Joe...Song Fest it is, edited by Dick/Beth Best. Across the bottom is "Intercollegiate Outing Club Association." The preface says it's a collection of songs sung by the above IOCA. The editors list some songs they couldn't include because of copyright difficulties, including the Ann Bolyn Song, Whiffenpoof Song, Casey Jones, and other well-known chestnuts. Mine is the 4th Edition, published in '57, and is in pieces...I have to keep it in an envelope.
Oh, I have two editions of Song Fest - 1948 and 1955, I think....I just can't find them on the shelf at the moment. I'm sure they are within twenty feet of where I'm sitting. -Joe-
