ANGELINE SANTOS '44, Under the capable guidance and direction of Sister Mary Agnes and Sister Mary Bernadette, our band, during the past year, has become one of the best in the his- tory of the school. Though comparatively small in number, the loyalty of the group has made it equal to a much larger organization. Our orchestra, composed of: Mary Frances Clements, trumpet, Josephine Anania, trumpetg Aurelia Watson, clarinet: Joyce Oliphant, saxaphoneg and Maxine Mc- Gonagle, drums, has given performances at the U. S. O. Club for the entertainment of the Servicemen, played at the Memorial Services for Confederate Soldiers, and has also entertained at numerous school functions. Though the three Senior members of the Band will be sadly missed by the rest of the organization, it can be said with confidence, that the younger members will carry on in a manner prompted by the true Mercy Spirit .

H O M E .?usl1i1f11 Shaw After much ripping, basting, and more ripping, the students of the Home Economics class presented their style show and a skit entitled The Case of Misjudg'ement. As each defendant appeared before the Judge and Jury, in clothes unsuited to her personality, she was tried and advised as to the correct styles she should wear. For her crime against good dress she was then sentenced to a period of time at the desig'ner's work shop. Following' the skit, each girl modeled the dress that she had made and was then awarded a diploma by Sister Mary Alda, the instructor, for having successfully completed her course in sewing. At the close of the entertainment, cookies, baked by the Home Ec. Students, were enjoyed by the audience. Connie Andrews, '4-1.
