Camera Club HE Camera Club was successfully launched on its photographic career in the year of l927. Having gained the permission of the Rector, Rev. Patrick Dunne C.S.S.R., Brother Charles Kolf S.lVl. grouped his little band of pioneers together, and Iitted out a dark room for themselves over in the Eldred Street School. Becoming interested in the activities of the club, the senior and junior classes for 1927 combined and bought a graflex, which has since been used ex- tensively on many different occasions. The purpose of this organization was to give to the interested members a further insight into the mysteries of photography. It has also proved useful for furnishing prints for the annuals. In fact, one might say that due to the Camera Club, the various year-books have been able to all but eliminate the necessity of purchasing professional photography, since practically every group photograph in these books is the result of this club's activity. For four years it has continued on its own resources which were derived from the selling of pic- tures of school activities to those students who are interested in keeping a pic- torial record of their school days. At the different meetings the operation of many makes of cameras was discussed. Members were shown how to take pictures, make prints, make en- largements, and many other interesting phases of photography. Brother Charles collected all the old prints and placed them in an album which now contains a very concise history of sports at Redeemer. Books and magazines, which had reference to this art of picture taking and making, were kept in circulation. New members are added each year from the junior classes, thus keeping alive in the school such a valuable and instructive organization. , R ' in V, ,I -. a I'1'lii' iiX l .

Dramatic Club RAVING maniac, a house breaker, a girl, a black knight of the road, sev- eral desperados. a cop, a grave yard at midnight, a ghost and a bag of pea- nuts! Here you have it, gentlemen! All the requisites for a heavy drama. Such was the vehicle chosen by the Dramatic Club to display its talent and contribute to the entertainment of the student body. Feeling that there was room for another organization in the school which would provide for further expression of student initiative, a goodly number of the seniors conceived the possibility of organizing a club which would devote itself to the study of the drama. That such an activity appealed to the class is sufficiently attested by the large number of students claiming membership with the Dramatic Club. Officers were elected for the year consisting of T. Lentes, president. T. Devine, secretary, and J. Finn, treasurer. Meetings were held in the school library every Monday evening. A constitution was adopted and a plan of activities was outlined. Later it was decided that the endeavors of the Club would not be confined to dramatics but would embrace all such activities as would pertain to the school. As a consequence it included such things as literature, athletics and various forms of entertainment. Among the various accomplishments of this young organization mention might bg'made of the presentation of a one act play for the benent of the An- nual. Both the reception of and returns from this little sketch were very en- couraging. Several weeks previous to the Christmas holidays the club an- nounced a short story contest to the underclassmen offering two money prizes for such Christmas stories as would appear in the parish weekly. All in all the club proved successfully active. ' Fit f .eg - A - ' A WT fs Q fi 3 A ,. i lllllllllhmw-.... ,..., g . , -,QATMW XX ,,,1':A a52,.-ez. e 4 ww- .1-... Amie f- W.

Orchestra HIS organization was founded nearly thirty years ago through the indom- itable efforts of Sister Mary Grace. lt was in those days when the little frame buildings of Holy Redeemer echoed with the lilting melodies of Irish songs on memorable Saint Patrick's Feasts, that the orchestra won its place in the hearts of all our parishioners. Vtfhen the Grey's produced their famous dramas, the musical compositions of the orchestra were always considered neces- sary for a perfect evening at Holy Redeemer Auditorium. No graduation exer- cise was ever complete without our orchestra, and certainly the Alumni cannot help but associate commencement with traditional strains of the triumphal march. When the dream of our present day Roman basilica was being realized in its erection. the orchestra assisted in the stupendous financial undertaking by playing at charity functions, bazaars and socials. lt won city-wide admira- tion for its renditions at the Marygrove Festival several years, and only this year was again commended for its splendid performance at the Hudson Art Exhibition. The present orchestra under the direction of Sister Angela has most suc- cessfully perfected their outlined work, and the Class of '30 extends the deepest gratitude to its members who have in musical language sounded the chords of our scholastic life and have completed the symphony of our academic career.
