Mr. Callahan, who is now blind, became so charmed over the way Miss Persis Burns sang "Give Me'One Rose To Remember," the noted compositor of songs presented Miss Burns with a beautiful boouet of roses. Gertrude Poster, formerly a member of the Stetson Glee club was instrumental in bringing the concert to Nvw Smyrna. Under the "Girl Reserves" of this little city, Miss Foster's demand for the Glee club was graciously responded to by 'Director Mrs. Marian Dow Kenefick The meeting of the association will ! be held in Tallahassee this year.

The boys Quar- tel went over big in their number, cut il led: "La Spagnola" and finished as an encore: Midnight Tragedy." "Long Ago," rendered by the Girl's Glee cluh. proved one of the popular 'numbers of the evening, and was so well received, the young ladies were lavish in their return of "extra numbers" in compliment to the appreciation shown by the audience. In the full chorus numbers, harmony prevailed throughout, satisfying the large audience that a well trained chorus of voices had come to their city from Stetson university. "The Lark" harmonized by the entire chorus proved decidedly a number the hen: e appreciated. Letters and telegrams from various parts of the state,' seeking concerts have been flowing into Director Mrs. Kenefick. with expectations that a rather busy season will he in store for the Glee club it all invitailons are fulfilled. MUSIC CONSERVATORY WILL GIVE A RECITAL Sig house. Nelson .White nosed out the field for first place, and Mell D. Smith was the only person to get in the coveted first five. Anderson shot a 70 for third place while Deaton played a 75 for fourth, and Carroll Runyon placed a nice 78 for fifth place. It will be remembered by all the followers that the first tournament was won by Loy Anderson. Loy played an exceptional game and Bur- prised the whole field by shooting a 78. If things go on this Avay everyone on the campus will think that the Sigma Nu house is a Country cluh. and that, all the boys spend their evenings improving their game.

That, is the new "tied and "Lens-and-shutter" is the password to success in the business of n-^king a college annual. Tbe book will be full of life if the camera has caught the college in action. It will be snappy if the snapshot friends have been on the job. And so on down through the list of good qualities which are ascribed to the good annual. They all point to the fact that, your yearbook isvprimari.ly to be looked at and looked through and looked over again and again—and only in a very limited sense is it a book to be read. Did you ever stop to think that nobody ever asks to read your annual? "Let, me look at your annual" is the familiar way of putting it. The motion picture producers have learned the lesson and are paring their subtitles down to a minimum. It should be so in producing an annual. Why has the writer said this Simply to show the importance of the student body rallying around the Staff to help produce an annual worthy of our school. We know that the attractiveness of th© annual depends largely upon pictures, and the staff can only print those pictures that are turned over to them by the different classes and organizations. Some -feel that they are not able Io have their pictures in the annual, but suppose tlie entire student body felt that way? What kind of an annual could the staff produce? This is Stetson's greatest year. Let's have a record of its greatest year in pictures. Will you help? But remember, every day counts, and if the student body can't take -a little time off to send in their pictures, one of fwo. things Avill happen—tbe annual will come off without your picture, or it will come off late. The latter must not happen, and if the former happens, what kind of an annual will it be?
