The Students' Association of Manistique High School has had little, if any, trouble this year in securing its Lecture Course entertainers. Last year the entertainers were in three cases either snowbound or delayed in some other unaccountable way. The first number of this year's course was the Metropolitan Orchestra. The orchestra was composed of a pianist, a violinist, a bass violinist, anal a musician who played the drum and numerous other instruments. They played classical and popular music to a pleased and appreciative audience. The second group of entertainers were the Tyrolean Yodlers. These people yodled and sang old ballads, classical music, and a few of the more popular pieces. For about two weeks after their departure, all that could be heard around Manistique'was some young enthusiast, devoting himself to the enjoyment of yodling. The third number was a demonstration by an electrical inventor of na' tional fame, Mr. Montraville Wood. It was he who helped in the manu- facture of a poisonous gas to be used in the late war. Putting together several different metals in a bottle and heating them, he showed his au- dience the many beautiful colors he could produce. He also gave demonstra- tions with the great American gyroseope, explaining its properties, pur- pose, and use. Most oi the people think that this number was the most histructive entertainment given in the course. The next number was a delightful lecture by the Little Mother of the Prisons, Maude Ballington Booth. She told of her work in the prisons throughout the United States and pleaded for the sympathy of the public for the families of prisoners and for the prisoners upon their return to civilian life. The last number was a musical program. The members were a pianist, a violinist, and a tenor singer, Harold Proctor. The latter rendered many pleasing selections from great operas, a few old ballads, and popular songs. The violinist who had been for the past three years with the American soldiers in France and Germany, entertaining them with her violin, gave us classical music, the most pleasing of which was the Sere- nade by Schubert. A great number of the audience pronounced this last number the greatest success of the season. On the whole, this year's Lyceum Course has been a decided success. We hope that next year's course will be as great a success anl appreciated as fully. A very pleasing concert was given by the Alma College Glee Club in the Auditorium on March 29. Several 'complete choruses were rendered by the entire club. Then. Lee Sharrar, President of the Association, favored his hearers with sev- eral selected readings. After this, Clarence' Thoms, violinist, rendered some solos highly pleasing to the audience. The program was concluded by the singing of the Alma College Song after which all went to the gymnasium for a social time.
