starting as usual they had long
enough time to have already spent anv
ordinary energy. But their "stunfs,,
continued with unabating zeal througt-

no revenge. Showers, in regularity ana

1902, tremendous placards, small boxes
and bags lowered on strings, these are
a few Of the infantile amusements
which were INDUCED in. The general
opinion seemed to be that the joke was
carried too far and that the faculty
will devise some punishment.
The programme was especially good.
Both clubs are in excellent condition
this year and here seems to be an un-
usual amount of good material in both
organizations. The individual success
of the evening was made by Ralph
Schneeloch of this city He was given
a double encore after his first solo and N
was enthusiastically received. The pro-
gramme opened with Rosey's march "A

the Glee club sang a new song Brave

mand for an encore. Next came "Ital-

Schneeloch and the club. 1t is an
amusing thing made up of terms OF
expressions with illustrative
1t is one of the best things done
at a glee club concert in many years.
Mr. Schneeloch has a voice of consid-
erable power and of pleasing quality,
and he sings with an unusual degree OF
musical intelligence. He Is the best
tenor the club has had in many years.
In response to recall he sang There.

The second part opened with the man-
dolin club playing an arrangement OF
one of Brahms Hungarian Dances.
This club is playing particularly well
this year. They have added a violin,
4 cello and a flute to their number,
and the effect is delightful. Next in or
