We owe a vote of thanks, then, to the men of the Orchestra, and we give it here, to all of them, and especially to the members of the class of 1928, who are in it, to Frank Correia, trombonist par excellence for four yearsg to John Dolan and Aloysius Kelleher, violinistsg and to Leo McGann, pianistg and most of all to Messrs. Kennedy and O'Mahoney of the Society of Jesus, for their generous work in directing their efforts. All hail, then, to the Orchestra, men of '28. Page Om' Humlrval lfigflltjr-nrlv
