CBlcc Club f ' ' ER noteJ for its exquisite timbre ■ M and the fineness of its renditions, the Glee Club was again under the direction of Dr. Edward B. Donovan during the past car. Appearing frequently on the campus, ani.1 gi ' ing many out-ol ' -town per- formances, the club s programs were man ' and aried. Its membership was perhaps the larg- est it has ever been. Being both a leader and a composer, Dr. Dono an added to this ears repertoire a new song that had been w ritten, and entitled The Chimes. It was inspired by the Healy tower, symbol of Georgetown; and was respectfully dedicated to Father Daniel E. Power, S.J., moderator of the Glee Club. This song was received fa orably excrywhere, and merited man ' an encore. .Among the other most pop- ular selections were into the Night, Schu- bert ' s Serenade, Ave Verum, an original arrangement of Strauss ' Themes from ' Vienna, Reynard the Fox and the Negro Spiritual Who Built De .Ark .As a fitting climax, Here ' s to the Blue and Gray brought many an enjoyable evening to a close. The local colleges in addition to Georgetown where concerts were gixen included Dunbar- ton, Visitation and hinmaculata. Trips were made for concerts at Notre Dame of Maryland and to the Jesuit house of studies at Woodstock. Maryland. The long- est trip and the most pretentious concert of the year was given in the Grand Ballroom of Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. 142

Vice-President, Bernie Davis, Secretary, and Pete Desmond, Business Manager, for their fidelity, interest and spirit of cooperation. FATHER POWER, S j. Here the sixty Georgetown oices blended with the well trained Glee Club of Xew Ro- chelle College, to offer a concert that could hardly be surpassed. The artistry of the singers was a delight to the ear, and the colorful flowing gowns of the beautiful young ladies against a sombre tuxedo background were equally charming to the eye. The annual Mi Careme or mid-lenten con- cert was presented on two successive Sunday nights in Gaston Hall, with the Georgetown Students and their friends as guests. At both concerts, Gaston was filled to capacity: and the programs were excellently received. One of the highlights of the season was the appear- ance of the club at the National Shrine in Catholic University, where it contributed to the celebration of the Church Unity Octave. The achievements of the Glee Club are to be highly commended: and its director. Dr. Donovan, and its moderator. Father Power, are to be wholeheartedly congratulated for thei r unselfish contribution to its success. .And lest we forget — our abundant thanks to the Of- ficers, Joe Woltering, President, Jim Duffy, DR. DONOV.AN ■Scau-d: WOL lERING, DUFFY Standing: DESMOND, D.A.VIS
