Treasurer The members of the El Circulo Castellano met in September with the same lively enthusiasm with which they organized the club last year. This year many new features of interest were added. In February we welcomed into our ranks several new members. Later in the season a card party and dance was held in which many members of the college participated. Though the club is still in its infancy it is now aililiated with El Instituto de las Espaiiasu which was founded in our country in 1920 by the Institute of International Education. Its object is to promote interest in the Spanish and Portuguese civilizations and to foster cultural relations between the United States and all Hispanic nations. gwbefgxssftgm at s if R JSSEBJBSNEJS W 108

In addition to the annual concert presented in the college auditorium on April 17th by the entire Glee Club, consisting of sixty members, the 19314932 schedule included a short program over Station WLWL in January and on April 23rd a program over Station WOR. The January broadcast, a feature in the series of programs arranged by the College Council on Catholic Action, of which Good Counsel is an active member, was given by a group of thirty voices. Among the selections were Stephen Foster's popular Negro ballad, Carry Me 'Long, Nevin's Venetian Love Song, and the old English Folk Song, Mayday Dance. Miss Laetitia O'Neil,'33, played the piano accompaniment. During the year the many lovers of music, vocal and instrumental, took advantage of every opporf tunity to attend musical concerts both in White Plains and in New York City, and, owing to the proximity to the college of the Westchester County Center, these opportunities were frequent. GREGORIAN CHANT Under the direction of Professor Bogatto, and the zealous and inspiring leadership of Sister Mary Compassion, who is also the organist, the students have given considerable time to Gregorian Chant. To illustrate one of the many practical uses to which they have this year put the skill acquired in this branch of music, we quote extracts from the announcement in the St. Francis Xavier Church Bulletin for May: We are happy to announce that on Pentecost Sunday, May 15th, at 11 o'clock our choir will be augmented by the girls' choir of Good Counsel College, White Plains. The choir will sing the Gregorian Miss cum jubilo .......... Professor Bogatto, the leader of our choir and also professor of liturgical music at Good Counsel College is perhaps the foremost representative among the ardent disciples of Father Young, having been associated with him for some twenty years.

wa v? Sf If T ala. Brooklynf Long Island Chapter DOROTHY KIERNAN . , President MARTHA FINK . VicefP'resident ADBLAIDE BITTNBR , Secveravy MARY BURKE , Treasurer Although we admit that White Plains serves as a beautiful setting for Good Counsel, we still remain loyal to our own native land, Brooklyn, that fair city where we spend our weekends and holidays. To prove our fealty, we point with pride to the BrooklynfLong Island Chapter whose inf creasing ranks seem to indicate that the fame of Good Counsel has been broadcast far and wide. At the reorganization meeting the members voted two meetings a month, one of which was devoted exclusively to the business of the club. Early in May plans for a Bridge and Tea were undertaken, resulting in a highly successful affair held in the Club Room and attended by the members and their friends. The ranks were considerably thinned in june with the departure of the Senior members, but with the coming of September the gaps will be filled and the Chapter will anticipate another year of success. gmbeiaxsefwm sa W as JB6E6JB6Xs5Q!3 W 109
