34 G. P. H. S. GLEE CLUB ACTIVITIES 1947 48 The first year of our Glee Club, under the guidance of our principal, Mr. Kujath, was very successful, both from the standpoint of education, and finance. Mrs. O’Brien was our pianist, and Miss Martin and Miss Robertson were the assistant staff sponsors. The Glee Club was composed of High School and Ex-High School students, the membership reached a “high” of seventy voices. It was gratifying to have so many Ex-Students in the club. The club held its regular Wednesday evening rehearsals in the Dorm Dining Room. A vote of thanks goes to Mr. and Mrs. Day who let us use the room, and dishes when we had refreshments. Our first concert was a Christmas Concert held on December 21st. The Glee Club performed “The Prince of Peace”—a Christmas Cantata. In this there were three solos sung by Joyce Cram, Lorane Swallow, and Margaret O’Brien, a duet by Monica Ayre and Janet Bellamy, two Boys’ Choruses, a Girls’ Chorus, and three Choir numbers. The other part of the programme consisted of a Piano Trio played by Donna, John, and Jerry Moore, and the presentation of the Governor General’s Medal to John; Selected numbers by the L.D.S. Male Quartet; Choral Speaking by the Grade Nine Class under the leadership of Mrs. Melsness; a Reading by John Moore; and a piano solo by Mary Jean Carlisle. A repeat performance of the Cantata was put on in the United Church on December 28th, in aid of the Kinsmen Food for Britain Fund. A sum of $18.54 was realized. The club took part in the High School Concert on May 9th. The numbers sung were: “Roses from the South”—a collection of Strauss Waltzes-Chorus; “Home Sweet Home Around the World”—Chorus; “On the Lagoon”—Chorus; “Florian’s Song”—Girls’ Chorus; “Dusk On the Prairie”—Chorus; “The Lord Is My Light”— Boys’ Chorus; “The Heavens Are Telling”—Ensemble of ten girls, and the conclud¬ ing number was “Go Down Moses”—Chorus. At the conclusion of the Glee Club’s part in the programme, the High School president, Agnes Lawlor presented Mrs. O’Brien with a bouquet of American Beauty Roses in appreciation of her work with us. The club also took part in the Festival. In appreciation of their work with us the members of the Glee Club presented Mr. Kujath with an electric toaster, and Mrs. O’Brien with a tri-light lamp. Our final meeting of the year was held at the barracks on May 19th. There was a good attendance, and after we had sung a few songs, the meeting ended with the serving of refreshments, ably served by some of the girls of the club. This ended a year of a great deal of fun, of work, and of happy companionship for the members of 1947-48 Glee Club.
