Che Alvernia Orchestra OR the past few years the Alvernia Orchestra has made steady progress in membership and instruction and has shown marked improvement in the quality of players. The past year has proved no exception to the rule. While it must certainly expand in number and instrumentation before it very nearly approaches a symphonic group, it is the hope of Alvernia that she will one day have a symphony orchestra. It may, perhaps, take many years before the dream may possibly be realized. The success of fully half the entertainments during the school year was due to the efforts of the Orchestra. Class programs and musical assemblies were made more enjoyable by its presence. Naturally, all of the rising musicians entertain a real love for music and take great pleasure in ensemble playing. Sister M. Lybe, who is responsible for the activities and the success of the orchestra, is the ever-patient teacher and director. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the noon hour, one may hear the orchestra rehearsing diligently in the auditorium. One moment there comes a soft, sweet melody followed by a jolly rollicking one from an opera, while later on a selection from a majestic symphony echoes through the hall. T0 THE PARK FOR SNAPSHOTS.

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
