GLEE CLUB Director, MR. PHILLIP CARNEY De La Salle's able Glee Club, composed of underclassmen, sang on April 20 at Saint Patrick's for the Solemn Pontifical High Mass celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Christian Brothers in the United States. The club offers its talents at the student meetings or other functions. Under Mr. Carney's direction, it has proved a competent outfit and since its inception two years ago has noticeably grown. At least twice a week there is practice, at which Mr. Carney strives for an artistic perfection that brings enjoyment to both the club and its heaters. May Mr. Carney's efforts con- tinue to make De La Salle's Glee Club the ideal. 61

One of the highest academic honors a student at De La Salle can receive is membership in the Azarias Honor Society. Named after one of De La Salle's most noted teachers, Brother Azarias, this society includes all stu- dents who obtain an average of 8570 or over in each subject. Since all students aspire to be members of the Azarias Honor Society, competition and consequent scholasticism among the classmen is incited.

The efforts of Editor Bissell were most ably sustained by Leslie Van Marter as associate editor. With such management the several editions of the Record for the '47-'48 scholastic year were produced. The editing and producing of a paper has its many trying details and challenges. How- ever, with a dependable staff, the difficulties were reduced to a minimum. The tradition of a school paper here at De La Salle can be traced back to the late sixties. Occasionally there have been lapses in production. However, the RECORD offers an excellent medium for those who have journalistic interest to be invested. Too, it offers an excellent medium for the circulation of school thought, interest and spirit. To produce the paper requires no small effort. The editors and staff are to be commended for their efforts and sacrifices in seeing to it that De La Salle is so well represented in the field of scholastic journalism.
