A full se o drums was secured, besides a big bass viol. These instruments were pur- chased by the director, as authorized by the vote of the combined Glee Clubs and will consequently be at the disposal of the organization as long as there is a member who is willing to make use of them. The orchestra met only a few times at the first of the year, and was getting just fairly started in work which would prove to be useful to the school, when circumstances forced a halt, and work was dropped until a more favorable time might again make real progress possible. It is sin- cerely hoped that the coming year, with its new students, will bring a better prospect for our orchestra department.

The 'TRAIL 63 Meds Glee Club ' HE Men's Glee Club of the College of Idaho is organized for the purpose of 55 offering' to all capable men in the college the opportunity of securing vocal IT! we X ti umm, md CXIJCIICHCG in conceit and opem W01k, undel the able leadel l Fa ' ii l Phi W X' i Dil I CJ l ship of Prof. Frederic Fleming Beale. It is indeed unusual and exception- 4 ally fortunate for a school of this size and location to be associated with such a capable man as Prof. Beale. Whether appearing in the role of performer, teacher, cond.uctor, or composer, he scarcely has an equal in the Northwest. The high standards set by productions of other years has been well upheld in this ycar's work. At the beginning of the school year Prof. Beale started by giving' a short course in the principles of correct singing, laying' particular emphasis on breath control and tone production. T'hen keeping' these principles in mind he started work on the songs for the regjular annual concert, which was Well rendered at the Presbyterian church on the evening of March 22. At the urgent request of the citizens of Parma the concert was repeated in that city on the evening of March 29. In both of these concerts Mr. R. H. Zercher, the noted basso-cantante of New York City, assisted the club as soloist. The Glee Club is especially grateful to Mrs. F. F. Beale for her able and until-ing services as accompanist. -' The Men's Glee Club united with the Girls' Glee Clulb in the production of the comic opera The Wizard of the Nile, by Victor Herbert, which was successfully staged on the evenings of May 23 and 24.
