'll' The clubs entered in the contest were Clark, Brown, Bowdoin, Boston 1 College, Middlebury, Wesleyan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 211 Cross. Clark went to Boston unheralded and not even considered a pos- . ' sibility. But when the men had finished their iirst number and were walking fr, off the stage at Jordan Hall the audience swung over to Clark and remained til, with the club to the finish. Q Each club sang three songs. First: a song chosen by the individual club: it second: a prize song chosen by the committee in charge which each club had fx' to sing, and third: a college song. The prize song was the only one which il! all the contestants had to sing. F ' Clark chose Morning in the Dewey Wood and, according to the official Qi score sheeet came out far ahead of all the other clubs. The prize song was fl Lamp in the West in which Clark was considered a good second, and the fi, third song Sons of Clark, in which the lack of melody was attributed the li, cause of Clarkis failure to win the contest. lf X The result of the contest shows what capable leadership, administrative 'Li backing and determination on the part of the club will do. From the very Y il start of the season the club made strides forward which few dared to dream eq of at the outset. They grew out of one word-cooperation. ,ii The club feels greatly indebted to President Atwood whose personal inter- 'liy est and inHuence spurred the men on to work of greater excellence. The .men pf' will not readily forget his words which gave them a greater determination to if win for Clark. F-ll' The directing of the Club had to be conducted by a member of the Glee lx, Club so George Chase, the manager, was selected to do it. Chase compared Ol, favorably with those of the other colleges and to him a great amount of the fy success can be attributed. 'Qi Dean W. Hanscom, our director, is I V' ' '4 'I the man who should be praised to a EX great extent for the remarkable work Clark has done all season and especially qi at the Boston contest. There are few til, y directors who could take twenty-tive H ' men, most of whom were green, and in hir ' a short space of time develop them into ' a winning combination. Such work iv shows what initiative, stick-to-it-iveness, l , and enthusiasm combined with excep- Q 1 tional ability to lead and develop wt will do. ,Y ' The outlook for next year is bright. Fix With about twenty menias a nucleus all f E of whom participated in Boston, pos- ix, , sibilities of winning the contest next fl year will in all probability materialize. Q' l FT 'N ,KVJK l97l
