Madrgral Slhgers and Boys' Glee My goodness, What am I going to do? I forgot my black bow tie. Now if you were a Boys' Glee Club member and were in such a dilemma, what would you do? Would you walk out onto the stage in your black trousers, white mess jacket, and winged collar without a tie? Well, this poor fellow didn't want to either. Don't allow any- one to tell you the younger generation are parasites, sponging off age-old ideas. When the need arises twentieth century youngsters can step up with some pretty good thoughts, proving they really ponder about other things besides their next coke, dance, or midnight show. Deciding to prove the ancient adage, Where there's a will, there's a way, your hero glanced around. Suddenly he spied what he wanted, a black velvet bow adorning the blond locks of a comely miss. Without much ado he had his bow tie. Thank goodness, the audience was too reverently listening to the adventurous tale of a Scandinavian king as told in Land Sighting by Greig or rejoicing with the glee club when man's soul becomes free as in Blow Trumpets, Blow to wonder why he was the only songster with a velvet tie. Turning from the glee club, let's look over the Madrigal singers. Needless to say. this group is a combination of the boys' and girls' octets. If you ever see a station wagon whizzing around town, packed to the roof with sixteen lively, melodious boys and girls, tag it the Madrigals and deliver it to Central High School. At the time you saw them they were probably on their way to sing at some service club meeting, youth meeting, or P.-T. A., for they are in great demand. Their small number enables them to sing in places where there isn't enough room for the choir. They also have their escapades. In fact, one Monday evening your Madrigals almost be- came a hiking club. The Madrigals and the choir had been invited to an exchange concert at Defiance. In a gay mood, despite the rain, they started out. However, fortune provided their car with a flat tire. Undaunted they Hxed this and started out again. But trouble reappeared in the form of a second flat. Courageous souls that they are, they finally reached Defiance, spent an enjoyable evening there, and hopefully turned toward home. Imagine their chagrin when the engine froze up on the return trip. The Fates were a little more generous this time, for the Madrigals didn't have to walk all the way home. Fun is fun, but the Madrigals have their serious moments also. Their melodious harmoniz- ing readily lends itself to a digniiied atmosphere and there isn't one of you who wouldn't sit spellbound during the Christmas assembly as you watched the Madrigal singers, clad in robes and surplices, performing in authentic old English style around a table.
