A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
From the Interlachen Yearbook of Florida Southern College (Lakeland, Florida), Class of 1937: The Florida Southern College Little Symphony. One of the most active organizations on the campus is the "Little Symphony". Composed of sixteen members and directed by Professor Howard J. Barnum, head of the Conservatory of Music, it has played a very important part in the cultural life of the college and city. Music by Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and other masters has been studied and performed, a recent instance being an all Beethoven program given with the Tuesday Music Club, who, with the college, are sponsoring the orchestra this year. Organized nine years ago by the director, it has had opportunity to accompany concertos by Weber, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Grieg, Bubenstein and others. The "Little Symphony" has assisted by playing the orchestral parts to many oratorios and operettas, the most recent being Handel's "Messiah". Helen W. Barnum, teacher of piano, has been the pianist for the orchestra during the last nine years and has contributed largely to its many successes.
