DAILY OFFICIAL
BULLETIN

By ROBERT BOGLE
'Tis spring, and the Glee Club boys
are clearing their throats and looking
for their best ties in preparation for
tonight's revival of the ancient annual
ustom of -erenading campus coeds.
For this old Glee Club tradition the
'boys wait until the evening curfew
aas rung, when the girls are home,
nd then sally forth en masse to give
tongue before various dormitories and
ororities.
But there is more in this after
ours business than meets the eye, for
t is the proud boast of Glee Club
men that they, and they alone of all
men on the Michigan campus are
officially allowed within women's
esidences after hours. The girls usu-
ally invite them in for refreshments
after each individual serenade.
This -honor, however, carries some
disadvantages, as some of the Glee
Club men themselves will testify.
Among these difficulties is that of
singing comfortably after the fifth or
sixth house since the girls are apt to
be overly bountiful in their refresh-
nents. Trouble also was encountered
last year when a Mosher-Jordan cus-
todian, uninitiated in this particular-
tradition, ordered the group to stop
disturbing the peace and leave.
Begins At Barbour
The yearly serenade schedule cus-
tomarily starts at Betsy.Barbour
and Helen Newberry dorms, and con-
tinues to about ten other residences.

I To keep matters strictly formal, (and
probably to insure the refreshment
angle,) the girls are sent written in-
vitations to allow the club to sing.
Though frowned on, favoritism in
the selection of houses does creep in
according to one of the members.
The .spring serenade is but one of
many Glee Club activities, their sing-
ing carrying them to many cities in
the vicinity of. Ann Arbor, and once
a year, to some more distant point,
This spring the club toured to New
York City, where they presented con-
certs before Michigan alumni and
other groups. Concerts are also given
in Flint, Saginaw, Detroit, Dearborn
and other nearby towns. Trips are
made on an average of once or twice
a month and are usually financed by
club profits.
Presents Formal Concert
Once a year, a formal concert is
presented on campus. Previously the'
program has been divided into two
parts, one serious and the other de-
voted to stunts and special songs. In
this year's concert, however, Gilbert
and Sullivan's famous musical, "Trial
By Jury" was presented during the
second half.
The Glee Club, with a membership
of 65, boasts of being one of the
oldest of campus organizations. The
group was first organized in 1859.
Present officers are Hugh Roberts,
'39, president; Carl Viehe, '39, busi-
ness manager; and Hatley Spencer,
'39, secretary.

an easy fullness across the

There's an assured, self-

wearer that bespeaks utter
comfort. Only the price is
deceptive. You'd never
guess such summer suit per-
fection could cost so little.
