Che Art Club ORKS of art wrought by a masteris hand have great power in them. They con- tribute to man's sentiments and touch upon his higher faculties which lead him to a more noble life. In reorganizing the Art Club, the art classes have resolved to equip themselves with the requisite technical skill that will enable them to express such emotions of beauty as arise within them. Furthermore, they have chosen to come in contact with noble works of art, under the influence of as stimulating a teacher as possible, in order to develop their sense of beauty. Probably the greatest activity of the Art Club this year was the Christmas sale of handicrafts. The auditorium lobby was transformed into a veritable gift shop during the week of December 11. Leather-tooled bookmarks, comb cases, card boxes, purses, book and note-book covers, together with a variety of woven, crocheted, and stenciled articles, were on sale. Besides participating in the Western Art Association Exhibit and competing in the National Scholastic Awards Contest, the Art Club assisted the Kilmer Literary guild with the publication of its pamphlet, Let's Go Places. MARCH CAME IN LIKE A LAMB, BUT, AFTER A FEW DAYS, IN STALKED THE LION.

Che Glee Club O THE outer world music is, and always has been, an effective medium of expres- sion of the thoughts, the emotions, and the souls of men. In a similar manner, the musical activities of the school impress upon the listeners the true spirit of Alvernia. They are an important contact with the world about us. Progress in numbers and accomplishments has been achieved this year by the Alvernia Glee Club. The organization has grown considerably in size over previous groups and, under the efhcient direction of Sister M. Cecelia, vocal instructor in the department, has evidenced to the public its unlimited possibilities in the production of worthwhile musical entertainment. The great event of the year for the club was the impressionistic Christmas tableau, staged before the holiday recess on December 21. Slowly, two by two, the Glee Club, white-robed and stately, moved down the aisles of the auditorium, the radiant glimmer of Christmas tapers borne by the members affording the only light. As the strains of joy to the W'orld died away, the stage curtain parted revealing Bethlehem, a picturesque spectacle. PLUCKY SENIORS DONNED HATS, COATS, MITTENS, AND BOOTS AND TRUDGED KNEE-DEEP
