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- "Round the Campus" FASH IONS that start the day at sun-up and end in the wee sma' hours . .

Union dances will continue thru *each week-end of the examination period, with music by the Union Band. 2 Groups desiring private dining rooms for J-Hop breakfasts may obtain them by making reservations at the Union desk. I 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. 30.
