RADIO SINGERS Although the broadcast of Concordia's daily devotional services over WTMI was discontinued in the past year, the well-known Triple Quartet of Radio Singers, whose principal business it was to render a hymn at the broadcasts, is still a very active musical organization. Under the direction of Edwin Wiebel, these talented young men have ap- peared at many of Concordia's social functions, such as the Christmas party, and have assisted the Glee Club on its Chicago tour and in its spring secular concert given May 28th. The Radio Singers again sang at all Lenten services held at the college this year, and also numerous times over WTMI for Sunday morning broadcasts. r THE S. O. S. QUARTET Organized in 1937 to compete in a WTMI Barber Shop Quartet Contest, this group has appear- ed subsequently in lVIi1Waukee's parish halls, at various local ban- quets, and in collaboration with the band at basketball games.

After several years of dormancy this club, through the untiring labors of President Frederick Hertwig and former President Paul Grootman, was resuscitated at the beginning of last year. September 24, 1937, marked its re-establishment. Plans were immediately put before Pres. L. C. Rincker, and soon the beautiful new clubroom, located in Wunder basement, across the hall from the stationery, was ready for occupancy. The purpose of the club is clearly defined in its constitution. From that document We quote: The purpose of the Concordia Germania Verein is to foster a knowledge of the German language. The Verein endeavors to do so CD through speaking and reading the language, and C21 through con- structive criticism of the speeches made by its members. The new con- stitution, drawn up in German by F. Hertwig and P. Grootman, has replaced the now obsolete and inadequate constitution of '35-'36 and has provided the Germania Verein with a firm foundation of its operation. The club meets every Wednesday evening at 8:30 P.M. in the Wunder Social Room. Each meeting is begun with a German devotion, and lasts till 9:15. The entire business of the Verein is transacted in the German language. Entertainments include prepared and extemporaneous German speeches by the members, and addresses by professors. Guest speakers of the year were Professors A. Dede, O. Rupprecht, E. Ienne, and A. Hardt. The faculty adviser of the club is Prof. I. E. Pt. Schmidt. Outside recreational features of the past year were the masquerade Halloween party, the rollerskating party, and the club picnic. The officers of the Verein are Frederick Hertwig, Pres., Roland Going, Vice- Pres., H. Krach, Secy. and Treas. and L. Schwartzkopf, Entertainment Chmn. 5331

THE GLEE CLUB Were you to stroll past the Administration Building in the twilight of a spring evening, you would perhaps hear the strains of sweet song issuing from the chapel. Perchance, too, you would stand, and listen, and recognize Der Lenz ist angekommen. Mellow basses and sweet tenors are blended exquisitely in this old German favorite. In the chapel each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening from 6:00 until 7:00 the Glee Club has its rehearsals. Because of the regularity of its practice hours, because of its desire to sing and sing well, and because of Director Karl Markworth's proficiency in teaching and training choral groups, the Glee Club ranks as one of the outstanding choruses in Milwaukee. Membership in the Glee Club is restricted to students of the four upper classes. Tryouts are held at the beginning of each new school year. This year the Glee Club began its season with twenty-seven old members, twenty-four newcomers being added after the fall tryouts. In the election of officers held at the close of last year Edwin Wiebel was elected President of the Chorus, Edmund Happel, Business Manager, Luther Schwartzkopf, Ass't Business Manager, Henry Simon, Treasurer, Theodore Radetzki, Librari- an, and Walter Leininger and Robert Stade, Stage Managers.
