It consisted solely of the vocally-in¬ clined members of this year’s senior class. Due to the fact that the singers had been promptly informed, they already had a month’s practice before the close of last year. Thus they need¬ ed little help or direction in their vocalizing, and therefore started chant¬ ing the Mass on the first dav of School. In December a choir was formed to sing at the Bishop’s low Masses on Christmas. This also consisted prin¬ cipals of members of the senior choir with a few extra members. Professor Bernard L. Miller

Gerard Busch, S.M. lAJe defended in debate On the morning of October 18, a solemn Pontifical Low Mass was celebrated starting the opening of Youth Day. About 1500 students attended the mass and then marched to the Turner I lall for the events to follow. I he highlight of the day was a debate between the students of Cathedral and Notre Dame. I he topic discussed was, “The City is more conductive to Christian Family Life.” Representing the two schools were, lor Cathedral: Wally Drone, Bill Thebus, and Norm Meder; for Notre Dame: Joan Sullivan, Babs Ann Bowe, and Anna Beth Davis. The Cathedralites took an easy de¬ cision over the girls of Notre Dame. Cathedral also showed its spirit in other ways at the convention. Cathedral bovs helped out as messengers, ushers, and servers for attending hierarchy and clergv members. Needless to say, the conference was a big success. 10
