GLEE CLLB Perliaps the tones that emanated from the auditorium on Wednesdays were not as beautiful as those that “charmed magic casements — in fairylands forlorn”, or as robust as those of the Don Cossacks: however, there were a few among us who. tired of things in general, welcomed those afternoons when we could relax in the pleasurable atmosphere of “singing just for the fun of it.” And yet it seems that no pleasure goes unpaid for.

It is a stimulating game when you have learned to play and keep in practice, and an art akin to daneing in its grace and finesse.
