T Certainly the members of the Glee Club and Dramatic Association of the Scholastic year 1906-1907 have every reason to congratulate themselves on the Work that has been accomplished. The Glee Club, practically the only exclu- sive organization of any note among the students, consists mostly of the older land higher class men. It aims at securing the best talent in the line of musical and dramatic matters' As one member ' remarked at' the initial meeting of the year, the Glee Club Was on its 'last legs. This does not mean that there was any fear of its being down and out. The membership has been greatly decreased since many of the older and-abler men did not return. A don't-give- a-care spirit had also manifested itself. A good bracing up Was required. Mr. Leo Andries, a person Well adapted for the position, Was unanimously chosen as president. His own-energy and ability supplied the necessary stim- nlus and confidence. All Worked with a Will, and to this combination of lead- ership and ,co-operation can be ascribed the success of the -entertainments and other doings that added much to the pleasure of a fleeting and agreeable school year. Since the membership, includinglthe newly initiated, amounted to only twenty-fo-ur all told, 'a. meeting was held for the purpose of deciding Whether or not the Glee Club should be open to the student body in general or reserved to the Senior Boarders only, as had been the case heretofore. As a result mem- bership Was opened to all, a move that has been productive of much good. This A O 4

measure chiefly concerned the Day Scholars. At the follovving 1'I16Gt1Hg.S.1Xt6GH Day Scholars were admitted, making the total membership forty, Whlch WHS then fixed as the maximum number. The a.ddition of these capable gGIltlGII19I1 to the ranks has been the source of added strength. All ventures novv have the combined help of Boarder and Day Scholar contingents. A union has been effected, which is of the greatest importance in every school, but especially in our own, where organization must take the place of numbers. Cne of .the Glee Club ventures was the Chronicler, the irst paper issued from Canisius, modest and unpretending, but of Whose originality, neatness and honest effort We can justly feel proud. , We had the pleasure of frequently listening to Mr.. Ctto Ramler, director of the Crlee C-lub Orchestra, and his accomplished musicians, Whose. selections all will agree Were some of the best numbers on the College programmes during the year. 6122 Qlluh Enable Qauartztte A pleasing novelty in this year's Crlee Club was the formation of a double quartette., Including voices of such quality and richness as those of Joseph Lang and Thomas Vesey' as irst tenors, Conra.d Rissberger and George Schneider, second tenors, Charles Costello and George Lannig, first basses, and Bert Boland and Joseph Buschelman, second basses, it might Well have been expected that their Work Would be harmonious. And a repertoire of stand- ard. and catchy songs, perfected by earnest practice, made their appearance an eagerly expected number on every programme. The hearty appla.use With which they were always received attested to the pleasure they conferred. T t Elec miluh Bramatic Qafferings When in after years our thoughts turn backward to the scholastic year of 1906-07, When We recall the good times the year afforded, none will stand out more prominently than those provided by the Cr. C. and D. A. Many and brilliant were the udoingsv and great credit must be given to the president and his able corps of assistants for their foresight and their selection o-f socials and entertainments, Which broke up many a dreary space of study with some- thing Wo-rth While.
