A delegation from the Mutlicrs' Club serves refreshments at one of the Oratory Dances THE MOTHERS? CLUB The Oratory Mothers had another very active year in which they proved of much help in a great variety of ways. The Mothers' Club was always on hand at the football games to serve refreshments which the Mothers' Club had provided. Mothers' homemade cookies were a delightful sur- prise at many of our dances and a welcome one to the refreshment table. However, this was only a small project to the Mothers' Club, Thcy have been holding an annual raffle for some years now, the goal of which is a new gymnasium, needed so badly by Oratory students. Their annual Card Party, to defray the cost of all the various functions throughout the year, has always proved to be highly successful, The athletic field which we have been enjoying during our four years at high school was a gift of the Mothers' Club. One of their most recent gifts was the grotto to our Blessed Mother which stands in front of Newman Hall. This was donated in honor of the deceased alumni. We are deeply indebted to the Oratory Moth- ers' Club for more things than we could men- tion here. Thank you for everything. Moth- ers' of Oratory,

Father Bain speaks to Fathers and Sons at the Fathers' Club Athletic Dinner. Tll-llll-3 FATT-lllElRS' CUUB The Oratory Fathers' Club is an active or- ganization of the fathers of Oratory students, established to further the interests of their sons, and aid in the development and im- provement of the school. The Fathers' Club runs an annual raffle, which terminates at the UFl1'Ul'1CI'S, and Sons' banquet , in May, The purpose of this raffle is to raise funds to help equip the various athletic teams, and also to give awards to the outstanding stu- dents in the school at graduation. During this past year, the highlights of the Fatihers' Club schedule were the audition and the Notre Dame University Glee Club Concert. The audition was held at Oraftory on Feb. 22nd, and the purpose of it was to determine the best male and female vocalists in the Nortihern N. J, Ca-tholic High Schools. The four top winners appeared with the Notre Dame University Glee Club when it sang at Summit High School on April sixth, The Fathers' Club frequently holds Father and Son meetings. The students of Oratory attend the meetings, at which, lectures are given on important questions, such as, Business Op-portunities, Safety Prob- lems, Uhe Draft, etc. These talks sometimes given by the fathers are a good example of the Orntory Fathers' Club. The students of Oratory are deeply in- debted to the Fathers' Club for all they have accomplished for us and our school,
