The College Choir's year of regular rehearsing and faithful attendance at Sunday chapel services was spiced with a number of successful concerts and radio broadcasts and topped off with a glorious and exciting trip to Newark and the World's Fair. The choir of forty-one voices under the direction of Professor de Long gave programs in the series of college radio broadcasts at the Thanksgiving and Christ, mas seasons and in the spring. The group gave its regular concerts on the campus at Christmas and on Baccalaureate Sunday, and on April 23 sang at the Maryland Casualty Auditorium in Baltimore. Singing secular numbers for the first time for its spring concerts, the Choir added such songs as Brahms' 'Trysting Place" and Tschaikowsky's "The Sparrow" to "Eli, Eli" and its other religious numbers. In May came the most challenging undertaking in the history of the Choir. The group gave a concert at the First M.P. Church in Newark, and then visited and sang at the World's Fair in New York.
