Cymru! Counterpoint and yncopaiion Page Sixty Upper lett: Margaret Wentland enjoys a tew spare moments at the organ. Lower Iett: Harmonious strains till the corridors when the choir, made up ot junior and senior Glee Club members, sings at Mass. Right: Delighting audiences the whole year 'round, the Glee Club can always be counted on to lend happiness to the occasion. And, whether it is Three Blind Mice or the Regina Coeli. the Glee Club can sing it. The Immaculata Glee Club entertains the students and friends of the school at many events during the year. At the annual St. Cecilia Day celebration, their voices add to the popularity of the recital with a selection of songs and a hymn to their patroness. At Christmas time, besides cheering the sick at Frank Cuneo Hospital with carols in honor of the Christ Child, they sing downtown at Lyon and I-lealy's music store. Added to this, background music for the senior play and Verse Choir productions enter the program. Practice during the third pe- riod makes morning classes more enjoyable to the ears ot all who may be tor- tunate enough to be near. Only one full credit, given for the first two years of work, may be gained tor Glee Club participation. Many juniors and seniors, however, finish their schooling with four years in the choral group.

Jglencl fo ake appy armony ere With the traditions of the former lmmaculata music students before them, the St. Cecilia Circle, official organization of the school's pianists, continues to live up to the standards set twenty odd years ago. In addition to supplying arrange- ments of the latest popular music, as well as the classics, for their classmates' enjoyment, members are often called upon to accompany singers. Under the leadership of Barbara King, Iris White, Catherine Thiel, and Margaret Went- land, the club gets together for little meetings and parties. First on the sched- ule of events patterned out is the annual St. Cecilia Day recital. Here, under the direction of the Circle, the other musicians join hands in presenting the pro- gram to an invited audience. Then, too, the entire student body witnesses the monthly recitals of the musicians. Besides these, numerous programs are held in Recital Hall for the piano, organ and voice students. And lastly, there are im- promptu gatherings of students around the pianos in the homerooms.
