"To Miss Walbridge belongs the credit of leading the best drilled choruses of public and High school students ever heard in Whitewater. Seventh grade children sang part songs and the High school boys and girls rendered the difficult Waltz from Faust in an excellent manner. One of the best of the musical numbers was a baritone solo by
Earl Cox."
