give concert in Eutaw, and next day
they will go on to Livingston, where they
are scheduled to sing on Friday night.

gramme is promised than was rendered
before. DIR. Hope and Mr.. Daily will ac-
company the club as flute and banjo So

several readings.
Owing to the fact that the banquet
which was to be given on the 10th of

at which the Glee club was to be present,
has had to be postponed indefinitely, the
club will probably not make its proposed
trip to Montgomery, Troy and Union
Springs.

arrangements for the senior contest for
the trustees prize has decided to hold
the contest on commencement day. At
first it was intended that only two speak
ers, to be chosen in a preliminary trial,

who intended speaking decide that for

have three speakers. About seven seniors
will enter the preliminary contest.
