Yale Spizzwinks
Plan Performance
For Friday Chapel
The Yale Spizzwinks, a singing
group, comparable to the Meredith
ensemble will perform in chapel on
Friday, March 28 at 10 a.m. Term
ing themselves a “motley group,”
the Spizzwinks are fourteen under
graduates who tour during their
spring vacation.
The group, started in 1914, have
played a great variety of concerts,
performing often enough to “hone
their musical edge, but not so often
as to cause academic catastrophe.”
The majority of their concerts
have been at various major club
meetings at such college campuses
as Smith, Vasser, and Wellesley.
They have also had a two-week
booking at the Hotel Interconti
nental in Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The next issue of THE TWIG
will be distributed on a Tuesday
instead of tlie usual Tliursduy,
therefore, the deadline for any let
ters, suggestions or other contri*
biitions is March 28.
