This year has marked a new high for Cathedrals Band. Everyone is proud of the success attained by the boys, but none more so than the Band s director, Mr. Bernard L. Miller. The Mothers Club has fallen for the Professor ' s boys in a big way. On Mothers ' Day, May 11, the Band made its first appearance donned in the classy new uniforms of blue and gold recently purchased by the Mothers ' Club. Cathedral had a band of which the school and the city of Belleville can be justly proud. The Band ranks amongst the best in Illinois. Seven members of the Band, Edward Heman, Theodore Gundlach, Joseph Gund ' lach, Richard Wuller, Robert Miller, Robert Huber, and Calvin Truttmann, are grad ' uating this year and their places will be difficult to fill. But each year the grade school bands of the city furnish us with a goodly number of very capable musicians, so it is hoped the vacancies caused by graduation will be ably filled. Page Twcnty ' onc

The chorus was formed by the Glee Club under the capable direction of Brother Michael Brangan. The success of the program was due largely to the untiring efforts of these two faculty members.

DEBATE • • • The topic for debate selected for this year, “Resolved: that the Power of the Federal Government Should be Increased , covered much territory. So did the debaters. Competing in two leagues and in two tournaments, they made frequent trips in order to engage in interlocutory contests with students of schools in this area. In a tournament at St. Louis U. High School, they finished fourth among twenty ' three participating teams. They missed winning first place by a very Joseph Fenoughty Kenneth Kain Dennis Griffin John Homrighausen Richard Wuller Elocution and Oratory First Row: John Battaglia, Edwin Schlos ' ser, Edward Bcrkel, Anthony Zagarski.

John Gundlach and Kenneth Juen, Elocution and Oratory Winners slim margin at a second tournament at St. Theresa ' s Academy, East St. Louis. The squad this year was composed of three Seniors, John Homrighausen, Kenneth Kain, and Richard Wuller; one Junior, James Kohl, and two Soph omores, Dennis Griffin and Joseph Fenoughty. The services of James Kohl, probably the team ' s best speaker, were lost at mid-season, when a serious illness forced him to leave school. Brother Robert Wagner, coach, deserves much credit for the success the boys achieved. Page Twenty ' tu ■»
