MEN'S GLEE CLUB
At the beginning of the semester ,
there was organized an organization
which has given much pleasure to the
college men who are members of it.
There had been much talk of such an
organization since the last one of three
years ago. Tuesday night some of
the members who are also members
of the Civic Chorus, sang in the Concert ' given by them under the direction
of Professor Clark. There are many
fine voices in the Glee Club, -which
is directed also by Mr. Clark. Thoy
are practicing several numbers "j ust
now to sing in Chapel where they will
prove to the student body that they
are worthy of your support. This
support can be given when they put
on their first concert that is coming
soon. Watch for them in Chapel.
Mrs. Janell—"The baby -wont stop
crying."
Jiggs—"I£ he don 't sto p soon I'll
sing to him.'?
Mrs. Janell—"I have already threatened him with that but it didn 't do
any good,"

refute the following claims for Athletics :
1. They supply safe outlet for
physical energy.
2. Athletics can provide an education in sportsmanship.
3. Respecting Rules of the game,
as laid down for athletics breeds
better citizens.
4. Clean athletics make real "sportsmen " rather than the less desirable
sports. On the strength of these claims,
then, it is safe to say that athletics
do have a place among our school
activities.
