The country-wide depression notwithstanding, the forty-eight members of the Harvard Instrumental Clubs trod the usual path of roses on its Christmas trip to the Middle West. A succession of Harvard Club luncheons, tea dances, dinners, concerts, and debutante balls kept the Instrumentalists busy and reduced the number of sleeping hours to a minimum.

Highlights of the kaleidoscopic trip were the Detroit and Winnetka concerts, both attended by brilliant social contingents. Over 500 members of Chicago and Winnetka society were on hand for the latter concert last Monday night. It followed a tea dance and a dinner at the Indian Hall Club, but, inasmuch as the Clubs has to make an 11.30 o'clock train out of Chicago, a hurried departure was made after the last number. Before the audience was aware that the concert had terminated, a giant two-decked bus, escorted by a Winnetka police corps, was speeding toward Chicago.

The Gold Coast Orchestra, the Mandolin Club, and the Pyhorrean Sorority Specialty were headliners of the program. At Detroit, first step on the itinerary, while the local Harvard Club was entertaining the club members in one room of the Book-Cadillac Hotel, the Gold Coast and the Pyhorrean quartet were broadcasting from another room over a middlewestern hookup. The Mandolin Club, under the direction of E. H. Woodberry '32, pleased its audiences with a striking rendition of "Dark Eyes."

Detroit feted the Club members with a tea dance and dinner at the Grosse Pointe Country Club and an all-night debutante party at the Detroit Country Club.
