One of the most pleasant things in the world is to listen to a beautiful song. The human voice is the instrument of God. Thus in an effort to cultivate the beautiful, and as an encouragement to student talent, the glee club was formed. Display of ability and interest in this newly organized club has been edifying. The students were enthusiastic over the chance to show their proficiency at singing or to cultivate their voices. Despite the fact no McCormicks or Casanovas are boasted, many singers of promise were enrolled. The club was segregated into groups, namely tenors, baritones, and bases. WILLIAM KoL13E P1 C'Sill1l'1If Under the direction of its able moderator, Brother Charles Krug, strenuous practice sessions were conducted. He was succeeded by Brother Robert Blume in February. Wednesday afternoons, fifty lusty glee club voices could be heard preparing for some appearance. These practices proved to be productive of very fine results. On Thursday, March 16, the glee club won the approval of the student body. They sang at the Nameday Celebration of Reverend Father Joseph Elenz. The group received the compliments of Father Elenz as well as winning the praise of the students. Both the Senior and Junior divi- sions of the glee club were arranged together on the stage. Their performance was a great success. Top Row: R. Coatsworth, L. Duva, J. Morgan. J, Sweeney, F. Ricden, H. Sinnctt, J. Hurley, J. DcGroot, J. Detlof. Middle Roux: J. Maher, N. Pyka, G.

193: -'I' HE CAHDANILE-1933 DEBATTNG CLUB HE Seniors of 1933 entered with enthusiasm into plans for the reorganization of that most vital of our scholastic activities, the Debating Club. Membership was left optional, thus render- ing every volunteer willing, interested, and eager to cooperate. The self-assurance and ease of manner, developed through the series of debates so capably conducted, has been apparent to even the least observant. The development of these qualities, together with the training in clear thinking and effective persuasion, has been ample compensation for the long hours of labor consumed in studying , propositions, preparing briefs, and assembling material for the fin- ished argument. LORETTA WAI.LACE Every other week the halls resounded to the persuasive oratory Pmidmt of the debaters as they propounded the deeply absorbing questions chosen for discussion. Inter-Club debates were again the type of contest, a definite plan being followed with each subject selected. Four teams studied the proposition. Two debates were thus prepared, and the winning teams met in a Hnal contest. This method provided greater interest and enthusiasm among a larger group of debaters and enabled each member of the club to prove her forensic power at least twice during the debating season. Such questions as the necessity of a Child Labor Amendment, Disarmament, Filipino Inde- pendence, and the Movies were the subjects debated. This aggregation of topics, ably discussed, has written a page in the history of the Debating Club of Holy Redeemer Girls' High School, and we feel that the organization has more than achieved its purpose.

1933 -'I' HE CAHDANILE-ions CAMERA CLUB ICTURES are treasures locked in my heartf, Photographs truly are precious possessions which refresh our memories. In recog- nition of this fact the Camera Club has always been an active organization at Redeemer. The veteran club which was organized in nineteen twenty- seven has completed another successful year. 'While the activity of former years has not been shown, the group has done a great part in making the CAMPANILE a success. Principally through the feature section of the annual, the club has endeavored to impart some of the treasures of photography to the student body. Under the able direction of Brother Charles VINCENT WAGA-mA Krug, who expended much time and energy in the work, the Camera P'e5idL 'f Club has gained a wealth of knowledge in this line. This organiza- ' tion dedicated to the art of photography has entered extensively into the study of developing and printing. Moreover during instructions enlarging and tinting were studied to a slight extent. Knowledge gained in such courses may prove helpful to many of the members. The Camera Club, year after year retains a hold on the student body. There are reasons for this ardent interest displayed in the organization. Besides giving an insight into the very use- ful art of photography, the club renders a fascinating feature section for the Annual possible. These causes combined with the many others make the Camera Club one of the schools most popular groups. Top Row: L. Zak, S. Stack, F. Wui'tsnuith, J. DeGroot, H. Kehoe, J. Morgan, F. Szymanski, A.
