Many favorable comments have been received on the concerts which the club has given this year. The most successful out-of-town concert was given in Kerrville under the auspices of Schreiner Institute. Fifty-five girls out of over a hundred possibilities were selected for the glee club this year. The organiza- tion and the spirit of co-operation of the members have helped the club greatly in its progress. Mr. Gilbert E. Schramm of San Antonio has been the director of the club for the last five years, and his untiring efforts have played no small part in aiding the organization to obtain its present success. Miss Dorothy Gebauer is the faculty sponsor and chaperon on all out-of-town trips. The Varsity Co-Ed Quartette, composed of Jane Bland, Seawillow Haltom, Florence Atkinson, and Lois Thompson, has been one of the popular features of the club for a number of years. The quartette has ap- peared at the law banquet, the meeting of the house-mothers, several churches, and on a number of University programs this year. The octette, which is composed of the members of the quartette, together with Martha Pearl Hollis, Peggy Ayer, Hallie Orr, and Ruth Kraushaar, has completed its second year as an important unit of the club. Soloists of the Girls ' Glee Club this year include Frances Revell, Jane Bland and Annabel Murray. Caroline Williams directed the vaudeville skits which furnished the modern touch to the programs.

H U 1 - JVLen 5 virlee l lub OFFICERS George Clarke . Charles N. Zivley Francis Hale . , Harry Rode Gilbert E. Schramm . President Manager . Accompanist Librarian . Director The season of 1931-32 began when over a hundred and fifty men appeared for the tryouts late in September. After careful study of the voices and qualifications of the various applicants, the number was cut down to sixty. The first Austin concert was given in January and was heard by a large, enthusiastic crowd. On the last day of January the club made an appearance in the Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio for the benefit of the unemployed of that city. Over five thousand people attended this concert and several thousand dollars were turned over to the various civic groups of San Antonio. The club is planning two tours for the spring. The first, a trip to Laredo, San Antonio, and Monterrey, Mexico, is to begin March 31. The second, a tour to Temple, Cleburne, Denton, Dallas, and Belton, begins April 18. The trip to Monterrey marks the first time that the Men ' s Glee Club has ever filled an engagement on foreign soil. The Men ' s Glee Club of 1931-32 has had the most successful year from the standpoint of tours, calibre of entertainment given, and membership that it has had in its many years of existence. Under the guidance of Mr. Gilbert E. Schramm, who is directing the club for the fourth year, the group has come to be recognized as one of the outstanding men ' s choruses in this country. The work of Mr. Hale has been of the highest type both musically and otherwise. George Clarke has labored unceasingly for the betterment of the group. Charles N. Zivley has succeeded in carrying The University of Texas Men ' s Glee Club over thousands of miles of territory and into nearly every section of Texas during his years as manager.
