St. Louis

MOST AMBITIOUS UNDERTAKING of the St. Louis Club in recent years was the Glee Club Concert and Dance held at the Hotel Coronado on the night of April 5. Nearly five hundred persons attended and were entertained by a most excellent program rendered by Don Cobleigh's boys and fine dance music by the Barbary Coast Orchestra. Highpoint of the evening for the Dartmouth men in the audience was the singing of songs of the College from the stage, in which the alumni joined.

This affair is a milestone in the annals of the local club not so much because it was a swell party .... which it was.... as

because it culminated the combined effort of a majority of the membership in putting on a function which required considerably more than passive cooperation from everyone concerned. The smokers, weekly luncheons, picnics, etc., which are regulars on the St. Louis Dartmouth calendar require work on the part of only a few of the most active members of the Club. The Concert and Dance demanded the efforts of everyone truly interested in keeping a St. Louis Dartmouth Club alive, because it could not have been a success without the active help of a great many men. Especially to be complimented, of course, is the committee, which carried the lions share of the burden, and Ben Gutman, Club Treasurer, who proved to be a ticket-seller par excellence. But a lot more pitched in and helped, and we view this as a healthy sign. So long as we can continue to have a majority of the local alumni actively interested in putting over functions of this sort, so long will the St. Louis Club remain vitally alive.
