Glee Club
Glee Club
Then they began to sing
That extremely lovely thing
"Scherzando! ma non troppo, p p p."—Bab Ballads.
The Glee Club opened this year with a large membership, which unfortunately has gradually fallen off. However, the lack of quantity is made up the quality of the singing, and by the well sustained interest and enthusiasm of the regular attenders.
At the end of last year the Glee Club gave two concerts at Trentham, which were very successful judging by the appreciation shown by he soldiers. We also entertained the inmates of the Porirua Mental Hospital with a concert, at the close of which the Hospital staff invited our members to supper, and to dance in the large hall. This year, so far, the Glee Club has had only one function in the form of an opening social evening. Arrangements are at present being made for the annual concert at Treantham, and also for one at Porirua.
Our thanks are due to our conductor, Mr. F. P. Wilson, who has willingly given a great deal of his time to help forward this club, and who has shown enthusiasm throughout the year. Also to our very few male members who have done valiant service in providing the tenor and bass parts of our glees.
