Mrs. Wehrly To Be Honored At Concert
" The real thrill of teaching music is to see students blossom out into accomplished musicians.” These are the reflective words of Mrs. Pearle (Bertha) Wehrly, who for many years has given private lessons to students in the Milford area. Mrs. Wehrly will be honored at the annual Milford high school band and chorus spring concert to be held at the school gym at 7:45 pm. Friday. April 29. lias 73 Pupils Mrs. Wehrly has given private 'lessons “since about 1930.” her first student being Mrs. Barnett Koontz of Wolcottville, the former Mary Alice Phend of Milford. She now has 73 students taking lessons each week. Her students range from the first grade to seniors. She calls it a “full schedule.” Mrs. Wehrly, herself a Milford high school graduate, graduated | from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and while studying there taught in what was known as Miss Cookinghams School. Can't Say ‘No’ When asked why she had so many pupils. Mrs. Wehrly said. “Ljust can’t say no to any youngster. Who knows, the next one might be a regular little geniu-" The record of her - students in district competition is unusual. Each year many of them come home from competition with honors 'She said. "If half of them get firsts, I am very pleased.” Mrs. Wehrly said some pupils begin but give it up. but she thinks whatever time they give to the piano will enrich their lives just that much. In the front room of her r 1 Milford home Mrs. Wehrly proudly displays a record player her pupils bought her for Christmas a year ago.

Joan Schlotterback, Con-1 nie Biller and Gayla Bird, will play its contest piece The vocal medley which helped Michelle Conn earn the title of Junior Miss is surely to please the audience as will her piano solo. The high school chorus’ religious portion of the concert consists of -■Hallelujah Amen." “Blessed Be God" and “The Creation ’’ A girls’ vocal trio. Beth Hoover, Cindy Beer, and Jeannie Moneyheffer, livens the mood with “I Feel Pretty.” Other lighter numbers are "Michael Row the Boat" and “If 1 Ruled the World.” This year the program of the high school band is so varied that it’s ’ certain to delight each preference. So descriptive are “The Ballet Egyplian.” "The Bolero In Blue,” and the “Tropical Rain" that the settings are clearly created. "El Camino Real” is typically Spanish, while truly American are the “Magic Trumpet" and the "Tijuana Taxi" Reception Follows According to the Music Parents Organization a tea will be given immediately following the concert in the high school dining room for Mrs Wehrly.
