' GUa+tUa 1 Qlee. GUL Olclieiisia The Glee Club with a membership of 102 has met regularly every Wednesday night under the direction of Mr. Rumbelow with Miss Tufts as accompanist. Besides these meetings, odd periods in Mr. Rumbelow’s timetable are filled in with extra rehearsals and practices. This year the main project was an operetta called “Chonita”, the music for which was based upon the works of Franz Liszt. The club worked hard during the couple of months preceding February 20 on which momentous occasion they presented their show. The principals and chorus were taken entirely from the Glee Club. The Balfour Technical Orchestra was on hand to play the accom¬ paniment for which they deserve great praise. Special thanks for work done on the Operetta go to the Woodworking Depart¬ ment and Mr. McDonald, the Art Depart¬ ment and Miss Messer, the Printing Club and Mr. Imbery, the Drama Club and Miss O’Conor, as well as Mr. Darnell for advertising and Mr. Mclver for ticket sales. At various times throughout the year the Glee Club has given worthwhile performances, taking part in the Carol Festival at Christmas time in Metropolitan Church, and singing the traditional Hallelujah Chorus at the Christmas party at the school, for which occasion a Hammond Organ was brought in from Heintzman’s. On October 30, the club entertained veterans at the D.V.A. Hospital with a musical program. The Gyro Club were provided with entertain¬ ment at their banquet in the Saskatchewan Plotel, when a small group chosen to represent the Glee Club sang for them. When Dorothy Thompson came to Regina, the Glee Club gave a program on radio station CKCK to advertise the meeting at the Armouries, at which they also were called upon to sing several selections. Th° Armouries saw them return a short time later in a combined concert with the Regina Citizens’ Band and Paul Perry’s Orchestra. As is their custom, the Glee Club provided the musical entertainment at the Commence¬ ment Exercises. Planned Spring activities include an Easter program, the Musical Festival, and Graduation Exercises. We look forward to another good year in 1948-49, and if it is as successful as this year, we know it will be worthwhile to everyone concerned. The Glee Club, and indeed the whole school, was greatly honoured in having as our guests Mr. Kenneth Spencer and his accompanist Mr. Melvin Owens. It was indeed a marvelous performance which they gave here at the school, and we are deeply indebted to them. Thanks go to Mr. Bond, who was instrumental in arranging their visit. From the Glee Club and Orchestra, orchids to Miss Tufts and Mr. Rumbelow, two very wonderful people without whom these activities could never have been accomplished. Page 52 Balfour Beacon ' 48
