Male voices will resound in West
Quad when the Allen-Rumsey
House Glee Club presents a con-
cert of semi-classical and classi-
cal music at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow

The program will begin with
Perry Daniels rendering Bach's
"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and
"The Trumpet Shall Sound "from
the Messiah by Handel.
Following these two selections,
the Glee Club will then take the
spotlight singing such semi-clas-
sical favorites as "You'll Never
Walk Alone," "Tea for Two,"
"Comin' Through the Rye," "In
the Still of the Night" and "All
the Things You Are."
To conclude the program Per-
ry Daniels assisted by the Glee
Club will present excerpts from
"H.M.S. Pinafore" and "Porgy and
Bess."
Organized last semester, the
Glee Club is one of the most ac-
tive male choruses in the Quads.

house functions and provided en-
tertainment for West Quad's Hol-
ly Hop.
They perform on the Allen-
Rumsey Hour coming from the
West Quad radio station and
they have made recordings for
their lounge.
Alfred Neuman, director of the'
chorus, says that there are few
houses that can equal their enthu-
siasm. The men practice every
night after supper, in order that
rehearsals do not conflict with oth-
er activities.
