The Fargo College Glee club, under
the direction of Bertrand Alan Orr, re-
turned Friday morning from a weeks

most successful in every way. March

to Fergus Falls, where they spent Sat-
urday and Sunday. The regular pro-
grarnme was given in the Methodist
church, Saturday evening. Sunday

ices at the Methodist church, where
Director Orr sang a solo. In the aft
ernoon, the club sang two numbers
at the services held at the state hos
pital and here Mr.. Orr also sang a
solo. Sunday night they sang 1t the
operahouse at a local option mass
meeting. Monday evening the trip was
continued t2 Wadena, where the con-

church. In the absence of a piano at
this place. George r. Kurtz played the
March from Tannhauser ca the pipe
organ, in place Of his regular piano
number. Frazee was the next point
and the regular programme was given
in the operahouse, under the auspices
of the Methodist church. The pro-
gramme, at Lake Park, was given un-
der the operahouse management.
The last concert was given Thurs
day evening in Johnson hall at Haw-
ley.
The members were entertained at
the peoples homes at all Of the towns,
excepting Lake Park, where they were
entertained at the Lake Park hotel.
The boys made many acquaintance
and friends, who expressed a desire
to hear them again. The audiences
were all of goodly proportions, repre-
sentative and enthusiastic, with the
exception of Frazee, The audience at
this place was small on account Of
the large lumber mill being closed.
The soloists were warmly received
everywhere. Mr.. Kurtz was every
where handicapped with either a very
tune, but in spite of this, encores were
demanded. Mr. Codding made a hit
at each concert and had to respond
to encores. Mr.. Orr's vocal numbers
were very much appreciated and in
some of the towns, double encores
were demanded.
President Creegan surprised the club
by making a special trip to HawIey to
hear the last programme of the trip.
