Holy Redeemer Girls' Orchestra HE PURPOSE of this organization-to develop and encourage a love for classical music and to furnish entertainment for school activities-has not been set in vain. When occasion demanded, pleasures were sacrificed by the members, and anything that interfered with loyal service was placed secondary. Truly has music been styled the speech of angels. If you have never heard thoughts expressed in rhythmic language-if you have never listened to a medley of joyful notes-if you have never been enthralled by the simple dignity of music-if your spirits have never been lifted from the depths of it 1S such music that the Holy Redeemer Orchestra develops At informal gatherings banquets entertain ments, class day exercises, and at formal gradua tions, our orchestra has offered willing service. Sin cere is the note of gratitude to these music lovers not only for the entertainment they have afforded us, but also for the splendid lesson they have taught. If We take the same route to success in life that they pursued to obtain harmony from unconquered notes, our lives will be harmonious, rhythmic and tuneful, capable of conquering the difficult situa- -iii - lil .l-1-.. gloom to the heights of contentment--you never have heard good music? and ,- 'J V Xi ? 3' X tions of life.

Holy Redeemer Boys' Orcheslra HE ORCHESTRA began as an organization in Junior B, having for its purpose the aim to furnish music at the pep 'rallies during the football sea- son. Gradually other experienced musicians from various classes were drawn into the orchestra, and as a result it became a school organization. It has as its purpose the desire to furnish music for various school activities, and to keep an interest in semi-classical orchestral work. With the assumption of the direc- torship by Reynolds Meier, '29, the orchestra made rapid, noteworthy success and development. Mr. Meier is a highly accomplished musician, and great prog- ress was made under his guidance. James Hurley is the librarian of the orches- tra, Practice is held every Wednesday. The pep rallies were livened considerably as a result of the music and occasional songs of the orchestra. The Class of '32 takes this opportunity to ex- tend the deepest gratitude and praise to the orches- tra and its director, Mr. Meier. The Class well realizes the labor and trouble under which the or- chestra members were placed. A livelier spirit has prevailed in-the school as a result of the functions of the orchestra.

Cafholic Acfion CommiH'ee HE CATHOLIC Action Committee was founded through the efforts of Brother Frank Servaites. The Club owes its origin to the appeal that His Holiness, Pope Pius the Xlth, has so frequently made during the past few years, for the spread of Catholic Action among its young members. Hugh lVlcShane was elected chairman of the committee. It has as its members representatives from all the classes. The Catholic Action Committee is one of the most active organizations in the school. Among its activities are: the Propagation of the Faith, the Mis- sions, Mite-boxes, Catholic literature, press selections and publications. Records of Communions at the novena devotions and of First Fridays, as well as of other spiritual activities, are some of the statistics being compiled by this group. l The work was arranged in such a manner that .Q rf!! i everyone had some special work to perform.
