THE Camarata Club was founded in 1942 by a group of ardent music enthusiasts. To enter this club, a student need not be a music majorg one with an appreciation and love of music is welcome to membership. Through this club, the novice may be intro- duced to the value and purpose of all phases of music. The name Camarata is derived from a group of early Italians, who gathered for the develop- ment of their musical knowledge at the home of Count Bardi, where they discussed the current operas and musical scores. Through their in- terest, the group incorporated themselves into the first Camarata. Club Meetings are held each month with Sister Mary Beatrice as moderator. The lives of com- posers are discussed and their works heard and studied. This musical discussion is not con- fined entirely to operatic and classical works but to modern selections as well, with special in- terest in the works of those whose artistic genius has not been generally recognized. The Cama- rata provides an outlet for those who wish to foster a true appreciation of music. Often, a talented student finds exercise for her ability in performing and demonstrating her art at the meeting. The officers of the Camarata Club are: Pres- ident, Lois Driscoll, Vice President, Jeanne Ward, Secretary, Dorothea Scheuermanng Trea- surer, Claire Marie.Roth. Camarata

Mary Martha Eagan, President, and Rosemary Quinn, Vice President of Michaelangelists, study FOUNDED in 1915 by Elsie Oakes, an outstand- ing artist of Philadelphia, who died in 1940, the club adopts the name of the Renaissance Italian, Michaelangelo Buonarroti, and draws inspiration from his artistically expressive ideals. The creative genius of Michaelangelo not only as a truly great painter, but also as a sculptor and architect, provides the members with an incentive. Regular projects of the group include lee- ture series, visits to points of art interest, and regular discussion meetings. This year members toured a nearby textile mill and a modern housing development. Dedicated to the appreciation of expressive art works, the Miehaelangelists annually con- clude their activities with an exhibit of student work. The exhibit is comprised of oils, water colors, charcoals, pastels, textile designs, ana- tomy illustations, and fashion creations. Awards were given to winners of pictures in each iiield. This year featured a poster contest sponsored by Sister Mary Coneepta. The aim of each poster was a stimulating of interest in stud'ent relief, a project sponsored by the N. F. C. C. S. Under the tutelage of Sister Mary Giovanni, Art Department Head, and Miss Helen R. Cole, alumna of Georgian Court College, and an in- structor of Fine Arts, this art group is part of the active cultural program of tl1e college.
