THE COLLEGE STAR
GLEE CLUB RETURNS
FROM WEST TEXAS TRIP
(Continued from page One)
ning service in Uvalde. In both ci-
ties large congregations enjoyed the
sacred programme consisting of some
of the most beautiful classical and
sacred songs in musical literature, in-
terpreted by the chorus, quartette, and
soloists.
Monday, in Del Rio, the club gave
one of its most appreciated concerts
to the largest audience entertained on
this tour. Del Rio is the home of
Lucille Love, and the large auditor-
ium of her Alma Mater was filled
to capacity. All the boys enjoyed
their appearance in Del Rio espec-
ially because of “scenery". The Cur-
io shop-keepers in Villa Cuna, Old
Mexico, are now restocking because
of the visit the boys paid them.
Tuesday the boys drove all day
from Del Rio to San Angelo. Angelo
is a live and growing city, being an
oil center of West Texas and the
largest wool center in the world. Wed-
nesday the Glee Club boys were the
luncheon guests of the Santa Anna
Lions Club. Although this is a small
place, the people were so cordial and
turned out so enthusiastic to the con-
cert, that Santa Anna will long be
remembered by the Glee Club as one
of the places which goes the “second
mile” of hospitality. Here some of
the boys procured ammunition and
went “golf-hunting” in the afternoon.
The next day the club made its
appearance in Winters, the home town
of Dell Barber, the basso. In this
pretty little city the people did ev-
erything to make the boys enjoy be-
ing in their fine homes.
The High School auditorium in Gor-
man was filled with an enthusiastic,
appreciative audience Friday night.
In Ranger a number of the boys took
in a track meet before the program
and everybody took in plenty of sand
during a sandstorm. The senior girls
served the club with plenty to eat
just before the program.
Sunday morning the sacred concert
was given in the Methodist church in
Stephenville, Rev. J. M. Perry, form-
erly of San Marcos, entertained the
club royally during their brief stay
there. Stephenville is the home of
Cecil Allbritton, and everybody was
there to hear their native son. Sun-
day evening the program was given
in the elegant old First Presbyterian
church in Fort Worth. A large con-
gregation received the spiritual bene
fit of the sermon in song. Monday the
cluib traveled to Waco. Here the pro-
gram was given in the chapel of Bay-
lor University, the alma mater of our
Although
large as
should be expected in an institution
of Baylor’s size and standing, the
Glee Club gave a concert there
which the foremost musical critic of
the school described as a “high grade,
comprehensive program, artistically
rendered.”
After hours of travel from Waco,
the boys have finally come back to
San Marcos. The climax of this sea-
son’s work is to be the concert given
in the Baptist Tabernacle Friday
night at 8 p. m., March 30th. The
boys have the program fr*sh in
mind, and are intent on giving the
best concert they have ever given.
“The best for the best.”

Former Missionary to Japan Speaks
to Girl Reserves.
On Saturday, March 17th, the Girl
Reserves were favored by a lecture
given by Miss Mayo, who was form-
erly a missionary to Japan. Much in-
terest was manifested by the Girl
Reserves when they were told that
Miss Mayo would speak, and every
member was present, despite the fact
that classes were running on the
hourly schedule, for Mr. Wiley, who
is always looking out for the best
interests of students, excused all Girl
Reserves from 10:30 classes.
Miss Mayo’s lecture was very in-
teresting and instructive. She paint-
ed vivid word-pictures of Japanese
life and costumes. Her splendid talk
was closed by a plea to all Girl Re-
serves that they understand the Japa-
nese and show a friendly attitude to
their Oriental brothers and sisters.
Much handclapping followed Miss
Mayo’s speech, and every Girl Re-
serve felt that she had received a
real treat.
Operetta Well Under Way.
Practice has enthusiastically begun
on the operetta “Bits O’Blarney”, to
be given by the high school depart-
ment of th^ Demonstration school on
April 16th. Every practice has been
especially gratifying to the director,
Miss Barton, for everyone hastened
into this activity with great enthus-
iasm and much “pep.” This is a truly
representative affair, and talent is
selected from all'classes of the high
school.
March 24th, a very interesting and
unique program was presented. lone
Biggs told several legends of Greek
muisicians. These stories were fol-
lowed by a piano solo, “Marrisus”,
(by Mary Terrell. Ruby Barrow then
told the story of the burning of Rome,
which was presented in a piano solo,
“The Burning of Rome”, by Anna
Jane Henson. Mr. Tanner then gave
the critic’s report, and further added
to the enjoyment of the meeting by
telling to the members several Greek
legends.
Garretts Enjoy Program.
At the regular meeting of the Gar-
retts on Thursday, March 22nd, a very
enjoyable musical program was given
by the College Ramblers. “Those boys
sure can play, and we want ’em back
real soon! Yea Garretts! Yea Ramb-
lers!”
Chem. Prof. “What excuse have you
for being late?”
Late Student (breathless): “I ran
so fast I didn’t have time to think
up
one.
Boy to his Scotch Father: “Say
dad, I dreamed last night that I
found a quarter.”
Father: “Well, sonny, you’ve been
such a good boy I am going to let
you keep it.”

Girl
Reserves Are Again Favored
With Lecture.
At the regular meeting of the Girl
Reserves Saturday, March 24th, Miss
Sadie Wilson, a former missionary to
China and now a religious worker,
favored them with a very interesting
and instructive lecture. The subject
of her talk was “Chinese Life and
Costumes”. She, like Miss Mayo,
closed with an appeal to all Girl
Reserves to understand, and show the
Christian attitude toward, the Chinese.
Every Girl Reserve present greatly
enjoyed the lecture, and all .the mem-
bers are looking forward with eager-
ness to a visit from another mis-
sionary.
