Endless rehearsals, tbc singing of passages again and again, the constant striving for artistic interpretation and perlection, con- centration and fatigue-all are surrounded and hidden by the exultation that is experi- enced in producing an unforgettable concert not only forthe Glee Club members, but for their audiences as well. The Bach B Minor Mass and Britten's Ceremony of Carols 1,,.-i.Y.-.,.1-g..s:.........-.i.-..,........ . - V ., Y . . E . GLEE CL B were tangible proof of the hours spent in pro- ducing art with amateur voices. The beauty of the music and the satisfaction in singing have made the Glce Club, endowed with the musical experience and knowledge of Gwynn Bement, an outstanding part of our college education. 'lime spent in singing is never regretted.
