Jim 1935 ' GLEE CLUB REVIEW IT is hard To measure The success OT The Glee Club This year, because our accepTed yardsTick oT meriT, The lnTerpreparaTory Glee Club ConTesT, is absenT Trom The lisT oT The Club's concerTs. WiThouT This deTiniTe goal in mind, The early work oT The Club was perhaps less Tever- ish and inTense Than usual, and consequenTly developmenT was reTarded. However, There was good maTerial To be worked inTo shape: Tor The TirsT Try-ouTs Tound some TiTTy Tellows, including a liberal sprinkling oT old members. Mr. Blake reTurned To his old posT oT Glee Club direcTor aTTer an absence oT several years, and aT once Threw himselT, body and soul, inTo The diTTiculT Task aT hand. The accenT. he said is To be on The glee. IT was in The assembly iusT beTore ChrisTmas vacaTion, ThaT The Club TirsT walked up on To The plaTTorm To show The School The resulTs oT Two monThs' work. ln coniuncTion wiTh The OrchesTra a musical program was presenTed which included several numbers sung wiTh gesTures by The Three quarTeTs. These were greeTed by gales oT laughTer. buT causTic observers expressed Their doubT ThaT The amusemenT was enTirely sym- paTheTic. On The whole. however, The Club sang well, considering iTs comparaTive inexperience. The Friday beTore Spring vacaTion once more Tound The Glee Club and OrchesTra eager To perTorm and again The sTudenT body played The role oT audience. The number oT quarTeTs had been cuT To Two, and The Club had prepared quiTe an exTensive reperToire. Technically, The enTire organizaTion was excellenT in This concerT and The TruiTs oT nearly Tive monThs' labor clearly showed. The piTch was True, The volume suTTi- cienT, and only The Tone qualiTy could possibly have been criTicized. The quarTeTs showed marked improvemenT and TorTunaTely, There were no gesTures. Spurred on by The valuable experience gained in This reciTal, The Club sTeadily improved and each oT iTs Tollowing appearances showed a sTep upward in iTs progress. The Club appeared aT The Girls' School in May, and in addiTion sang beTore several oTher audiences composed oT members oT various churches and clubs. Perhaps The season seemed somewhaT empTy because of The omission oT The conTesT, buT cerTainly iT one is To judge by The real enioymenT and The experience ThaT The Club members have gained, iT was a disTincT success. 51101.
