFKD'AY. UfiUCT, V mi time. In closing, we might say the society now numbers over one hun dred and twenty singers, has an ex tensive library of music, all orches trated, and plans for bigger develop ments are being considered by Mr. Andrews, whose ability, persistence pnd faithfulness have been respon sible for the undoubted success of the undertaking. ... ' It is to be hoped wo will hear a lit tle, more of distinguished visitors to our valley in the future. Great ar tists have been in our midst inthe past and were appreciated when ap pearing in concert and entertuined socially to quite an extent. These people would scarcely have eseiiied being interviewed in a larger place, and as such tete-a-tetos are always interesting to the music lover nt least, why shouldn't we have a few "side lights" on their "pasts." Surely nocommunity of its size could excel us in the sympathetic appreciation of our audiences, Wulter Damrosch speaking particularly of that feuture o his appearance here. Then would not the artist, who is usually big in more than nn artistic sense, be glad to give his opinions of ns nnd other matters more intimately thnn across the footlights, though even curtnin speeches hnve been extremely few and far between. Not so very long ago John Philip Sousa, beloved march king of the whole United States, was a guest in our valley; nlsq George Hamlin, ex celling equally in oratorio, grand opera and the. concert field. Aside from a few vary fortunate ones, not many even knew these interesting personalities were on the const. And we would have been so glad to sny: Welcome to our city; hope you II like it.
