The Glee Club Among the new groups which joined our extra-currecular list this year the one which made its presence felt most strongly was our Glee Club. This group has made a name for itself by the concerts it has given during the year and especially during the rendition of three splendid numbers during the Musical Recital held at St. Leo's Hall on May 17th. This performance left no doubt in anyone's mind that the club would soon be as good as any in town. The class wishes to thank Sister M. Iude tor the pleasure she has given them by training their voices. .lust Us The Seniors call us giddy The Iuniors say we're nuts But we, we know we can't be beat lAnd that's unanimousl Our teachers say we're lazy And we're all so green And when the brains were passed around They wonder where we'd been. For everything we get the blame 'Tho we're never in the wrong tExcept maybe once in a while We forget to hear the gong.l But when we've lost our spirits And our castles 'gin to fall We call to mind these wonderful words That bring joy and comfort to all. The worthiest people are the ones Most injured by scandalous words As tis the best fruit of the crop That's picked on by the birds. -Mary Lee Poston, Sophomore Page Twenty-Seven

Farewell To The Seniors Saying farewell to our ser1ior's Strikes a note of sadness in my heart Our friendships have been so happy And now we must part. Your smiles have always helped me, For l felt that they were sincere, To remember your jokes has cheered me, And your laughs when you were near. Nevertheless, the time has come That we must say adieu, And may God bless you and keep you, ls my parting wish for you. -Doris Williams, Iunior Page Twenty-nine
