Plans for dancing parties, ETC., in
honor of the club are already under
way in several Of the places to be
visited. Washington State people at
Dayton, with the backing of the Com
mercial club, are planning an affair
which they aver will surpass that of
last year. Rumors of big w. S. c.
night in Aberdeen, including a dance
at the Hoquiam-Aberdeen pavilion,
are rampant. Vic Pigg says, of q
good time will make the club remem-
Der town, not a one of its mem bers
will ever forget sedro Woolley."
Esther Koran and Alice Lodge,
both Of the class of IT, now in
charge of the home economics de-
partment at Wenatchee high school,
intend to make the concert there one
OF the outstanding features of the
trip. Spokane and North Central al
ways welcome the club and have al
ready gone down in Glee Club history
as paramount entertainers and will
no doubt keep up the reputation this
year.
Manager Rinehart relates some
rather interesting experiences in
booking the club. Several factors, he
says, have tended to make the task
not an altogether easy one. The
high schools throughout the state are
less inclined than ordinarily to take
on the management of such perform
ances since they are all trying to
make up the time lost on account of
| the flu. Moreover, with but few ex-
ceptions the high school plays are
given during April, while heretofore
the club has made its annual tour
! during January or February. Since
| reduced railroad rates are not to be
had the guarantees necessarily had
! to be almost double and after all, the
financial problem is the all-import-
antoine to consider.
A concert in Seattle had to be
abandoned because the University S
big Spring Opera" is scheduled for
April 81 and Seattle is already plac-
arded from Ole Hanson's office to
President Suzzallo's kitchen door.
At Bellingham the manager had to
back-track and shift three dates in
order to meet the emergency brought
about by the famed Gadowsky's APP
pearance on April % as number on
I the normal school lyceum course.
Again, at Tacoma a date had to be
abandoned, consequently more stage
rides and fearful interviews with con-
scientious DIRECTORS in order to fill in
the open date.
