CLUBS And NEWS
By John Hope, II
THE INTRODUCTION
Freshman week, registration day, and then the
beginning of the never ceasing attack of our
“sympathetic” faculty: “taps,” calistentics,
scrimmage, and then the initial kick-off; college
is opened. Here we grind for nine long months,
but there is more to college life than the endless
series of classes and services- The development
and pleasure derived from the various extra- cur
ricula activities of the campus are almf ">t im
measurable and every man should strive to make
his college life just as full and eventful as he
possibly can without forgetting his prime aim.
So, while the year is in its infancy, we ask
every Morehouse Man to link himself up with
some phases of the extra-curricula life of the col
lege. If you have forensic aspirations, the Debat
ing Society is open to you; if the “Sock and Bus
kin” calls, you will be quite at home in the drama
tic club. For the younger students of the cam
pus the Comrades Club offers many pleasures.
The gridiron, court, and diamond are open to
every Morehouse Man and if his athletic pro
wess merits it, his path may lead to a coveted
membership in the M. Club. Our musicians are
called to the fold of the Glee Club and Orchestra.
From the enumeration of the many activities
available, you see that there is no reason why
any one should be left entirely outside of the
“ breast-works” of college extra-curriculas. So,
in conclusion, let us make our Campus Club live
the richest and most active term in the history
of the institution- Then keep the Club Editor
well posted as to your accomplishments so that
everybody will know what we are doing.
The Glee Club and Orchestra
The musicians of the campus got an early start
and, under the able direction of Prof. Kemper
Harreld, they are hard at work perfecting their
repertoire for the coming season.
Last year was a stella year for the organization
as it made a highly successful tour of the Mid-
West including, among others, such cities as Chi
cago, Indianapolis and Detroit. But with the
wealth of new material, the organization intends
to break all past records of achievement during
the coming season.
The orchestra numbers about thirty-six, at pre
sent; while the glee club has approximately forty
members. There is an able nucleus of veterans
around which the new machine Will be built and
it is thought that this group will be a potent fac
tor in the coming financial campaign of the col
lege.
The College Debating Society
The vim and vigor with which the College De-
