...held this evening at 22 Plympton street, the former at 6.45 o'clock, and the latter at 8 o'clock. The Mandolin Club will include men playing mandolins, tenor mandolas, guitars, violins, and 'cellos; and the Banjo Club men playing banjos, banjeaurines, and guitars. No extended experience or remarkable talent is necessary. After the trials for the Glee Club on Monday, the 1917 Freshman Musical Clubs will be organized, and a schedule of about four concerts near Boston arranged.
