glee club The eternal language of music, which provided relaxation and entertainment for Mercy girls a century ago, is recalled in the glorious strains of Forever, Merry Higb. The Glee Club artistically displays this spirit in a repertoire that includes the lilting tones of Where 're You Walk, the intricate harmony of This Little Babe, or the spiritually uplifting chords' of Now We Sing Thy Praise. Each Tuesday and Thursday, at the brisk hour of eight a.m., seventy choristers put in a vigorous forty-minute practice under Sister M. Inez' direction. Results of their painstaking efforts are enjoyed in the year's successful performances: Christmas and Spring concerts, the Afternoon of Music, and occasional guest appearances.
