A few of the original group did not survive the voice tests: later a few who were taking part in other conflicting activities dropped out, until finally the club consisted of twenty members: five first tenors, six second tenors, five baritones, three basses, and an accompanist. The Glee Club has appeared before the public on May 7 at the Mothers' Day Program, on May I3 at the School Theater Production, and on June I9 at Commencement Exercises. Page nineteen

EVERAL weeks after the opening of the present school year in September, a new organization called the Student Activities Council was formed. The members of this group were carefully selected by Brother Marcian, C.S.C., and Brother Thomas, C.S.C. An election of officers was held with the result that Edward F. Donahue, and Corn- elius Lynch were voted the posts of president, and vice-president, respectively. The chief duties of the S. A. C. men are to supervise the traffic in the corridors, to assist at athletic contests, and to officiate in the maintenance of order at all school assemblies. Each member is easily recognized since he wears a small C monogram-band around his arm. Page eighteen

From the very start enthusiasm ran high, so that when the initial call for members was made, no fewer than sixty responded, this gesture alone assured those in charge a broad foundation on which to build a living theater. Early in October a cast was sought for the presentation of lt Won't Be Long Now . Out of the original sixty members some thirty were selected for tryouts in the various roles: finally, fifteen were chosen to make up a single cast, the ori- ginal idea of running a double cast being dropped. The show was staged on December l7, before a packed house: the plaudits of the audience attested the excellence of the performance. The play was directed and staged by Brother Ronald, C.S.C., ably assisted by Brother Jarlath, C.S.C. Page twenty
