? bes = g € The GLEE CLUB with its golden-throated warblers of song, fills the Assembly Hall with interest and de- light whenever the student body and the faculty is fortunate enough to hear them. At Christmas time, during the Easter season, and on other special occa- sions, the voices of the GLEE CLUB reverberate throughout the school. Directed by the dynamic Mr. Shapiro, this group never fails to bring great joy to its audiences. In addition to ensemble singing, the boys are encouraged to develop solo techniques. Especially pleasing to audiences during the past year were vocal selections which were marked by a wide degree of variety. And the versatility of the “junior chrooners” was equal to the task!

During the academic year four FORUMS are held under the expert guidance of Mr. Edward Golden of the English Department. Some of the more significant topics discussed in the Assembly Hall were “Radio- active Fallout in the Western Hemisphere,” “Federal Aid to Education,” and “The United States and the European Common Market.” These FORUMS provide valuable oratorical experience for the students and, in addition, provide the student body with extensive information on key issues of national importance. Moreover, this training in Public Speaking takes on even deeper meaning in these days when radio and TV plays a larger part in our daily lives than ever before. DRAFTING IS A HIGHLY SKILLED OCCUPATION

The gala event was fun-packed and enormously successful. We were fortunate in having the ever popular Bernie King Orchestra. Refreshments were served throughout the course of the evening and the ballroom was tastefully bedecked in autumnal decor. Credit for the success of the affair goes to the committee and to Mr. Holland who was instrumental in making the evening a delight. Faculty members were especially pleased by the re- laxed informality and graciousness of the boys who, with their lovely dates, were pictures of happiness. MR. VAN HAM DOUBLE CHECKS EVERY DETAIL
