    1. [MULLER] Re: [Bklyn] 1909 Graduating Class
    2. 1909 From the Booklyn Eagle Girls School #142 Will Present Song of Scotland This Evening, Pupils of #3 to Render the Program at Boys HS. Father Bush Resided at the Exercises of #18- #9's Graduation at Erasmus Hall Tonight-Festival at #58, Woodhaven. Miss Annie A. L. Egan, the principal of PS 142, Henry & Rapelye St. is a firm believer in the educational value of music, and each year has a program which differs from the previous year, and at graduation the flower of the school, the graduating class, entertains, it's parents and friends with the result of the musical training during the year. Last June it was Moore's melodies which were sung and commented on. This year it's the songs of Scotland, which will be sung tonight. The girls will thus possess a treasure which cannot be stolen from them by time. For the last time Paul Martin, Jr, the music teacher, who has entered into Miss Egan's plans with enthusiasm, will play and lead. Hereafter he will be the music teacher in the Stuyvesant HS. Mr. Martin will play the "Graduates March" and the class will sing "The Blue Bells of Scotland." Those who have heard the girls of PS 142, know how well they can sing, and they always furnish a treat up to their friends. The other songs which the class will sing are, "O Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast," "Annie o' the Banks O' Dee," "Annie Laurie," "My Heart's in the Highlands," "My Love's Like a Red, Red Rose," and "Auld Lang Syne," The Star Spangled Banner," will be sung by class and audience. The music of "My Love's Like a Red, Red Rose," was composed by Mr. Martin and dedicated to Miss Egan. But other singers besides the class will entertain the audience, old friends of Miss Egan and of the girls, Senor Don Cabellero Guetary, late of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, London, and Livingston Chapman, solo bass of the Lafayette Ave Presbyterian Church. Senor Guetary & Mr. Livingston will each sing solos and together will sing a duet, and entrainment such as it to be given tonight at PS 142, would attract a great audience at any time in Brooklyn. The schoolhouse will be crowded. There are three recitations: "An Umbrella Lecture," Helen Field: "Nathan Hale," Adele Moran, and "The Mourning Veil," Effie Bowie. Dr. John Harrigan, and old friend of the principal and the school, will preside, the District Superintendent Campbell will make the address to the graduates. Edward Cassin is chairman of the reception committee. The graduates are: February Class: Mimie Muller
