Concordia College Glee Club The Glee Club, too, has a history. In the Concordia Chronicle, from 1909 on, we find mention of an Amphion Glee Club in connection with the college orchestra. Later we read of an Orpheus, an Apollo, and a Euphonia Glee Club, successively. Accord- ing to the Chronicle they gave uastonish- ingly good concerts and helped appreciably to make the public appearances of the or- chestra successful. In the year 1909, on the 22nd of Feb., which was the annual date on which Milwaukeeans were privileged to listen to the efforts of Concordials song- birds and musicians, a few songs by the Orpheus Glee Club made the concert a success. If it was so easy as the his- torian seems to infer, they are entitled to our profound admiration, for we have experienced that such results can be ob- Karl Markworth tained only by dint of hard practice. On the other hand, membership in the Glee Club is a source of much cheeru fulness, for we often chase the blues away in a pleasant hour of song. The small Glee Clubs of some twenty years ago have gradually merged into one large organization, called for some time the Euterpe Glee Club. This name is gradually giving way to the wider designation of Concordia College Glee Club since the club has begun to widen its scope of activities to places where the name Euterpe Glee Club would be meaningless. All selections are given a capella throughout, and as often as possible in the original language. In closing we should like to express our appreciation of the untiring etTorts of Mr. Karl Markworth of Trinity Church, to whom, because of his coaching and directing, we owe very much, perhaps most of the credit for any measure of success we may have achieved. l57l
