Q0 r af' eg on., 1 .., qu -r .o A '41, Any Tuesday afternoon take a few minutes out and listen to the scales and melodies that can be heard coming from the auditorium. It is constant work. However, the Clee Club members were rewarded for all their hard practicing as their renditions at Christmas and Graduation were excellent. Um yllafaify ylfaiwzs We pause for a moment to listen to those melodious strains of music coming from our school auditorium. Yes, it is our own outstanding school orchestra. The Junior and Senior Orchestras, under the direction of Mr. Richard Schwende and Sister Mary Agneta, have advanced and have become one of the foremost clubs enjoyed not only by the students but by guests as well. The Orchestra has played at such functions as ParentfTeacher Meetings, School Assemblies, Ring Ceremonies, Oratorical Contests, and Graduations, putting on programs of classical, semifclassical and popular music. Recently we have added new instruments -trumpets, saxophones, clarinets and trombones, making the Orchestra bigger and better in tone and volume. Our new Junior Orchestra, which is composed largely of new members, is doing extremely well, most of the members learning to play an instrument for the first time. The girls in this group who have joined this year are: Kathleen Rcavey, Mary Farley, Diane Devlin, Teresa Murray, Shiela McLaughlin, Claire Mar' rongiello, joan Lambert, Dorothea Henry, and Arlene Heilman. Excellent work has been done by our advanced members-Pat Duffy, Rosellen Walsh, Anna Gagliardi, Marilyn Maloney, Mary Rogers, and Ann Jeffers. All have benefited from the musical training and pleasure from the Orchestra. greatly derived GLEE CLUB The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind and melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks-to every heart. - Wagiier. Under the careful musical direction of Mr. Richard Schwende and our Sister Moderator, the Glee Club has proved itself to be the baekbon: of many entertainments on McAuley's social calendar. They have enlivened ParentfTeacher Meetings and Open School Day with their musical selections and have lent color to Graduation, the Christmas Pageant, and Assembly programs throughout the years. f-N51
