COLLEGE BUYS GIVF:
HIGH CLASS SING
o. A. C. Glee Club Program Replete
With Songs and Stunts
Audience Well Pleased.

Heppner was again put in direct
touch with some real college life last
Saturday evening when the Glee
Club of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege made its third successful ap-
pearance in the city Although not
as large as former crowds, the au-
dience which filed the High School
auditorium very comfortably was
none the less appreciative and the
college boys left Heppner with the
knowledge of having made good.
The program this year was un-
usually interesting, combining the
classic and the popular in such
manner that the most critical listen
er could find no fault, and the seeker
after popular entertainment certain
ly had no room for complaint. The
concert opened with a selection by
the club, Twilight is Lovelight,"
Lewis -Rubinstein. The audience was
at once set at ease concerning the rest
of the program for in this opening
number it was plainly evidenced that
the boys had been trained to sing
well. The second number was solo
by Mr.. Stewart Tulley, young man,
small Of stature, but blessed with a
big baritone voice. He was scheduled
to sing Evening Star" from Tam
hauser, but reserved the right to
change. singing song the title of
which the writer did not ascertain.
He responded cheerfully to a very
vigorous encore. "On the Road to
Mandalay" was popular selection
by the O. A. c. quartette. Messrs.
McCollum, Olsen, Tulley and Miller
comprise this very popular branch
of the club and while not as strong
as the quartet which Travelled with
that organization two years ago, they
rank we'll with the troups of that
nature now on the road. "Undine,"
Cadman, was another offering Of the
club which pleased immensely and
was responded to with a popular
song. Olaf Jonasen, student direct
or of the club, had a hard time to get
away from tie audience after bis
song "Mavourneen Roamin." While
his name does not suggest Ireland or
the Irish to any great extent he sings
their songs in manner genuinely
Irish. He responded to the hearty
encore with another verse of the
song. The closing number of the
first part of the program was RE
cessional," Dekoven. This number
was of unusual interest to Heppner
people as the obligato was sung By
Victor Orr, formerly Of this place and
we'll known here. Since leaving
Heppner Victor has studied both
voice and piano and in the concert
Saturday evening performed very
creditably in both branches. He has
a very pleasing voice of first tenor
quality and uses it to good advantage.
The second part of the program
was devoted to funmaking. The first
scene opened with the familiar min
strel setting, Martyr and McCollum
playing lends" and Victor Orr acting
as interlocutor. The ends pulled off
some good ones and the club sang a
popular melody. Mr.. Tulley made a
hit with his reading 'And So Did I,
responding with an encore. J. E. Nc
Collum was exceedingly clever in his
Scotch dialect impersonations. Mar
tyn and Jonasen stirred things up in
a lively manner and threw in one
heaping cup of cheer to stem the
fast waning tide of holiday jollifca-
ton. Martyr is a natural comedian
and leaves his audience with de-
sire for more. The club was then as
sembled to represent typical gath
ering of college lads and sang in sue
cession Hail to Old 0. A. c.
Down Among the Sheltering Palms"
"The Sweetest Girl in Monterey" o.
A. c. Medley; Finale, "My Honolulu
Maid"
Prof. w. F. Gaskins was unable to
accompany the club this year owing
to an unusual press of business at
the holiday season. The work of the
club however, is exceptionally meri-
torious and reflects great credit upon
this capable director.
