Glee Club HE organization of the Short Course Glee Club marks a new departure in the winter activities at the agricultural college. Like most of the other student movements, the club owes its birth to the E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, its organization being proposed at a meeting of that society early in December. A committee, composed of XVilson Howell, Charles L. A. Beckers and James McCracken, was directly responsible for the forma- tion of the club, and the efhciency of these men and of Mr. Hoffman, whose services were secured as coach, as well as the interest taken by Mrs. Helen Tobelman, who acted as accompanist, were important factors in making the club a success. The Glee Club deserves great credit for the results accomplished under the difficulties encountered. The work being started comparatively late in the term, has given the singers little opportunity for proper preparation, and this opportunity was further decreased by the late arrival of their music. But in spite of these handicaps, the enthusiasm displayed and the persistency of the members throughout have made possible the appearance of the club at several meetings of the E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, where their efforts were greatly appreciated. Beside the pleasure derived from their connection with the club, its 1'11C1'1'l- bers may fcel that they have established a precedent in Short Course activities which will in all probability serve as an incentive for prompt and systematic organization of similar clubs in future classes.

' OLLOWTING the precedent established hy the 1913-14 class, a call for volunteers was made early in the term, with the ohject of organizing a Short Course orchestra. The call met with great success and an enthusi- astic body of students promptly arranged for the first rehearsal. Since their first appearance at an E. B. Voorhees Agricultural Society, the orchestra has enjoyed an enviable popularity, and their excellent attainments have not lacked appreciation, even from outside sources, for the favorable comment of the press quickly caused the organization to receive invitations to entertain at other than Short Course gatherings. The rendering of its services at several social functions in New Brunswick, not only lent credit to the organization, but also reflected honor upon the Short Course student body for including such meme hers among them. The Short Course Orchestra fills a great part in making the 1915 class the hanner class of the Short Courses. 91
