Six dclock practice sessions . . . voices blending in song into the campus twilight . . . Loyola . . . these will always remind us of our Glee Club. The happy spirit that radiates from those who love to sing is one of the main characteristics of our club. And so we present music for all occasions, music for every mood. It was very cold as we caroled in the Chapel court- yard this Christmas. The Nativity tableau 0n the Chapel steps brought Bethlehem much closer. Remembering the fun and success of our past con- certs with Loyola, we eagerly looked forward to them. In the repeated rhythm of the folksong, in the melan- choly mood of the spiritual, and in the hastening tem- po of contemporary music we captured the spirit of America through the years. When our spring concerts had ended, we realized with deep satisfaction that all those practices had not been in vain.
