Qiee. Club Qlee Gluh The year 1946-47 has been an out¬ standing one for our Glee Club. Under Mr. Rumbelow’s able direction they have taken part in many programmes, each of which has added something to the glory of a good name. The Glee Club started the season by rendering selections for the Teachers’ Convention. Following this was their splendid contribution to the Commence¬ ment Exercises. ’Midst a host of obliga¬ tions our lively musical director and his enthusiastic group found time to put on a musical evening for students and their parents. The Gyro Club honored the Club twice by asking them to sing, first, at a banquet in the Saskatchewan Hotel and, second, by inviting them to perform in their variety concert, “Stairs for Stars.” Once again our singing students gave a good account of themselves, this time at the Carol Festival held at Metropolitan Church in December. The Christmas Literary meeting would not have been so in keeping with the festive season were it not for selections rendered by the Glee Club and particularly the Hallelujah Chorus sung with time-honored spirit and enthusiasm. The Operetta, another enterprise, has taken time and effort but the students feel rewarded for the work involved by the producing of a fine show. When the Easter Literary meeting and the Musical Festival are over the Glee Club will close their music books for another term. Thoy have set a fine tradition this season— one well worth striving to maintain in future years. The Club washes to offer congratulations and thanks to Mr. Rumbe- low and to Miss Tufts, his able pianist. The Orchestra has spent a busy year, too. The school w as very pleased to hear their Yuletide Medley at the Christmas programme. The w ' ork on the music for the operetta has been intensive but it is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment to have mastered those difficult New Y ' ork scores. Balfour Beacon ’Jrf Page 1,7
