Plans are now in the process of formation for the annual Glee Club tour which, this year, will take the songsters on an extended trip through Florida and will culminate in Havana, Cuba. Concerts will probably be given in Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami, Daytona Beach, and Havana. The club will travel by bus to Miami and will take a boat from that point to Cuba. Last year, the club, headed by its director, Maurice Mattison, made a round of the eastern seaboard and sang in Washington, Philadelphia, New York and other cities. The concert in New York was given in Steinway Hall before a packed house and a most profound impression was made. The Metropolitan press made most favorable comment upon the performance of the club and many people high in musical circles were enthusiastic in their remarks. The feature of the program was a group of manuscript numbers which were rendered for the first time. Several of these numbers have since then been published and dedicated to Mr. Mattison and the club. Practice for the current season will begin early next week and all students with musical ability are urged to try out for the club. A large number of contestants for the various places is expected, both because of the prominence of the group and the quality of its work. The attractive tour planned will also have much to do with inducing students to try out. The officers of the Glee Club are as follows: Henry Adams of Conway, President; Bomar Etters of Columbia, Vice-president; Charles Bushaw of Greenville, Manager; Ed. Sallenger of Florence, Librarian, and Frank Wardlaw of Spartanburg, publicity manager. u. 8. o. President?T. C.

Plexico, who lives in Blacksburg, was coming to Columbia with Leo W. Wellhouse, traveling salesman of Richmond, Va., when the car in which they were riding left the road and struck a telephone pole on the Winnsboro road. Mr. Mellhouse, who was driving, could not account for the accident, other than the fact that he glanced to one side and the crash came before he realized what was happening. Both occupants of the car were rushed to the Columbia hospital where it was found that Plexico was suffering from a broken jaw and a fracture of the skull and minor cuts and bruises. He died a few days later. Wellhouse sustained a fractured knee and a severely lacerated leg. Plexico is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor K. Plexico and was hitch-hiking to Columbia to enter his second year at the university. He was picked up by Mr. Wellhouse, somewhere between Charlotte and Columbia.

Mr. Sims was educated in the Davis School and the public schools of Columbia and at the University of South Carolina.

In his high school and college days he was an athlete, but his health failed soon after leaving college. Mr. Sims was a sincere Christian young man, and his death will be regretted by a large number of admiring friends. U. 8. O.
