Alumni and friends of the College who attended the Glee Club concert at the Mary Seaton Room of Kleinhans Music Hall were rewarded by a most enjoyable evening. Critics present at the performance spoke highly of Paul R. Zeller and his talented group. A large delegation from East Aurora again demonstrated the local popularity of Zeller and in addition was a tribute to Bill Sweet '52, a member of this year's Glee Club. The program included familiar Dartmouth songs as well as melodies by Gershwin, Sibelius and others. The audience especially liked the octet's excellent handling of a variety of tunes.

The dance which followed the concert was equally successful so that even the Old Elis present stayed until the last soft note of the orchestra's theme song. Many of the alumni caught the Glee Club spirit and the early morning hours echoed to their songs which made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in harmony. The Hotel Lenox was headquarters for the boys during their stay in Buffalo.

Your secretary and former secretary PaulVenneman '26 were fortunate in having lunch with Charlie Widmayet '30, editor of this famous publication, during his short stay here. Charlie briefed us on the latest Hanover happenings.

Lew Harriman Jr. '38 will be most happy to receive dues from all members of this alumni club who have as yet failed to send a check. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities leaves a great deal to be desired.
