To express his appreciation of the

After enjoying a t^licioua evan-

cordiality reigned supreme, the mu
sic makers outfitted themeelvee as
learly like Beau Brummel himself as
was poatible and, taking the longest
way ’round (not by themselves)—
journeyed to the municipal audito
rium, where the concert was given.
Pretty Girls At Concert.
Playing to a packed hones, which
was generously sprinkled with pret
ty girls bedecked in evening regalia,
Hie club gave what was skid to be
one of the best programs of the en
tire season. The whole-hearted ap-
planaa made it necessary for the
music-makers to respond again and
again, which they did with pleasure.
George Perry, now of Macon, but
ormerly of Camilla, played as he
i never played before, all for the
sake of the folks of the old home
town, and they said they were proud
f'him.
Reception Extraordinaire.
Following the concert, the club was
entertalhed at a reception at the
home of Mrs. Boggs- The girls, of
course, were there and they added
to the gaiety of the evening. (With
out them, glee club trips would be
like Camilla pecan groves without
any nuts!)
All -.oo .soon, the reception, .rhich
the boys pronounced a grand finale,
came to a close and the Mercerians
journeyed to the Land of Nod, to
iive over again in dreams the happy
hours of the afternoon and evening
in Camilla. t
After riding around,' playing ten
nis, baseball and enjoying other
pleasures, most, of the .club members
left shortly before noon for Albany,
where the concert Saturday night
was given under the auspices of the
Eastern Star.
