Muiscal Treat to Be Given By Students of High School.

On next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the 9th and 10th, the music department of the local high school will present something that Is absolutely new to Rensselaer, both in form and content, namely, “The Merry Milkmaids.” This is an operetta and such will be sung from beginning to end. It is not a disconnected series of solos, etc., but a clever combination of chorus, duet and quartet work, all arranged so as to tell a charming rural love story in a lightly humorous vein. The beauty of the story and music will be enhanced by the costumes and youth of the performers. The high school possesses some unusually fine voices and those in charge are enthusiastic over the prospects. This is a fine opportunity tor the public to judge of the work of the music department as well as to encourage the worthy object they have In view. Tickets will be on sale at the Ellis opera house Saturday morning.
