At Kenosha a new 'bus and automobile were chartered for the remainder of ' the tour, and we left i11 the 'bus for Racine Monday morning, April 19th. After a short stay at Racine the journey to Neenah was begun. We arrived at Neenah in the afternoon, rendered our concert in the evening, and left the following morning for Denmai'k, Wisconsin. At Denmark we gave an afternoon concert, and then travelled to Waupaca to give an evening concert. Following our departure from Waupaca we encountered obstacles to our progress in the form of sink holes in the roads. We were, however, able to reach Withee and render our concert there, but were obliged to cancel the concert at Cushing, and it was with extreme difficulty that we reached Luck in time to render our concert. When we left Luck the next morning, we stopped for a short time in Cushing. and thereupon travelled onward into Minnesota. At Minneapolis a de- lectable luncheon was served to the choir by the young people of the Danish Church. To our great regret it had proved impossible to arrange for an afternoon concert in that city, but we endeavored to atone for this by rendering a few num- bers in-the church after luncheon had been concluded. Much refreshed and rested after the kind reception accorded us, we once more pursued our journey, the next city on our itinerary being Hutchinson, Minnesota. Our concluding concert in Minnesota was given at Hutchinson, and the next destination was Ringsted, Iowa. Due to inclement weather and a deep sink hole, we arrived at Ringsted approximately an hour late, but gave our program without further delay. As the concert at Ringsted was given in the afternoon, it was possible to stay there only a short time, and we left for Spencer almost im- mediately after the concert. In proportion to its size Spencer, Iowa, gave us an exceptionally large financial remuneration for services rendered, and together with Coulter, Chicago, and Racine, occupies a prominent place on the Dana College A Capella Choir Roll of I-Ionor. At Sioux City, Iowa, the concluding concert for the Spring Tour of 1926 was given. A large audience was present. and the pastor of the church, Rev. Mengers, who is one of the professors at Dana, was indefatigable in his efforts to make our concert a success. On Monday morning, the 26th of April, the choir left Sioux City, Iowa for Blair, Nebrsaka, and everybody was happy because they were going home. Upon reaching Dana we received an enthusiastic welcome from the members of the student body, who had kept the home fires burning , while we were away singing the Gospel message into the hearts of our people. The itinerary for the Spring Tour of 1926 included the following cities: Elk Horn, Iowa. Audubon, Iowa. Humboldt, Iowa. Coulter, Iowa. Cedar Falls, Iowa. West Branch, Iowa. Chicago, Illinois. Racine, Wisconsin. Hartland, Wisconsin. Kenosha, Wisconsin. Neenali, Wisconsin. Denmark, Wisconsin. Waupaca, Wisconsin. Withee, Wisconsin. Luck, Wisconsin. Hutchinson, Minnesota. Ringsted, Iowa.

Nielsen, is of recent origin, having bee11 in existence only tive years. It, nevertheless, plays an important part among the musical organizations of the school. The purpose of the club is to give training in choral work. Its personnel consists this year of fourteen young ladies, all of them members of the choir. Dana has need of such an organization, and we hope that in the future the Glee Club will prosper and become of incalculable value to the school as well as to its menibers. DANA COLLEGE ORCHESTRA The Orchestra holds fi significant place among the organizations at Dana. This year it boasts of 17 pieces, of which two cellos, a. cornet and a harp are very im- portant additions since last year. The cello excells any other instrument because of its beautiful bass quality in solo melodies. The cornet adds much with its bright tones. The harp produces most brilliant and clear tones when used in the middle register. Prof. Nielsen, director, requires that the Orchestra devote its time to e11- semble playing. Only the best music is used, and the Orchestra plays only on special occasions. In so doing, it holds the interest of everyone and upholds the standard for better niusic. Its purpose is to give training in orcliestral playing, and to furth- er the appreciation for good Orcliestra Music. -1-. --.-. - .--- . -------- ---- - --------- dv 1
