 E= Sg THE COLLEGE GLEE CLUB. Through the years the St. Mary's Glee Club has maintained an excellent standard and this year has been no exception. The first week in October, 1922, Mr. Walsh, S. J., as Moderator, and Prof. Den Hacrynck, Mus. D.. as Director, sat in judgment, which resulted in the selection of a club of twenty songsters. Two practices were held weekly and valuable voice training was received. Two concerts were given and the many numbers presented, were a fine exhibition of the young men’s musical talent and ability. The Choir, made up of the Glee Club and the Special Choir, consisting of eight members selected from the Glee Club and forming a double quartet, arc worthy of the highest praise because of the impressive music prepared for the numerous ceremonies in the Immaculata. The endeavors of the Chapel Choir and tho solemn and affecting Vocal Ducts by Jack Rose and Thurman Zinn, demonstrated the power of song to promote devotion. The work of the Glee Club was not confined to the concerts given during the year. On many occasions individual members revealed their competency by rendering solos as part of the many entertainments. All in all the Glee Club has had a very successful year, one that had the approval and met with the support of all. The achievements of the Club and the judicious selection of good music, give eminence to the inspiring efforts of the Director, Prof. Den Hacrynck, Mus. D.
