The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1907

The Glee Club Concert

The Glee Club Concert.

On the evening of Friday, 29th October last, signs of animation on the top floor of our new building betokened a festivity designed to relieve the pent-up feelings of those who had during the preceding fortnight gone through the ordeal of "terms" examinations. The occasion was the first annual concert of the recently rejuvenated Glee Club. The audience did not fill the hall to overflowing, but those who were fortunate enough to be present enjoyed the best concert programme ever presented by Victoria College students. From the moment the dainty sopranos filed on to the stage till the last heavy bass trundled off it, there was nothing to jar the musical susceptibilities of the most fastidious, the only sign of flatness occurring when one of our now famous chairs had so little regard for grace and diguity as to deposit Conductor F. P. Wilson on the floor. This little incident was not the least appreciated item, though we have Mr. Wilson's assurance that it was quite unrehearsed, A glee opened the programme, followed by solos from Misses Martin and Isaacs, more glees, then a humorous quartette by Misses Strack and Lyons, A. H. Bogle and G. W. Reid. In the second part, besides several glees, the audience enjoyed solos by page 64 Misses Strsack and Lyons and F. P. Wilson. On conclusion of the performance the floor was cleared with all the due celerity for the dance which rightly is the only recognized ending to an evening amusement in these sporting days.
