The spring concert of the freshman glee and bango clubs was given last night in Brattle Hall. The singing of the Glee Club was quite good considering the disadvantages to which the club has been put during the winter. With no other place to practice in than the room of the Y. M. C. A. in Lawrence Hall, and with an extremely small number of first tenors to choose from, the club did as well as could be expected.
The concert cannot be spoken of without mentioning the unusual lack of energy shown by the freshman class as a whole, both in the sale of tickets and in attending the concert. So small an audience as was present last night necessarily hampered the work of the clubs, and it is only fair to them to attribute any failure on their part to the want of enthusiasm among the freshmen.
The Banjo Club played very well, although the use of banjourines entirely in place of banjos had a tendency to deaden the sound somewhat. They played the "Gladiator March" and the "Rover Galop" especially well, receiving an encore after each. The programme was about the same as that of most of the freshman clubs, the old songs, "Alikazander," "Three Glasses," "Courtship," "Mary, Mary," and "Piper Heidsick" forming the body of it. "We Meet Again Tonight" and "The Pope" were rather new songs and were sung very well. After the concert there was dancing until eleven o'clock.
