Show Honor Here!—Continued one of the solo contraltos in the choir. Florence Cashmore, mezzo soprano, was a soloist in the Christmas musical. She plays one of the first violins in the orches¬tra. So much for outstanding music students. How many have been out on the campus cheering them on to glory?
