o c I o c o ll -O if C MUSIC APPRECIATION COURSE From January 10 to February lu, the students of music attended a Saturday class in music appreciation. Fourteen of the great masters of music, their lives and their works were studied: Bach, Handel, Hayden, Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi, Brahms, Tschaikowsky. The members of the class also learned some of the principal musical forms, such as: the sonata, the symphony, the string quartet, the opera, and the oratorio. Recordings of the works of some of the great composers played on the electric victrola intensified the interest of the class in the work of these masters. CHOIRS Two choirs alternated with the Church singing during the year. The Girls' Choir is composed of twenty members from the high school and the Boys' Choir of twenty-seven members from the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. Both choirs have continued their traditional correct rendition of the liturgical chants of the Church. Their voices have assisted greatly in promoting the congregational singing introduced at the Children's Mass this year. - Josephine Lokie

A high Mass in honor of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Light, was offered by Father Bernier. After Mass, Father spoke to the student body stressing the twofold purpose of education-- the enlightening of the mind and the discipling of the will. St. Marys welcomed the new members of the faculty: Sister Mary Cletus, Sister Ivona, Sister Eugenia and Sister Marita. Improvements and additions made during the summer vacation exceeded even our wildest hopes--two new classrooms added to the high school building, the old classroom off the porch of the grade school converted into a Wrealn principal's office, the library equipped with new tables and chairs and an addition of three sets of reference books, five new Underwood type- writers for the commercial department, the newly-painted class- rooms, and the appearance of the adjustable window shades are gustMsome of the items that make possible a bigger and better t. ary.
