THE MICHIGAN DAILY THUSRDAY, MAr 18, 1939 I I Glee Club Boys Will Serenade Dorm Girls When Night Falls Dean, Edison Official, Talk . 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. Here May 25 painful period of spring training.
