Glee Club Carolers, December 1963

Sixty years ago, members of the Manhattan College Glee Club spread Christmas cheer with the help of Coeds from Marymount, despite heavy hearts.  Just a month earlier, their leader, Mr. Robert Gary passed away unexpectedly after seventeen years serving as the Director of Music at the College.  Coupled with their personal tragedy, the entire country had also just experienced the shock and grief over the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  The carolers provided much-needed merriment and helped people get into the holiday spirit.
