We have two clubs devoted to giving their members a better appreciation of music: The Cecilian Club and The Glec Club. Since the members of the Cecilian Club are either students who are members of the music classes or former members of them, Sister Mary is the moderator. The Glee Club, under the able direction of Miss Miller, has proved to be the nucleus for several successful minstrels and operettas. During our freshman year H. M. S. Pinafore was presented and in our sophomore year The Forest Prince. This year The Gondoliers was the oper- otta selected for presentation. For Christ Our King he Zezeaiand an organization under the di- rection of Sister Mary Lucia, C.S.J., meet every other VVed- nesday.

The unit is named after The Little Flow- er, vvho at one time was sacris- tan in her Carmelite convent in Lisieux.
