BAND Composed of musicians from all three schools on the campus and under the baton of Fr. Henry Warakszi, the band manifests its musical skill on a number of occasions, but primarily during the Yul'etide season and at the annual Spring concert. This young group of musicians gayfully imparts a spirit of symphonizing good will into the hearts of its listeners. A successful performance is al- ways its aim and achievement. Each of the mem- bers from flute to tuba, from drum to clarinet, always gives his all to continue a tradition of ac- complishment that is unrivalled in thc musical an- nals of Orchard Lake. Frequent and regular prac- tices, though time consuming and sacrifice de- manding, bring about the required perfection of execution that distinguish this body and evoke the enthusiastic reception which always comes its way.

HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB The members of St. Mary's High School Glee Club impart an added cheerfulness to St. Mary's Campus through their melodic interpretations of popular and religious music. Many opportunities for a display of their talents present themselves through the school year both on and off campus. The beautiful solo rendition of the Ave Maria at the Christmas Musicale by Leonard Baron, a Junior, was one of the year's Glee Club highlights. 5 355 Q fate W x ' V t as Q...

PREP EI. B5 1 f-' 'KZ LITTLE THEATRE The development of the whole man cannot be complete unless he receives an education in the aesthetic, a vital part of which is the field of speech and drama. To fulfill its standard of com- plete education St. Mary's has formed a Little Theatre in which three-act plays and skits are pre- senlcd regularly throughout the academic year. With this experience in the theatre, the young man is better able to adapt himself to life in our mod- ern society, to appreciate the art of acting and play production, and to give opportunity to his dramatic desires and abilities.

CRAFT CLUB Not only should the High School student be ed- ucated intellectually, morally and religiously, but also he must be afforded the opportunity of a manual education. For the fulfillment of this need: the Craft Club has been organized in the High School Department. It is designed to fulfill this desire of many students by enabling them to put their own ideas into effect in wood, metal and leather. Officers: Director: Prefect A. Wozniakg President: T.
