Glee Club Our lives are songs, God writes the words and we set them to music at pleasuref' Immaculata Glee Club gave witness to the words of Ella Wilcox throughout the entire school year. As true songsters the students added a harmonious gaiety to the Immaculata Day Program. Soloist Kathy Power, an outstanding member of the chorus, per- formed two folksongs, one a self-composition. In the spirit of the holiday season, the glee club caroled through the halls spreading Christmas cheer in its silver- toned style. The vocal scores of the Spring Musicale provided a challenge for each singer. America Our Heritagev by Ades and Steele and O Lovely Hourn by Chopin ranked among the many complicated numbers. The success of this talented group can be attributed to the interest and enthusiasm of Sister Ann Bernadette, I.H.M., and the determination of the students. Melodious voices enthralled the audience in the invisible world of music.

Religious Activities Immaculata, in tune with the Church of Vati- can II, set a new precedent this year by celebrat- ing a Folk Mass every First Friday. Each stu- dent, giving witness to his Christian faith, partici- pated with new vigor and enthusiasm in the modern hymns. A spirit of Christian love and unity spread among the semi-circle of Immaculatans as they worshipped God with a refreshing feeling of one- ness. A monthly Mass for each class strengthened the realization of the primary purpose of an Im- maculata education. Monsignor Kelly solemnly raised the monstrance as altar boys Albert Macchi and Stephen Bocckino paid homage to Christ, our Savior. Reverend Richard Ewing offered a crown to Mary, our Patroness and Protectress. as a symbol of Immaculatan love and devotion. Guitarists Margaret McCaughey and Kathleen Power accompanied Reverend Carl Wagner, Diocesan Director of Vocations, ad- organists Jeanette Vuocolo and Eileen Cahill during the Folk Mass 54 dressed the seniors on the importance of accepting one's voca- on Vocation Day. tion.
