The Seniovaires The Senioraires, anonet comprised or nine ambitious lads from the fourth year class, was organized this year. Following the precedent set by last year's Bass Clef Oc- tet , these boys set aside a portion of the time allotted them for recreation to sing four voice harmony. 5The group sprang into existence when the members sought an added form of recreat- ion for themselves and an opportunity to utilize and cultivate their voices in the med- ium ot' mttsic. Having found this a very interesting past- ime they pian to continue their musical et'- forts and thus develop in themselves a great- er appreciation for music. Their greatest thrill has been their op- portunity to sing for His Excellency, Bishop Noll, on his seventy-t'it'th birthday. The Havmonizevs This talented group of perfor- mers did much to entertain the entire student body and faculty. These fellows, working in their spare time built a full repretoire of songs. Though specializing in barber-shop harmony they have also a flair for any type of music from popular to the classics. 'They have the ability to take an ordi- nary piece of music and turn it into il masterpiece. J. LaMere, A. Smith, J, Davidson, E. Cyr, J. Hoffman C. DcVliegher, ti. Snyder, J. Sedlak, H. Snider

Although the director, Rev. Lawrence E. Weisensel, O.S.C., prefers to have this organiza- tion referred to as a choir, it is more commonly called the Glee Club. Father has a good basis for this request because some of the selections which this organization has present- ed have had the trend of choir music. The highlight of this choir music was the Gloria in the Gregorian Style which was used at the Pontifical Mass of Bishop Kiwanuka. However, not all of the se- lections were of a choral na- ture. This was clearly seen in the Comic Operetta, The Dizzy Baton, which was presented by the members early in the year. The one scheduled forty-five minute rehearsal per week, though insufficient, provides a time of experience for the members, and the actual pre- sentations serve to develop a taste for better 111usic among the student body, for we can- not appieciate that which we do not know. Band Glee Club l':l5.:'e IT l l The Band, consisting ot six- teen musicians, under the ca- pable direction ot Rev. J. Cashman, O.S.C., is another evidence of the talent that is found at the seminary, Though small in quantity, there is no limit to the extraordinary quality of their music. Com- bining their skill at playing their instruments with the ex- pert guidance of their director, the members have produced an exquisite taste for fine music. Their ability to play and their eagerness to work together brought honor to themselves. their director, and the whole school.

The MARINEWS is the bi-wrekly publication ot' the students ot' Our Lady ot the Lake Seminary. We are quite proud ot' our paper, and particularly proud of our new printing machine, one ot' the newest and most up to date ot' its kind. We have this machine through the cour- tesy ot' his excellency John F. Noll, Bishop ot' the Fort Wayne diocese, and our Rev. Rector. The publication ot' the MARINICWS is almost completely in the hands ot' the students, With the Rev. Francis Iiiwer, O.S.C., as moderat0I'. Since the average day ot' a seminarian is prrtty well taken up prcparing for and fulfill- ing his scholastic requirements, we did not think it, wise to have a regular staff since it would not be fair to the boys involved. To combat this problem, we have a system which we con- sider unique, the appointment ot' a new editor, 12111011 t'1'011l 1119 SiX111 Yftlll' 111011 f01' 011011 NU11011- This editor in turn chooses his own staft' ot' reporters, artists, typists, and feature writers. This system serves the double purpose ot' not Occtiilyilhi T00 11111011 111110 01' 21 tcw 111f11VidL1illS. and also gives many the experience of operating a papcr which will prove invaluable to him in his priestly career.
