Tech Musical Hubs tail For New Members With four musical clubs to choose from, those men at Armour who have the happy combination of a little musical ability plus one hour’s time every week should have no trouble at all in finding; an organi- zation to hook up with. The regular time of rehearsal for the Musical Clubs is from 5 to 6 P. M., the Band on Monday, Orchestra Tuesday, Stresses and Strains Wednesday, and the Glee Club on Thursday. First meetings were held this week. Fifteen recruits from the Freshman class appeared for Band practice Monday. Still more instru- ments can be accommodated, and George A. Rezac, the student di- rector, is still soliciting members. Renae will graduate next February, and hence a new director will have to be broken in by that time. Rczac is also temporarily leading the orchestra, which has been left without a regular director due to the graduation of George V. Miniberger last June. Many other vacancies also exist. The Stresses and Strains, a group of merry musicians who specialize in ragtime, have Edward M. Craig, ’31, for their leader. The Glee Club, which meets for the first time tonight, is under the tnterage of Dr. Daniel Protheroe, one of the leading personalities in Chicago‘s musical circles, and a prominent composer. This group has lost several of their best songsters through graduation last June, and desires several new members. The shortage of vocal talent is especially noticeable among the tenors. the Orchestra, entertain the student body rcg‘ularlry at the school mass~ meetings and assemblies. In addi— tion, the season is climaxed during Junior Week in May, when all the Musical Clubs combine to give the Annual Spring Concert. 11. 1. '1‘. llch ’1‘... set U. of 1C.
