It is one of the reasons the Society is still here! So here is the rest of the Code as it appears on the back of your membership card: 6. We shall refrain from forcing our songs upon unsympathetic ears. 7. We shall not use our membership in the Society for personal gain. 8. We shall not permit the introduction of political, religious or other similar controversial issues into the affairs of the Society. 9. We shall by our stimulus to good music and vocal harmony, endeavor to spread the spirit of harmony throughout the world. 10. We shall render all possible altruistic service through the medium of barbershop harmony. No, there won’t be a test, we should simply be proud that we have such a CODE OF ETHICS. Now, on to other, more interesting, history stuff: Here’s an article from the December 1942 Barber Shop ReRe-Chordings about a meeting of the Santa Monica Chapter: “We had a good meeting last Monday night. We had some wonderful entertainment, with a lot of visitors, and the meeting certainly was the start of a good season for us and the means of interesting a number of new members. The Long Beach Chapter sent over two quartets…Lt. quartets…Lt. Frank Otto, Otto, our former Secretary, who is now in the Service, brought over twentytwenty-six colored soldiers to sing Spirituals, and they certainly sang them well. On of the Santa Monica City officials brought to the meeting a group of Mexican singers and their music was also very interesting and tuneful. In addition to that, Ferde Grofe (composer of the Grand Canyon Suite), Suite), who is a member of our Chapter, did some numbers, and we had other stunts that kept the crowd entertained far into the night. We are very proud that Mr. Grofe is a member of our Chapter because the feeling is very general out here, and probably throughout the country, that he is one of this country’s outstanding composers.” Gosh! Wouldn’t you have enjoyed that chapter meeting?! OUR NEW SOP * BARBERSHOP UNIVERSITY * NEXT TUESDAY AT 6:00 PM. DAVE WARKENTIN ANXIOUSLY AWAITS TO SHARE HIS BARBERSHOP KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHTS.
