CHORUS BRINGS HONOR TO MINNESOTA It was a dark and stormy night. Brother Fidelis crept down the hall of the Brother's house into o familiar room. His hand groped for the light switch and soon found its mark. There before him, on the dresser, lay a small, important slip of paper. It would change the course of many lives. It was an invitation for the Chorus to sing at the New York World's Fair. Brother hesitated for a moment, blinked, then accepted. Preparation for the migration to Manhattan began. Pazoo-za (money) was desperately needed. Agents were immediately dispatched to parishes, schools, and shopping centers. After a few shady deals, the Chorus was performing almost nightly, for nominal fees. More pazooza came rolling in. The entire Chorus worked feverishly to sell concert tickets to music lovers throughout the twin towns. Still more pazooza was needed. A coll was issued to all Chorus agents and managers. The assignment was to sell advertisements in the Spring Concert Program Ad book. Finally enough pazooza was collected. June 19 arrived quickly and hopefully. The DLS Chorus, Restless and eager, wasted little time in departing from the Milwaukee Road depot. Five hours later they arrived safe and sound in Chicago. There the agents boarded two buses and soon littered the floors and seats with T-shirts, socks, and themselves. After seventeen sleepless hours, they arrived at the Plymouth Hotel, which was to be New York headquarters for them. In New York, each agent's time was his own with the exception of a ferry-boat tour of Manhattan Island on Sunday, and a free lunch at the College of St. Thomas Aquinos on Monday. After lunch, the swimming pool was open to those who could swim. And then came Tuesday. All the agents, about seventy, assembled in the hotel lobby and, soon, two buses were on the scene. Time: 9:00 A.M. Destination: Worlds Fair. The DLS agents synchronized watches and set out to find the high spots of the fair. At 2:00 P.M. the ceremonies at the United Stotes Povilion commenced with the De La Salle Chorus singing, and the Fairmount band playing the Star Spongled Banner. The Chorus sang for about half an hour and they were described as excellent by Governor Karl F. Rolvaag. The governor also commented, I am particularly proud of the talent and skill that you (DLS Chorus) displayed in behalf of the state. 19
