J CLEE CLUB. URING the month of November somebody said, Let's get up a Glee Club, which was a starter, but the final did not end in a Glee Club, but A Melodious Banjo Chorusf' The Chorus immediately elected a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, and the following members were elected to nll the positions: W. Bartine, President and Leader, VV. E. Barrett, Vice-President, H. M. Gates, Secretary and Treasurer. As a trophy an assessment of five cents from each fellow was ordered for new music, but we still clung to our old books, the College Songs. Our meeting-place was the Faculty room. Say, but it was won- derful how the boys would stop singing when a professor would come in. Our crack tenors-how harmonizing when they would strike the high notes. Oh, if Billy could only get Zlmfe, and Dan tone down a little. - Owing to all the A boys being large, their voices were large also, so we had to look further down for small voices, and VVayne, Fugate and Leidy were the selected ones. , But those beautiful bass Qbasso discustoj, one in particular, Papa's Willie, was so bass that it was not bass at all, and when spoken ,to, the same old chestnut: My voice is nothing yet. Never mind, his girl evidently liked it, for after he left her, in the entertainment to go on the stage, she said, Wl1y did you not stay up there longer. But you see Buck had introduced her to a pretty fellow, so that accounts for it. 58
