Glee Club On Tour
March 1949 Jay K. Buck '50

TOWARD the end of March, when the College closes clown for its annual spring recess, the Dartmouth Glee Club will start out on another of its popular tours among alumni centers. For the fifty undergraduates making the trip with Director Paul R. Zeller the tour will again be the highlight of the year's activities.

In the past the Glee Club has taken to the road with forty men or less. This spring the Club is traveling with an enlarged group of fifty singers, and although alumni audiences and others have always been happy over the concerts provided by the smaller group, this year's fifty-man performance is expected to surpass anything that the traveling Club has done before.

The Glee Club will leave Hanover on Saturday, March 26, and head directly for Wellesley, Mass.. where it will give its first concert that night. Sunday will be spent in traveling to New York where the second concert will be given Monday night, March 28. The Dartmouth singers then move on to Philadelphia, March 29, and Washington, D. C., March 30.

From Washington the tour progresses to the Middle West and back. This part of the schedule is: Pittsburgh, March 31; Dayton, April 1; Cincinnati, April 2; St. Louis, April 4; Chicago, April 5; Cleveland, April 6; and Buffalo, April 7. College will have been in session four days by that time, and from Buffalo the Glee Club will hasten back to Hanover and studies.

Strenuous though the spring trip is, the Glee Club members look forward to it from the start of the year. It's their high point, and alumni can make it theirs too by hearing them sing.
