THE ATHENAEUM 117 ANNUAL CONCERT W. B. Scott, ’26. The most classical event of the school year at Morehouse, with the possible exception of the commencement exercises, is about to take place in Sale Hall Chapel. Although this has been an annual affair for more than a decade, it is always looked forward to with great eagerness, and each occurrence of this event is more than a compensation to those who give it their whole-hearted support for their anxious waiting from one year to the other. Perhaps you have already surmised that the classical event referred to is the annual concert of the Glee Club and Orchestra- No doubt this is pleasant news to the music lovers of Atlanta. Not only to the citi* zens of Atlanta do we rejoice to make this announcement but to all throughout the country who are interested in the welfare of the student activities at Morehouse and to those who have real apprecia tion for the best that there is in music. We are pleased to say further that most of the stars of recent years will appear this season, among whom are John Hervey Wheel er, renowned violinist of college circles, whose tone and technique are superb; Oliver E. Jackson, also a noted violinist of the col legiate world, whose playing in the largest cities throughout the South has made for him a host of friends and admirers; Andrew J. Taylor, Morehouse’s greatest- baritone, who will be at his best this his last year at Morehouse. The Orchestra and Glee Club have been rehearsing day and night and are putting forth every effort to make this the greatest concert in the history of the school. No one who attends this concert will leave disappointed, for the arrangement of these annual programs constitutes such a broad variety of numbers as to include something suitable to the taste of all. Therefore let all be present on the evening of Friday, Feb. 6 when the doors swing open at eight o’clock. KI! KI! KI! TEAM! W. A. Richardson, ’25. Like the old gray mare Morehouse “aint what she used to be.” This idea has been a singsong among old Morehouse men during the last few years. But it has received a new stimulus within the last few weeks as a result of our recent defeats in football. The idea expresses an absolute truth and deserves respect for so doing. We agree that Morehouse is not what she used to be* that Morehouse has changed. But the change has been a progressive one in many respects, in others it has been the reverse- There are certain courses responsible for the Morehouse of today as compared with the Morehouse of former years. Today we have younger men labor ing under different conditions and aspiring toward many and varied ideals. But this is shooting at the wrong mark.
