GLEE CLUB HOME
FROM ROAD TRIP
Men's Organization Returns
From Annual Spring Tour
Of Nebraska Cities
HOME CONCERT IS IN MAY
The University of Nebraska Men's
Glee Club returned Friday night
from a trip that carried them to the
Nebraska towns of David City,
Schuyler, Stromsberg, Grand Island,
Aurora, and Utica. Large and appre
ciative audiences greeted the club at
most of the stops on the trip.
The program, in good shape before
the road tour was started, has
rounded up nicely, according to Her
man T. Decker, director. Intensive
rehearsals by the full club during the
next month will put the concert in a
finished state for the home concert
to be given at St. Paul's Methodist
church Sunday evening, May 15.
Present a Cantata.
"The Voyage of Columbus", a can
tata in six night scenes, by Dudley
Buck, is the feature number of the
'club's program this year. It is con
sidered an especially fine bit of work
and was highly enjoyed by music lov
ers who heard the organization on
its spring trip. The part of Columbus
is sung by Pan! Pence, baritone, and
William Damme, bass, sings the part
of the priest. This cantata will be
presented at convocation at the Tem
ple theater some time in May, and
will also be a part of the home con
cert.
The program used on the tour was
varied for the last three stops. The
skit which was to have been put on
by members of the University Play
ers was changed to a minstrel show.
Mr. Decker, as interlocutor, and Dean
Brown and Robert Collins as end
men, furnished the "wise cracks'';
the Varsity quartet sang "Blue
Skies"; Wallace Bar.ta gave several
readings; and Kenneth Cook and
Carl OUcn entertained with "A Little
Close Harmony." Tiie program closed
rith a group of school sings, accord
ing to Kenneth W. Cook, business
manager.

Stock Show at Salt Lake City
Prof. H. J. Grtunlich, head of the
animal husbandry department of the
College of Agriculture, has just re
turned from Salt Lake City, Utah,
where he judged the beef cattle
classes of the student livestock con
test of the 10th Annual Inter-mountain
Livestock Show.
Professor Gramlich states that they
had ideal weather out there during
the show. The show had very good
classes and the stock was very good.
Large crowds attended the livestock
exhibits and they displayed great in
terest in the cattle.
Mr. Earl Godfrey, of Cozad, Ne
braska, had the prize winning car
load of hogs at the show. They were
Hampshire hogs and averaged 240
pounds per head. They could easily
have been classified as very choice
hogs. These were sold to Mr. George
German, also of Cozad. Mr. Godfrey
is an alumnus of the University of
Nebraska College of Agriculture, hav
ing received his degree in 1915. The
hogs were judged by Mr. Murphy,
head cf the Hog Dcpartaicat of the
Cudahy Packing Company at Omaha.
While at Salt Lake City, Professor
Gramlich had the opportunity of ad
dressing the noon-day luncheons of
the Kiwanis Club and also the Salt
