meeting of the Glce Club was held at
Chase hall. About 80 men were pres
|ent, over half of them being Fresh
men. Some of the new music for the
year was given out. This music lis of
a somewhat different type then for
|merly, since it is specially adapted to
Glee Club work and quartet work.
The prospects are promising for an
excellent season Most of last years
veterans, among them Elwood Clcve-
land, the leader of the Club, Harry
Mckenney, A. 3. Levine, Neil Co.
nant the assistant manager of the
combined clubs and David Thomp-
son, can be counted on. Although it
is too early to make any definite
statement in regard to the new ma
terial, it is safe to say that there is
much latent ability among the Fresh
man class. From such material, an
excellent aggregation can be deyel-
oped. Plans are already being made
for the coming season. This year a
quartet will be featured, an innova-
ton which will add to the attraction
of the Clubs. An extensive schedule
is being mapped out by Elwood
Cleveland, manager Of the combined
Glee and Mandolin Clubs. The tour
will take place the week after Christ
mas. 1t is already definitely assured
that the clubs will visit Boston,
Portland and Biddeford, and CORES
pondence is going on with Provi-
dence. Westbrook and other cities.
