The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October 1911

Glee Club

page 54

Glee Club.

From its birth the Glee club has been one of the most delicate of our Alma Mater's offspring, and it found the past winter especially trying. With the advent, of spring, however, it has taken a turn for the better, and its Voice is now remarkably stronger.

The improved position is referred to in the Secretary's report, which also reveals how desperate was the state of the Club's affairs six weeks ago. "At the beginning of this term prospects could hardly be called "rosy," but with chances of disbandment looming before them the members have once more rallied, and we are happy to relate that practices are again in full swing, with, our goal, a successful annual concert, already in sight.

In view of the indifference of the average College student to anything apart front sordid "swot." it is cheering, and distinctly refreshing, to note the indomitable purpose that animates the members of the Glee Club. Opportunity has not yet been afforded us to pay our annual visit to the Missions to Seamen, or to any charitable institutions in the city. but we are in no way less determined to carry out our intentions in this respect.

As usual, the Club assisted at the Capping Carnival, and its contributions of glees and quartettes were creditably rendered, and met with due appreciation from the audience.

A word of praise is due to the pianiste, Mrs. Reid, and the conductor, Mr. G. W. Reid, without whose efforts and enthusiasm the Club would probably ere this have ceased to exist. It is to be hoped that members will show their appreciation by giving the Club that support in the future which it has too often lacked in the past.
