University Of South Carolina, Co
l1mbia. Dec S.-By far the most en-
joyable event that has occurred on
the campus this fal, was the annual
performance Of the University Min
strel Club, held in the chapel on Fri
day night. The members Of this
club have been practicing; for the
past four weeks and their efforts GER
tainly have been well directed. New
er has there been given a better am
ateur show on this campus.
Great appreciation was shown by
the rounds of applause that swept
through the audience. The chapel
was entirely filed and even standing
room was at a premium. The jokes
were all new ani were especially Of
| a local character. The musical num-
bers, both the solos and the quar-
| tettes, were exceptionally well rem
| dered, while the chorus was indeed
strong.
It is difficult matter to select the
best features, if so they may be term
ed, since everything was Of such
high standard. Among those to be
particularly noted was the acting of
James and Tobias, two Of the end
me,. The buck and wing dancing Of
Silcox and the solos of the two Lump
kins were splendid. In fact, nothing
but praise, is due to each and every
member Of the club.
During the intermissions popular
selections were played by the Univer-
-sity Glee Club, under the leadership
of A. H. Jarecky.
The club is considering the advis-
ability of reproducing the show in
some OF the neighboring cities. A
! trip to Sumter is most favorably
spoken Of.
The participants were: S. L.
Wolfe, interlocutor; H. MEG. Holmes,
K. M. James, j. C. Massey and A. c.
Tobias, Jr., end men; Blake, Croft,
Davis, DuBose, Harner, Hart, Hen
derson, Hayward, r; Holmes, A.
Lumpkin, II. Lumpkin, Reeves, Sill

H. MEG. Holmes, manager; Hey
ward, assistan manager; Miss Jean
Finn, musician, Holmes, Heyward
and Jones, electricians; A. Lumpkin,
director; DuBose, advance agent,
and Jones, stage director.
Athletics have also claimed some
of the attention of the students dur
ing the past week. The gymnasium
and boxing classes, under the physi-
cal director, Mr.. Eugene Mccarthy,
have gone on regularly.
A lively interest has been awaken
ed in tennis since the recent tourna-
ment Of the South Carolina Tennis
association held in Greenville. At
this meet Carolina was represented
by Messrs. Green, Hayward, Man
ming and Rich. A tournament is now
in progress among the students Of
the University for prizes donated by
the merchants Of Columbia.
