ADDIE JAYNE S.D. 1-27-500 ________________________ William D. Williams Your tuition has been paid by Mr. William H. Crosby After thanking for the gift, tell about yourself before coming to Hampton - where you come from, who are in the family, about the school you attended before coming, the work you have done, and what influenced you to come. Tell also what course you came to take, and about your life here - your studies, work in shop, laundry, or elsewhere, as well as anything else you are doing that may be of interest to those who are helping you to get an educations. Remember that this is a letter and not just a school exercise. Write freely about the things that interest you. Details make a letter interesting. A letter of thanks usually begins and ends with thanks. Besides being an indication of your ability, it is a mark of respect to your scholarship friend to send as neat and correct a letter as possible. Never ask your friend for any favor whatever. Perhaps you do not need this caution, but mistakes made by students in other years seem to indicate that it is necessary in some cases. A letter of thanks is not usually answered. If you should receive an answer to your letter, I should be glad if you would let me know. ADDIE JAYNE ____________________________ Pankey Sings in Town Hall Spent 16 Years in Europe Before Fleeing War By CARL DITON (For A.N.P.) NEW YORK -- A large audience with many former students and workers of Hampton Institute in evidence came out Sunday to Town Hall to do honor to a former student of that institution, Aubrey Pankey, baritone, of Baltimore, who had just returned from Europe where he has for the past sixteen years appeared in many of the leading capitals. Mr. Pankey possesses an enviable talent for interpreting songs, employing it with fine artistic taste to project a baritone voice that is none too heavy, but which is pleasing in quality. His pianissimo has resonance, and his breath control is most noteworthy. I shall look forward to a return of Mr. Pankey to Town Hall next season. If this comes to pass, I should like to see some changes in style, as the signer's present method lacks contrast in tempo and intensity as far as his program as a whole is concerned. His art at present leans a little too heavily in the direction of ultra-refinement, robbing the artist of many a dramatic moment. Rudolph Schaar presided very delicately and sensitively at the piano. The singer was gracious in bestowing French, German, and spiritual encores. _______________________________
