Glee Club May Go on Trip to New York City Invitation Extetded to Club to Enter National Contest in That City MANY SONGSTERS TRY OUT If State Championship Is Won Club Will Go to Birming ham for Contest Prospects of a trip to New York have aroused unusual interest in the Carol'na Glee Club this year. There were so many applicants out the first week that the old music room was filled to overflowing, and the big room on the bottom floor of the Y. has had to be utilized for practice. Mr. Matterson states that the voices are unusually good, and there is no reason why the club should not win the state' glee club contest which will be held here the second week in No vember. If the state contest is won, a tr:p will be made in February to Birmingham, Ala. for the Southern contest. Huger King, president of the club has been working hard for several fine trips. The first will be made in the lower state, probably taking in Sumter, Lake City, Florence, -Mullins, bishopville, and Camden. The club has been working hard in preparation for this trip, and an excellent program will undoubtedly be the result. The glee club season will culminate in a tr p to New York, and arrange nents are already being made for a schedule that will take in the towns along the route. The club has been invited to enter the National Contest which will be held at New York, and if it is as success'ful as it promises to lIe at present this will undoubtedly a; :ione. The glee clubbers will get a rest for the remainder of the week, as Mr. Matterson has been :nvited by Mrs. sprague Coolidge to attend the muw festival at Wastington as the represen tative of South Carolina. This is an anusual distinction, as only the leading mrusicians of the country have been hus honored. -This will necessitate iis he'ng away for the remainder ',f he week, but he is expected back for \londay afternoon's practice. - U.S.C. - Press Club to Meet at Miss Livingston's Anyone taking Course in Journ alism or Working on Publications Invited The Press club will meet next Wed iesday evening at the home of Miss M'argaret Livingston at 1915 College treet.
