The Dartmouth College Glee Club was in town on Wednesday evening, March 28. Paul Zeller and his group received an enthusiastic response from about 500 alumni, prospective freshmen, families and friends at the Lower Merion Junior High School in Ardmore. There was a party afterwards at the Cynwyd Club. If you stayed home that evening, you should kick yourself.

Bob Boyd '54 was general chairman for the event. Bob Clothier '58 and Pete Paxson '59 shared the responsibility for housing the Glee Club while Sherry Baketel '20 looked for patrons and Dave Steinberg '55 handled tickets and publicity.

Profits from the evening go to our Scholarship Loan Fund in Hanover. Helping in this respect were the following patrons: HiAllman '55, Sherry Baketel '20, Dr. HarryBishop '43, Bill Boardman '49, Dr. HerbDietrich '42, Russ Dilks '51, Harry Dunning'30, Dr. Rolfe Harvey '27, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde B.

Spring means Softball, not only on the green in Hanover but also in Philadelphia. Hank Taylor '56 is heading up the Indian contingent in the Philadelphia Interclub League. If you'd like to join the squad, give Hank a call at home (NI 4-1209).

As of the time of writing, just three weeks after the first mailing went out, we have 122 dues-paying members for 1962. If you're not among that select group, how about sending in your check now? Without your dues, we can't afford to send you every mailing with regard to our varied schedule of activities.
