Real Desire to Sing Motivates Small but Dedicated Glee Club They were one of the smallest assemblies in recent years, but the thirty-three members of this year’s Glee Club were the students who really wanted to sing, and around this core they formed an enthused group willing to be fashioned by new director Mr. Leonard Matczynski. The Glee Club director at St. John Cansius High School for fifteen years and also a parish organist for many years, Mr. Matczynski handled the Glee Club in a highly competent manner which the members well respected with their cooperation. Thus the Glee Club's performance hit new peaks. With Nazareth Academy, they sang to a capacity audience in the Christmas Concert and, at Public Square, filled the downtown area with Christmas carols and cheer. As an added festivity, the Glee Club planned a special show in March in which they sang popular, contemporary, and classical songs. Later in spring, they performed at the Home and Flower Show and completed their successful season in the annual St. Ignatius Spring Concert. 86
