1933 -'I' HE CAHDANILE-1933 BOYS' ORCHESTRA FEW years ago the Boys' High School was without an orchestra or band. The students of the school often felt this deficiency whenever social affairs called for music. It seemed to pull down the prestige of the school to have to go to outsiders and ask them to play for us. Sometimes the Girls, Orchestra was in the pit. But whenever an affair was strictly for the boys, we had to do without the melodious tunes of an orchestra. A gathering did not seem complete without music. Soon the boys decided that they wanted an orchestra of their own. Junior B was the pioneer. Last year they gathered together a group of musicians from the room to furnish music for the class pep-meetings. It proved a success and so they decided to organize a school orchestra which would supply music for all future affairs. JAMES HURLEY President During the summer practice was discontinued. But with the starting of school in Septem- ber the players again became active under the supervision of Brother Charles Krug. It was not long before Brother Charles found that a good deal of his time was taken with the Annual and Glee The his time The plays rendered by the dramatic club, father and son night, etc. Indeed the time, labor and sacrifice of its members has brought it great recognition and made it one of the schoolis most active organizations.

1933 -'I' HE IAHDANILE-1953 GIRLS' ORCHESTRA INCE the very beginning of history music has been recognized as capable of exerting a powerful influence over the feelings and emotions of man. When praise is to be renderd, grief assuaged, or joy expressed, music is frequently the medium used. The king and the peasant, the Oriental and his western brother, .111 find a common means of expression is this language of the angelsf' Throughout our years at Holy Redeemer one organization that has vividly impressed itself on our memory is the school orchestra. Looking back, we can truly say that the orchestra has sounded the various chords of our scholastic career. During XVAUNETTA CH-'KRBONEAU our carefree years in the grade school, daily we marched to the P fXi'1 f strains of its martial airs, and at every school event or parish entertainment we found the orchestra present, ready to add the final touch of color to the pageantry. On Class Day, with its smiles and tears, the orchestra will play the final beloved school songs that will ring in loving memory through the years, and at last when Commencement night arrives, and we must leave forever the school that has sheltered us during our happy years with her, it will be to the triumphal strains of our school orchestra. The Class of 1933 feels that it owes an undeniable debt of gratitude to the members of the orchestra, and to their director, for the many times they have come to our assistance and for the harmonious way in which they have added pleasure to the joyous entertainments of our school days. We heartily congratulate them, and we leave our Alma Mater with the hope that the School Orchestra will continue to function and remain the pleasant factor it has ever been in the life of Holy Redeemer students.

1933 -T I-IE CAMDANILE-19:3 JIUNTUR GlLlElE CLUB HE Junior department of the Glee Club is a branch of the Senior Glee Club. Both groups act as a unit. This club consists of all the members of the Glee Club who are not Seniors. All the students, Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors are eligible for membership, if their voices are musical enough to qualify them. This is the first year that the boys, high school has ever had such an organization as a Glee Club. It was started by Brother Charles Krug. When he was removed in January, Brother Robert Blume took over the management of the Glee Club. It was a novel and entertaining feature when the club sang the football song at the pep rally. Early March found the members practicing assiduously, and anyone passing in the neighbor- hood of the music room was attracted by their beautiful harmony. The Glee Club was preparing Q'Whispering Hope' for the Nameday celebration of the Pastor, Reverend Father Joseph Elenz, C. Ss. R. The song was rendered with surprising skill and merited commendation of the Pastor. What added to the effect was that it was rendered a cappella. The tenors and basses blended in beautiful harmony. Without a director each part was attacked with precision and certainty. The Glee Club was one of the most entertaining groups of the school and we hope that the Junior Glee Club will carry on in the years to come. T017 Row: H. Mack, Welniak, A. Van Horn, G. Kempf, D.
