Contributed by Isobel Seymour. "Found this wee card from 1903. I recognise a few names, but I wish I could read the hand-written bits better. They obviously didn't know who was going to perform the songs or recitation until after the print was in, so someone has written in the performers. Maybe the last song was never performed."
