The name Camarata is explanatory of the nature of the organiza- tion. It is taken from the early Italians whose interest in opera incor- porated them into the first Camarata. The Camarata Club’s first aim is to attain a natural appreciation and love for music. In order to achieve this aim, the monthly meetings held during the year featured entertainment based on the lives and works of famous composers, lectures on their different techniques, and the study of their compositions. The most notable field trip taken by the Camarata Club was to the Metropolitan Opera House where they heard Verdi’s “Aida”. With Sister M. Beatrice as moderator the members gained a true appreciation of music. The officers are: Mary Geis, president; Lorraine Oklamcak, vice- president; Lois Franco, secretary; and Jacqueline Curette, treasurer. One of the most popular and active organizations, the Glee Club, under the direction of Dr. Jeno Donath, had a very successful year. Beginning the season with a concert given at the annual Christmas H Banquet, the club then played hostess to Fordham and St. Joseph’s College who presented choral concerts during the year.
