U. OF M. MUSICAL CLUBS
vii! Open Season by Fine Concert at
Orono, Tonight.

Orono, Ne, Dec. 17.-(SpeciaD-The
season of 19C3-19O4 of the University of
Maine Glee, Mandolin, Guitar and
Banjo clubs will begin, Friday evening,
December IS, with concert and dance
in Alumni Hall.
Not for number Of years have the
clubs been in such good condition as
they are at present. This is due
partly to the unusual interest that the
students have taken in this department
of college enterprise and partly TO the
amount of material available from the
freshman class. and to the EFFORTS or
the manager in encouraging the men 10
turn out and work faithfully. But at
all events the clubs are unqueStIonaply
able to give fine concert, Friday
night. and they are deserving of a big
audience.
This week has been hard one for
the members who have been obliged to
turn out daily for rehearsals, both
afternoons and evenings having been
devoted TO the hardest kind of practice
The prepare ton is necessary not only
on account of Friday nights concert,
alone? but next week they leave for
q short trip. giving concerts at Dover
Dexter and Corinna, Dec. u, Y, and rs.
The clubs are fortunate, this year. in
having soloists of more than ordinary
abilities. Harold S. Palmer Bangor, who
has an exceptionally good voice and
who will be heard with pleasure Fri
day evening, and \. w. Sprague, cello
RI ,y-hn a.
cogrized as a musician of more than
ordinary note. The reader is j. Il.
Goodrich of Skowhegan, of the fresh
man class, who won the Interscholastic
Prize Speaking contest, held at the
University of Maine, last May
Mr.. Goodrichs abilities in elocutlon
ere well recognized and ms
readings will contribute no small
amount towards making the program
at the coming concert a strong one.
Since but few of last years members
graduated, the instrumental section OF
the musical organization is by far the
lest that ever has been turned out in
its history. This is the first year that
TOO MANY men turned out-that is, good
,neD-for the mandolin club; and it was
indeed hard for the leader to determine
What members should compose the
club. The banjo orchestra has been
strengthened by valuable additions
from the entering class. and the same
win hold true in regard 10 the banjo
Quartettc.
