Choral Club olhcers Maureen Whelan, treasurerg Barbara Ruane, presidentg Mary Frances Shea, vice-presidentg and Margaret Howard, secretary, practice for perfection in their vocal efforts. Choral Club Promotes Expression in Song Highlighting the year's entertainment are musicals sponsored by the vocal groups. These festivities, while giving valuable experience, exhibit the singers' talents and provide an enjoyable evening for any audience. Under the direction of Sister Ann Teresa, members of the Choral Club learn the rudiments of good breath- ing and pitch control and a basic conception of part singing. Vocalists who are particularly interested in developing their voices may join smaller groups, such as the Immaculaires, where they receive more intensive training in technique and tone. Through the many programs presented during the year, the Music Department strives to instill in each girl a love for the beauty that is portrayed in music.

Athletic Association Encourages Sporfmonship In cooperation with the nation-wide program of physical fitness, Immaculata has launched an extensive campaign to urge student participation in an ever-in- creasing range of activities. Included on the calendar of events are team sports as well as opportunities for the individual skater, bowler, swimmer, or equestrienne. In sponsoring intramurals and entering competition with other schools, players acquire an intensive feeling of loyalty toward their school and a sense of responsi- bility toward themselves and their classmates. Such ac- tivities build a spirit of cooperation between students and teachers. The Athletic Association strives to in- still a sense of sportsmanship in each girl while develop- ing additional skill in the sphere of physical health and discipline. Of special help to the IAA are scorekeepers Nial O'Melia and Bernadette van Houten who record another goal as IHS's score mounts.

Charitable Clubs Convey Hope and Cheer The Catholic Students' Mission Crusade and The Jun- ior Red Cross afford students the opportunity to help their neighbor. By participation in the CSMC, students aid foreign and home missions through prayer in offer- ing their daily actions for the monthly mission inten- tion, sacrifice in giving their services for apostolic ac- tivities, and almsgiving in the weekly mission collec- tions and the annual Bishops, Relief Fund Drive. By studying in detail the effects of Communism, the Pala- din Club strives to enlighten its members concerning this evil and its influence in the modern-day world. The Red Cross members, prompted by a desire to help the unfortunate, make visits to various homes and settlement houses and send gift boxes to the needy. Through joint efforts of these clubs, members bring cheerfulness and hope to lonely and neglected people around the world. CSMC ofhcers Janis Pohanka, vice-president, Frances Bogaard, treasurer, and June Bogan, publicity manager, wait to congratulate President Rose Ann McDermitt as Secretary Mary Ann Heider presents the Paladin Jewel to her.
