Hours of practice and study bear fruit in a good number of beau- tiful recitals each year. During the current year, four Seniors were presented ln recitals for the Senior Certificate in Music. Eight girls received the Junior Certificate. A musical highlight of the first semester was our lovely operetta, nA Waltz Dreamn, by Oscar Strauss. Countless were the glowing praises with which it was received by three large au- diences last November. The renown of our orchestra grows daily. It now numbers forty-two girls, whose loyalty, and cooperation, together with long hours of practice under the irresistible baton of their per- suasive maestro, result in the beautiful music we love to hear. Our Holy Names Choral is a large and important section of the Music Department. Their me- lodious numbers and the charm with which they are rendered make this group a very popular one. Frequently when these songbirds perform, audiences plead, nwhy can't we have more?n A music club, 'the Cecllians, has been formed by students of the Music Department.
