GLEE CLUB GAVE
CONCERT SATURDAY
Presented Program That They Gave
on the University Week Trip
Second Event
The University Glee Club gave an
entertainment in the Temple Theatre
Saturday afternoon before a very rep
resentative and appreciative audience
of students and residents of the city,
This was the sixth performance of the
Club this year.
The program was up to the usual
standard of the Club which under the
direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond
has come to be recognized as the best
Gleo Club in the state. The voice
and brass quartets were the features
of Saturday's program. The tenor solo
by Mr. Bagley and the violin solo by
Mr. Learner were well received.
Maurice Clark and Louise Dobbs made
a hit in their little sketch entitled
"The Snipe Hunter." This Bketch was
written by Mr. Clark and is a life sized
imitation of the practical joke that
even University students sometime
bite on.
Sororities Choose Athletes
Nine sororities at Ohio State Uni
versity have picked relay teams of
four each and a manager to represent

Trl Delta aggregation will bring home
the bacon.

The work of the entire cast was
commendable, each individual being
particularly adapted to his part. The
work of Mr. Stewart and Miss Wil
liams, Louis Home and Leon Snyder,
was deserving of special comment. Mr.

tiring efforts contributed largely to the
proper presentment of the play. Much
credit Is due Miss Howell for her time
and effort in helping make the play a
success.

wise, have circulated a petition among
the student body of the University of
Illinois, asking the faculty to com
mand a return to the old-style waltz
and two-step.
