Music-ThaT wonderful balm Tor The many ills of The human soul. WheTher iT be The solemn and ser- ious melodies oT The Gregorian ChanTs or The lighT, relaxing Tunes of The good old days each in iTs own way finds an imporTanT and safisfying place in our daily lives. The Gregorian ChanT Choir pracTiced long and oTTen. When They appeared in public, The long hours of praciice could be Truly appreciaTed. lnTricaTe poly- phonic chanTs and The simple Gregorian melodies were rendered equally well. For simple and pure recreaiion and enioymenT, noThing was so pleasanT as The gaTherings of The Sing Along Club. The old and new Tunes found Their way inTo Their reperToire. All They needed was a piano and a liTTle genTle nudge and soon The familiar sTrains of good old fashioned harmony filled The room. WheTher we were sad or gay, wheTher The Jour- ney became diTTiculT or pleasanT, Their Tunes and rendiTions were always a welcomed sound To en- courage and help us along our way.

STAMP and COIN CLUB Distant and strange lands became close and familiar friends for members of the Stamp and Coin Club. Their regular meetings were filled with the latest information of the latest editions and newest coins available. Likewise, they read and prepared papers on the many countries of the world which their numerous collections covered. By these meet- ings, the members are able to improve the quantity of their collections. Carefully prepared talks delivered by individual members help to broaden everyone's knowledge of various countries, their quaint customs and important personages. r A large part of every meeting is devoted to the exchange of stamps. Both the Stamp and Coin Club's activities enlarge the vision of members, broaden their knowledge and in innumerable ways enrich their lives. Each stamp and coin becomes a flying carpet transporting the collector to the far off places of the world or back into the pages of History. Their exhibits broadened our own horizons and make us well aware of the many new members of the family of nations. i T' -,QL .. in if A3 e .lit 4131 llglfl Paul Skoczylas, Robert Koralewski and Father Robert catch up on the latest stamp news.

Whenever and wherever They could, The members of The club were popping bulbs and clicking shuTTers. They became bonafide members of The -iusT one more- club. OT course, They always had willing and eager subiecTs. They kepT a picTure album of our Tour years' sTay aT Baker-VicTory. Many mornings our TirsT sTop, The bulleTin board, was filled wiTh Their many inTeresTing shoTs. As we look over Their many prinTs, we say Thanks Tor a iob well done. ' Any day aTTer school you could go To The Library To see The Chess enThusiasTs pracTicing new sTraTa- gems and gambiTs. To many iT was a dull way To spend an aTTernoon, buT oTher kibiTzers always had The lasT word on every board played. ATTer Turning up for several weeks, The players were OTT on The road Trying ouT Their skill and Tech- niques againsT oTher schools. Their example leTT us wiTh one imporTanT impression: The road To success is noT always The shorTesT or sTraighTesT way. Some- Times a deTour is helpful. cHEss cLuB SITTING: M. Barberio, D.
