sons ago, declined to be a candf- date for reelection at the annual business meeting of the club held at tbe home of Mrs. H. E. Horton last night.
 Mrs. AndZulatis has been one of the most faithful and hard-work- ing members of the club and when Mir. Hart, it's leading spirit up to the present. again insisted upon stepping down from office now that the club is on a firm footing in the ctiy's musical life, Mrs. Andzulatis was chosen as his successor by 8 large majority.

 Much Money "HandIed"
 Despite a critical season from financial standpoint, the club learned it continues as q going concern, showing q slight bank balance for the seasons efforts. Mrs. Andzulatis, who was treasurer until elected president, reported that the total expenses for the year were $46449S, but with two major items of S1OO each still un- paid, bringing the total expenses up 10 s4,S44.9S. Against this the total income was s4,996.47, leaving barely $100 on the right side of the ledger when all bills are met. A bank balance of S351.49 was re- ported without the payment Of these stray bills. In addition, dues totalling $205 were still coming to the club, so that the complete years returns would show q net income of around $500 if all the dues are paid.
 S3,339 Paid to Artists
 The expense of the three artists concerts and the cost Of maintain ing the Camp school concerts were
 
 Quired $3,3G9 in fees alone. with total cost including incidentals of $4'164 for these three concerts.
 May Quit Camp School
 Maintenance of the regular Camp school concerts was reported an eX- pensiye undertaking and in view of the decreased attendance during the year it was thought advisable to dis continue these concerts in the fu- ture.
 A committee was authorized to confer with the various Parents and Teachers associations relative to having these bodies meet the eX- penscs of putting on the fire public school concerts next year and furnish pianos in first class condition. The public school concerts, started last year for the first time, were for the most part very successful and greatly appreciated, but it was learned that the club has been put to expense through them as well as furnishing the program free Of charge. The ob- jeCt of the committee will be to ar range with the F. and T. associations for Q more equitable arrangement, and If the Camp school concerts are eliminated the club will be able to furnish it's own piano when needed for the public school concerts, pro lidiug the P. and T. associations ar range for the hauling
 More music at the house meetings was advocated as substitutes for the Camp school concerts, and this prob- ably will be q feature next year.

 Miss Hazel F. Harris, general sec retary, handed in her resignation on the score she lacked sufficient time to attend to the duties. In view of her interest and acquaintance with the details of the club work. she was elected as an honorary active mem- 1 Der.

 The Scholarship Fund 4 philanthropic citizen having do- 1 mated s250 to the club year ago to be devoted to providing scholar 1 ship at some conservatory for a T -yt i,, following a competition, and it hay i ing been found that the sum was in ] sufficient to provide such tuition at any accredited conservatory. the club l decided to put on a special concert i next fall to add sufficient money to l the fund to make the original in- tent of the donor possible.
 Two Artists Concerts It was definitely announced that | there would be two artists concerts i during the 1926-27 season, as the i original plans of the club called for. i After considerable correspondence | ne club finally succeeded in book | Ing Mary Lewis, famed new so- prano who has been skyrocketing in i the musical heavens, and the Little i symphony orchestra. It was felt | that these two strong drawing cards, | the Little Symphony including | George Barrerre, the worlds great i est flautist should prove eminently | successful and satisfactory.
