Music. like other student activities. W3$ hard hit by the war. The
uncertainty brought about by the draft made a Glee Club of definite
members out of the question. and Professor Storer did not judge it worth
while to conduct any tours without the best. With the incentive of the
trips withdrawn, the interest of the singers in the work began to lessen.
and the club was discontinued by common consent.
The same fate overtook the Treble Clef Club. The two organizations
were combined. however. and merged with the Cecelian Choral Society.
This musical organization. under the direction of Professor Storer, and
with the assistance of the University singers. presented Gounod's
"Gallia." They were assisted by Mrs. Mable Dilts, soprano, of Spokane;
by the University Orchestra; and by Homer McDonald. The concert
was an entire success.
In addition to this the Military Band and the University Orchestra have
appeared in several student concerts during the year. Piano, vocal. and
instrumental solos are also rendered at these concerts. They have
been well received.
The feature of the work of the Piano Department this year was a series
of three vesper sen:ices which were given in the University auditorium,
under the supervision of Miss Alice Tuller, head of the department.
The services were well attended both by students and townspeople.
