Once again, on March 27, thirty-six kmen will pile on to a chartered bus at 'the Circle and make for New York City, some 17 hours away. It will be the begin­ ning of the annual Easter tour. This one begins with four days off in New York City. The singers should be well rested for the 2000 mile grind ahead of them. After two concerts just outside New York (Patchogue, Long Island, and Perth Amboy, N.J.), they will bus it up to Massachusetts for concerts in Pitts- field, Uxbridge, and Holyoke, Mass. There will also be a day off in Boston. t' After the Holyoke concert, the Club will move down to New Rochelle, N. Y., where they "will be entertained by the College of New Rochelle day-hops before giving an evening concert. Wilmington, Del., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Youngstown, Ohio will be the remaining concert stops on the way back to the campus. In all, the Glee Club will be out 15 days and will give 9 concerts.

For Notre Dame's student presi­ dent and business manager it involves writing scores of letters to alumni clubs, K. of C. councils and the like throughout the country. When organizations in seven or eight cities have been contracted for concerts.^ the business manager begins a new task: that of arranging transportation and lodging for the 36 singers, the director, and a chaplain who ynll eventually make the tour. Working with no pre-allotted financial aid from the University, it is the job of the business manager to make ends meet Avith receipts from the concerts he is able to book.

What's more evei-y once in a while things are said and printed that make the men of the Glee Club pretty proud of their work. For instance, excei-pts from an open letter wi-itten by Rev. Ray­ mond O'Connor S.J. that appeared in a souvenir program of the 1954 Spring­ field, Illinois concert went like this:

"Dear Friends: Just in case somebody wonders why we brought the University of Notre Dame Glee Club back to Springfield for the third time, I'll give you the reasons.
