THE ELGAR GLEE CLUB This year the Elgar Club again took its prominent place in the activities of the school under the most capable of directors, Miss Death. The club furnishes further musical education and training for the girls who are interested in music and choral work. It also gives the school a greater interest in music. Early in the year an organization meeting was held in which were elected the following oflicers: President, jean MacKenzie: Vice-President, Mary McKillopg Secretary, Gene- vieve Buck, Treasurer, Mabel Mann, Librarian, Ester Brand- ong Pianist, Phyllis Burrows. At Commencement, at the beginning of the school year, the Elgar Club gave its first perform.ance. In November, a Mother-Goose tea was held in the Col- legiate Auditorium. Most of the girls were dressed in cos- tumes to represent nursery rhymes. For the Athletic concert, which was put on in December the Elgar Club contributed two numbers, a double quartette, The Boy and the Tackf' and a triple trio, Pretty Geisha Girl. At the finals of the Bryant Cratorical Contest, held at the City Hall, during the convention of the Saskatchewan School Inspectors, the club sang, Springtime and My True Love Hath My Heart. They were quite thrilled to hear that it had been broadcast over the prairie network. For the annual concert, a program of good music had been arranged. It opened with several numbers from the masters and the second part of the program consisted of selections from some of the more modern composers. We were assisted by Bill Morton, tenor, Ross MacRae, violinist and Gardiner Stillwell, pianist. The accompanists were Phyllis Burrows, Jack Ellis, and Gardiner Stillwell.
