Miss Mary Louise McKenna, above, talented young Lexington singer,
will study in New York City this fall under Madame Maria Gay Zenatello,
noted voice teacher, whose pupils include such opera stars as Lily Pons
and Nino Martini. The Mary Louise McKenna Scholarship committee,
's
meeting Wednesday night at the Lafayette hotel, accepted Madame

The famous teacher, who has heard the Lexington girl sing, was
impressed with her voice that she agreed to give her two lessons a week.
The committee, which will administer a scholarship fund rased by a recital
and other means, was guided in the choice of a teacher by Miss McKenna s
own wishes and the recommendation of Mrs. John Burgin, Miss McKen-na'- s
