NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Cantata Presented by Story High 
School Pupils. 
The cantata, ‘‘The Rose Maiden,’’ 
by Frederic H. Cowen, was present- 
ed in the Manchester Town hall on 
Wednesday evening, by the pupils 
of the Story High school, assisted by 
soloists. The affair proved a very 
successful one, and was thoroughly 
enjoyed by the large number who at- 
tended. Deserving of special men- 
tion was the selection by the chorus, 
“‘Tis Thy Wedding Morning,’’ which 
was given in splendid form and had 
much of the bridal swing and life. 
The soloists assisting were: Mrs. 
If. Y. Follette, soprano; Miss Edith 
Poole, contralto; Arthur F. Tucker, 
tenor, and H. Y. Follette, baritone.
