St. Louis

Paul Zeller's musical group, also known as the Dartmouth Glee Club, invaded this Bicentennial neighborhood on March 25. Chief Bob Woodruff '37 and his righthand tomahawk-man Frank Curtis '36 and a select war council, specially trained to gather an audience and raise money, were on hand to meet the visitors. The parties negotiated on a friendly basis, and the result was a masterful concert, followed by what Wood-ruff described as "hilarity," boosted by a four-piece combo. Norm Probstein '43 graciously made available the handsome premises of the new Bel Air East, and this proved to be an ideal setting for the entire occasion.

The Glee Club performed with its usual excellence. Especially well done was the Russian music. It is remarkable how enjoyable such music can be. Or maybe it is because the cold war is easing up that it sounds so good. The Injunaires made their inevitable appearance, and even managed to sell some records. The concert was taped by radio station KMOX for re-broadcast at a later date.

The glee clubbers apparently enjoyed themselves, aside from their performance. They were houseguests of individual alumni. Ed Grace '38 believes that the undergraduates continue to have a strange sense of perspective: one of them mentioned to him that people ten years out of college are "old." Ed violently disagrees. He has just celebrated his twenty-fifth reunion, and he feels like a mere youth! Many of the students visited the famous Gaslight Square after the festivities at the Bel Air East.

There were about 500 people in attendance. Although the final results are not in as yet, we probably made a few dollars for the Clark Schmidt Scholarship Fund. All in all, it was a great occasion, and already we are looking forward to the next one.
