some students guitar, or the mellow cbc-rus
or h dosen or more voices chiming into a
waving concord of sweet tenor, bass, barl-

Such a night is often lobe enjoyed on
the campus of the University of Georgia.
Such hours are brought to the college boy
by the merry old month of May, each ytar
at that period when

One of the sweetest little serenades that
are beard from the college boya la that old
melody:
"How can I leave thee;
How eaa I break apart
Tioo that have bound mo elooo,
Close iova tot bee?"
But, the sentiment is always apoiled by a
anoden plunge straight from the sublime
into the rediculout when the fellows will
rorget all nboot the "ties” that were sup
posed to be bioding them ao “close,” and
will fly oil' with all the iifeof which their
young socle are capable, and about:
"I want to ass Mias Carolina,
Sbt met me at the door,
And told me that I needn’t come
To see her any more—Oh!”

UI.EE CLUB CHANTS.
Speaking of good singing brings to miad
what the University Glee Club has accom
plished. The first organizai ion of its kind
in the South, it launched forth upon ail
untried held, aud its efforts were attended
with complete success.
On aoy clear night if you are within a
radius of a, quarter of a mile from ibe cam
pus, just after the supper hour you may
hear half a dozen voices resounding on the
balmy evening ail. They are members of
lire Giee Club, aud with them, singing ia a
pastime. Maoy of them iiave become fa
mous ss singers. Toe clear and sounding
tenor of Charlie Nisbelt can be beard in
■he distance like that of the troubadour of
old, and tar sweeter is it unaccompanied
by distracting instruments. Wherever you
rind him you can enjoy bis song, rm the
campus, in the cuoir, on the stage or at the
private musicale.
Park Howell a tenor, though Jifferent, la
none the less delighllu , and for the sere
nade is unsurpassed. It is the boys’ delight
after a hard week’s work, to throw their
books aside on a Friday night,and start up
on a serenade. The question is never asked,
“Where shall we gof” On no, it is nlways
fioement with overflowing animal spirits,
in position a poo the diamond; and with
hopes of victory mingled with fears, to
bear the umpires’, "Play ball, gentlemen,”
If you have seen a game between .the
students yon know well the enthusiasm
and excitement prevalent upon each an oc
casion. Each of the spectators bss bis fa-
vorite team, and often a favorite player,for
whom be has shoots or words ot encour
agement, end for their opponent some
shout of derision when an error is made.
Probably hacking a player, as it is called,
m often the result of errors. 8iooe the
first lergue game the Fresh team has been
toe favorite with most of the oolookers and
especial! pitcher Frank Hetty, wkoae play
ing bss been phenomenal. With him in
cite box, many a mao at the bat, after the
umpire had scoredjlwo strikes against him
has heard the cry, “come, now. Jack,
you're about due.” Many are the ironical
phrases which the boys thus have burled
si them.
“Get him a basket,” was one which gral.
ed np«o ao unfortunate's ears, when he
unluckily let a ground ball pass him.
Ii u comical to see Billy Grumbling go
to the bat, smoking a cigarette, and with
as little concern as if be were one of the
spectators, knock a two-bagger to left-
field.
Tue Seniors are conceded to have the
most efficient basemen of all the teams
With Jones on first, Smart Sibley on se
cond, and Pretty Sibley on third, they are
a terror to the unfortunate who alteaipt*
to steal a base or to slide in.
Third baseman, Sibley made the pret
tiest play which has yet been seeu, when
with one motion almost, be caught a
grounder, which should have gone to
shortstop and put it to first.
But give the Sophomores a trial, they
are on their metal op to date, they have
not been heard from but ono, and then
they did good work. Capt. Halsty says
they know no fear, and be is pitcher, be
must be hi a position to know.
Although as the saying goes, the Sen
iors ain’t in it, the Freshmen are jubilant.

SOME OF THE SONGS THEY SING.
Music goes a loug ways toward making
college life happy and bright. It might be
said, too, that music goes a long ways to-
wmd keeping college boya out of mischief.
College songs are jolly, and the boys sing
them so cleverly that it is really an inspira
tion to listen to them.
Who could passthrough the dense shades
of the College Campos, tor instance, and
hear the soul stirring notes of "Solomon
If vi,” without catching step to the Inspir-
’pp march? Especially, when a hundred
Alices dome in on the cbprus:
Ch! Solomon Levi!
Levi, Tra-U-U-lah!”, etc.
And woo could pass on without stop
ping to hear that sweet little dance eong:
Swinging int'e grape vti
Laughing when the wild
birda
Swinging in the grape vine awing.
Surely, it is hie to live in the hearing of
illege musician.). No longer ago than last
glit, the maias of Athena were awakened

I churns. The sweetest kind of a ten-
I the quartette. He was a little Irish
dL
t could tell that voice was Irish, so
, so clear, so plaintive and so sweet.
make music, too. They still meet and
practice regularly, and by Commencement
will be ablo to give a concert worthy of
profemionala. Mr. Harry Smith ia a pro
fessional banjoiat, and baa trained the boys
well. O’Hagan is a perfect minstrel, and
many a time baa amused the boys with his
old minstrel jokea told in his inimitable
style.
Of all instruments the light stringed in
struments have the sweetest sound and are
the moat soul-inspiring. Nothing is more
enjoyable than a Banjo Club serenade, and
on the occasion of each they have been
tvally treated.
The campus is not lacking in its qnota
of instrumental musicians. Since the “Soi
ree Club,’’ or the students v ho are learn
ing to dance, have placed their piano in
the old Taboo parlor, many a pianist has
developed. Yt ith Peacock on the violin,
Felder on the * niter. Smith on the harmon
ica, and half a dozen jews barpe, they
have an orchestra, well capable of nuking
niuht hideous. But that is wbat the boys
enjoy. Ton should bear it. yon would en
joy it too.
If ever you should have an oprortunity,
spend a Kit of one of these spring even
ings on the campus. If you love to study
human natorebereis the place; if yon de
light in a good frolic, nowhere can you finu
a jollier crowd; If you enjoy good mnsic,
there is an abundance of it here.
“SUDS KELLY, SLIDE!”
II the crowd who witnessed the famous
inspiring cry of, ‘‘we’re two outs, old boy
come in on anything,” often scores the
Freshmen a run.
Well, twilight is near at hand, the ball
can scarce be seen, so the game is called.
