By
KEN HOLLINGSWORTH
Fifty-five members of
the Elon College Singers,
the student choir group,
will leave the campus next
Friday morning, Decem
ber 15th, for a Christ
mas tour through Geor
gia and Florida.
The Choir, which has
just scored another tri

campus presentation of
Handel’s ‘The Messiah,”
will present that same
great Yule season ora
torio on the Georgia-
Florida tour under the
direction of Prof. Wen
dell Bartholf, with Dean
Fletcher C. Moore ser
ving as accompanist on
tour as he has on cam
pus.
Also travelling with the
Elon Choir on its trip
into the Deep South will
be Dr. J. E. Danieley,
Elon College president,
and Tyrone Rowell, the
associate alumni secre
tary for the college.
President Danieley and
the alumni officials will
take advantage of the Deep
South trip to meet alum
ni of Elon College in the
ears where the Elon Choir
performs, and invitations
have already been sent to
ali'm.ii in the Atlanta a-
rea and in northern Flor
ida to attend pre-concert
coffee hours.
According to Rowell,
these social hours will
give the Elon alumni in
those areas a chance to
catch up on what the
college has been doing,
the hope being that such
knowledge may spark the
organization of local
alumni chapters in those
areas, although such is
not the sole reason for
