Nadeau iris' les lub Our life at Lourdes is bound up in music. In addition to a very talented orchestra, song is interwoven with our various activities of which the Clee Club is one. Every girl who has been giving up her eighth period on Thursday will agree that the training received during this time is very valuable. It is a period of fun, yet a period of study on a subject in which everyone is vitally interested. The purpose of the club is to teach us to appreciate music and to cultivate our tastes for the finest kinds of music. The first public appearance of the club was at the jubilee celebration. The numbers were rendered in a manner that spoke well of their training. Helen Charette, accompanist, has done justice to the beautiful choruses. The club has mastered songs of high quality, and, although its appearances were not many, we can say that it is quality that counts, not quantity. Many in the Clee Club will not be here next year to continue their musical alhliations, and the loss will be keenly felt. Those graduating are: Gertrude Bernardy. Mary Bernice Brault, Dorothy Colburn, Ellen DesLauriers, Dolores Kass, Mary Kass, Maryon Laliond, Ursula Lauerman, Kathryn Mayville, Olivette Parent, Alice Reinhart, Helen Rock, Alice Roosen, Margaret Rouse, Kathryn Scherer, Marjorie Stang. Although the club will be temporarily affected by these vacancies, the present Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen will be able to fill the gaps most efficiently and we hope that the organization will continue to flourish in the coming years.

Much credit for the success of tl1e team is due to Sister Superior, our debate coach, who spared neither time nor energy to prepare the young orators for their work. Besides her actual help in doing research work, she gave them such thorough training that their oratorical abilities were de- veloped to a high degree. The record made by our team is exceptional when we consider the fact that the teams had very little previous experience. One of the most interesting and foremost teams was the one which debated on the .lury System. The question to be argued was: Resolved: That the United States System of Trial by Jury he Abolishedf' The affirmative was upheld by Alice Roosen and Ursula Lauerman, both of whom proved their skill in argumentation and oratory. The negative was defended by Margaret Rouse and Ellen DesLauriers, who proved to be successful in their persuasion and eloquence. W 1, The dual debate between Lourdes and Marinette High School proved to he the most interesting debate of the season. Both the affirmative and negative proved successful in their oratorical work and in their argumentation. These debaters deserve to be highly praised for their wonderful work. Hsu-:N ZYLKowsKI, '30.

Rockett E. llcrg ops' lee Qttuh There is scarcely anything in this great world which has given such great pleasure ami affected so great an influence for good on man as music and song. Thus it has been with the Boys' Glee Club. During the entire year they have given great delight to their listeners, and have affected them as much as a hundred piece orchestra with all its melody would be able to do. This organization had its beginning back in 1926 and each year the boys have shown wonderful development. However, 1930 can boast of the best singers Lourdes has produced in a long time. Their debut in 1929-1930 was made at Reverend Father Tulley's Jubilee cele- bration in November. Their solo parts in Gathering the Crain and Quid Retribuamn and their group work in the other choruses were splendid and received the hearty applause of the audience. The Quanet-William Webster, Gerald Rondeau, Aylward Powers, and Edward Berg, made a special hit on the occasion. The Christmas program., club programs and assemblies were always rendered more at- tractive and soul-stirring by the boys' singing, even though they did not appear in a body. They were always the power behind the group. Once a month the church resounded with the boys' singing of hymns and sacred songs in honor of the Holy Name. Each time the singing seemed to be better than that of the pre- ceding month. How could it be otherwise with the exceptional talent of the Boys' Clee Club? As a climax to the season s activities their voices were heard at the splendid St. Aquinas Club program. The season draws to a closeg there is a regret in our hearts as the Senior Boys depart from Lourdes and as the rest leave for a few months vacation, for their mighty voices shall not be heard for a time. Long live the Boys' Glee Club and may it continue to add glory to God and joy to men by its charming tribute of melody and song. GERALD Rownmu, '30. Page seventy three
