The songsters showed exceptionally good training in this dif- ficult piece. "Normandie March" was next given bj' the banjo club. After this the glee club made its last appearance. They sang the jolly, old tune of "Jay Bird," and "My Queen" ended the entertainment, which everyone pro- nounced the best glee club concert ever given by a Lake Forest organization. The glee club is made up of the following collegiate bards:

J. M. Eakins, leader; R. B. Campbell, accom- panist; W. H. Dudley, J. B. Williamson, W. L. Smith, G.S. Wilcox, first tenors; W. L. Brav, H. C. Millington, L. C. Mudge and W. E.

Baker is leader of the banjo club and L. C. Mudge of the mandolin club. The banjo club is made up as follows: M. K. Baker and C. E. Keener, banjeaurines: M. J. EAKINS. J. E. Carver and E. R.Brown, first banjos; F. Smiley, second banjo; J. A. Anderson, piccolo banjo; O. H. Keller, mandolin; E. M. Fraden- out in goodly numbers. The program as burgh, J. A. Anderson and J. E. Kennedy, given was a complete success and showed truitars. hard practice and good leadership. The first part of the entertainment opened with the rousing "Student Chorus," by the glee, banjo and mandolin clubs, and was fol- lowed by "Schneider's Band," by the glee club, as an encore. Then came "Dear Old Alma Mater," the words of which were written by A. W. Doran, '93. E. M. Fradenburgh then sang- "Faint Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady," with the glee club joining on the "Cupid" chorus. This was greeted with a storm of applause and was probably the most popular number on the program. The banjo club next made its appearance and treated the audience to the "Columbian Student's March," which they executed so well that no one would be satisfied until they had returned and again exhibited their skill. "My Flo" and "The Miller's Song" were next sung R. O. STOOPS. very sweetty by the glee club. "Three Little Following are the players in the Darkies" was the encore. C. C.
