Ed Morley has a problem. He has five days to pass Amherst s
comprehensive exam in Fine Arts or he won t graduate. Ed spent the
past four years majoring in frat parties and rugby scrums, and
after failing the comprehensive once, the odds are against him.
However, taking on an obscure office known as the Class Choregus
may propel him to a successful graduation. All he needs to do is
lead the senior class in song during Commencement week simple
enough if he could read a note of music or carry a tune As Ed
navigates his personal comedy of errors, the specter of the Vietnam
War looms over campus and a feeble anti-war protest is catalyzed
into a fullscale rebellion. This is a tale of Eastern Seaboard
colleges in the Sixties: fraternities, drinking, football, and
scoring with Beta honeys a world which is interrupted by the
seriousness of the war in Vietnam. Even an apathetic jock like
Morley is forced to consider his dilemma ina larger societal
context. If the boys of A Separate Peace and A Catcher in the Rye
continued to college, this is the world they would have entered.
The Class Choregus belongs among the fine comic college novels
which reveal to us the flip side of our fantasies and dreams."
