Miss Nora Crane Hmnt Relates
Story Of Early Musical Career;
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the eighth
in a series of articles on prominent
women in the University.
By ELEANOR BLUM
Approximately twenty-five years
ago, Miss Nora Crane Hunt assumed
charge of the University Girls Glee
Club. "The Glee Club then was just
about a double quartet," Miss Hunt
says. Since then the club has become
under her direction, one of the finest
in the country.
Miss Hunt was born in Jackson,
Mich., and received her early educa-
tion there; coming to Michigan in
her freshman year of college to en-
roll in the School of Music. Miss
Hunt comes by her musical talent na-
turally having come from a very mu-
sical family. She first discovered her
ability, however, in try-outs for a
high school glee club. As she ex-
pressed, "I kept going up, up, and
then down, down, low." It was then
that she decided that she would strive
for a musical career.
At the time that Miss Hunt en-
rolled in the University, her aunt,
Miss Harriett Hunt, was on the fac-
ulty; for this reason she chose Mich-
igan. While in school she helped to
found the Alpha group of the musical
sorority, Sigma Alpha Iota, which
since that time has spread all over
the United States.
Taughit In Jackson
After graduation she busied her-
self with "all activities of a young
singer," teaching vocal lessons in
Jackson, giving recitals, participat-
ing in operas and doing church sing-
ing.
Since that time she has done con-
siderable graduate work in music. In
1927, she toured Europe, and studied
with Dr. Augustus Milner of London.
In the summers of 1930 and 1932
she did vocal work with Dudley Buck
in N. Y. and furthered her study of
choral conducting at Columbia.
Eneouraged By Mrs. Jordan
Her work with the Glee Club was
encouraged by Myra Jordan, then
Dean of Women, who was very much
interested in a good organization for
women singers. "It was something of
a job getting people to listen to usI
in those days," she said. "We werel
only too glad to sing at the Barbour
gym whenever they gave one of their
teas." In those days we weren't sing-
I ing Rachmaninoff and Dickinson
either; that takes training, and a
gradual development of taste. Now
the women who sing it, not only are
able to sing well, but enjoy doing the
difficult pieces.
In 1929, under Miss Hunt's direc-
tionf the Girls Glee Club was chosen
to sing over a national radio hook-
up. It was with regret that the Glee
Club heard that their director was
to resign last year. She still main-
tains her active interest in it, how-

in the films, introduced a new fad to
Hollywood when she appeared in hose
half black and half white.
Union dances will continue thru

period, with music by the Union Band.

OVER THE
WEEK-END
The new soft lighting at the League
seemed to effectively dispel the gloom
of examination time, but for all of
that the crowds were considerably
thinned because of it.
Fashion notes on spring don't scare
the women into wearing lighter
shades; black and the reds are still
favorites for January weather. Miss
Peggy Hadden's dress of American
beauty was simply cut on bias lines,
and ornamented solely with a black
velvet bow at the neck.
Mary Kunkle, '36, wore a Sunday
night dress of heavy black velvet; a
stiff collar gave the dress an Eliza-
bethan effect. An attractive eel gray
dress was worn by Mary Ldu Tray-
wick, '37; a bodice trimmed in little
metallic crosses was an interesting
note.
A green checked bow and sleeve in-
sets of the same checked material
were the finishing touches on a black
crepe dress worn by Mabel Howard,
'37. Marie Heid, '35, was stunning in
a dress of gold metallic trim.
