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.

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.

1953 -'I' HE CAHITANILE -19:43 JUNIOR SERVERS ITH the beginning of the ninteen thirty-three school year, Brother Frank Springmann, the moderator of the Acolytes, undertook the task of rejuvenating the Acolytical Society. The first meeting at which nearly forty boys attended, different groups were picked and captains appointed over these groups. This meeting marked the beginning of a very active year for every acolyte. They inaugu- rated the school year of nineteen thirty-three by assisting at the Mass of the Holy Ghost which is annually sung for the success of the students throughout the term. Each server was dressed in white, carried a lighted candle and knelt at the altar during Mass. Surely, this very impres- sive service opened a very eventful season for the members of the Acolytical Society. The second important function in which the altar boys took an energetic part were the Tuesday devotions in honor of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. It does not occur to question the motive which prompted such generous service-it is the same as that of the angels and Apostles in that they all may say I servef' whereas Lucifer once said, I will not serve. The Acolytical Society is composed of boys who have by now become so accustomed to the tasks which they perform, that their work is taken for granted. The Junior Servers have been most faithful in their duty in serving daily Mass. The ceremonies on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and ending Easter marked the completion of a most successful year. Surely God will reward the generous students who participated in the various services during nineteen thirty-two and ninteen thirty-three. Top Row: T. Soules, E. Collins, W. Kohls, F. Lark, H.
