M, FLATT Twenty four harmony bugs boarded the Barbershop Express at 7.30 p.m. March 31 to take part in what will be known as the Kitchener Caper. Actually, they were merely attending a joint meeting with the K -W chapter of S.P.E. B. S. Q. S. A. held in Kitchener. As soon as the bus was full and under way, the singing started. When Pres. Geo. Cousins got on at the "corners" he was deafened by a splendid rendition of "The Flowers in May" and we don't recall that the music stopped until we hit .the pavement in Kitchener. After finding the meeting hall, the boys sat in their re- spective sections and tried their luck at"Rose of Tralee" under the very able direction of Wayne Brubacher. What a sound that was. Over 50 voices blending in four part harmony and relishing every note. It was a real treat to be a part of this massed chorus and you would have to be tone deaf not to enjoy it. At break time everyone was rushing around organizing a quartette in order to take part in the contest. Six such foursomes were formed and half of these were from Wingham. When the overtones had disappeared the judges made a laborious effort to de- cide a champion and came up with a draw. Naturally the two quartettes that were tied were from Wingham. As a cli- max to the contest the champs went on as an octette directed by Ray Walker. The K -W cho-, rus then sang two numbers which were received by a standing ovation, and we are sure the Harmony Men were all impressed by the tonal colour and beautiful expression. The directors and every man in that chorus are to be congrat- ulated, and we will be looking forward to hearing than again soon when they will very likely be District Champions. A tasty lunch was served at the end of the meeting and the Wingham boys were really fortifying themselves for the bus ride home. The singing was started before we cleared the parking lot, and at the out- skirts of Bluevale it finally died down to a few minor outbreaks. We apologize to the driver for the continual roar he had to put up with. Rumour has it that he enjoyed himself and HE was enquiring when we held our meetings. New recruit? Sing you next week. ... ,..,,/r, fir; er Canada Ltd. deaIer1 Year's greatest valuesJ the year's most on beautiful car! odge \'1 \\t 'Plymouth ,� CO Get a Tiger How's the time� how s It's value all the way—with Popularity Pay Off in full sw ing right now at your Chrysler Canada Ltd. dealer's!
