One of the outstanding among these, in color and sheen, is the spectrum of the Curie Science Club, which is surpassed by no other. The Curie Science Club was organized in 1928 and named after the greatest woman scientist living today, Madam Curie, the discoverer of radium. During the cluh's two years of existence its progress in all things has proved marvelous. This year in particular are we proud of our club, for it has reached a summit-it is a registered science club. The club is divided into two sections, the Junior and Senior groups. Eachl group is inter- ested in general science, so the monthly programs have included physics, chemistry, aviation, and astronomy. Its membership is limited to those students who are pursuing a course in science and who wish to increase their knowledge in scientific matters. These, before being initiated into the club, must have sufficient proof that they have fulfilled and lived up to all the rules and regulations of the school. The formal meetings are held on the first Friday of the month and the informal meetings on the third Friday. A president for the entire club and two treasurers, one for each divi- sion, were elected at the beginning of the term to serve for the whole year. The chairman and secretary are appointed each month by our director, to whom the club owes the deepest gratitude, for through her endeavors the success of this organization is due.

Licgeois the little lnmet literary lub We, the freshmen of this year, zealously embarked on our high school career, and spent the first term in becoming acquainted with our books and studies. But when finally we broke away front conquering Latin, and the worries of algebra, we went at developing and organizing Freshmen activities with Wim, wigor, and witality, which resulted principally in a literary club under the patronage of the Little Flower. At the first meeting we discussed the real meaning of the club, adjusted dues lwith an eye to the pre-Lenten party? and adjourned with high resolution and ideals. Every meeting since has proved the ability of the class to put on cultural and enjoyable programs. The boys were pleasantly surprised, when, after the business session at one meeting. the girls revealed their dramatic accomplishments in a one-act play named Solemn Pride. The hopes of a pre-Lenten party were not realized so a post-Easter party was given instead. It was at this celebration that the boys repaid the girls with an amusing entertain- ment which left the girls bewildered and doubtful of their own ability and success. During the year the class studied Shakespeare's famous play Julius Caesar. Although the girls were good in dramatizations, the boys deserve special mention for the interest they have manifested in memorizing and dramatizing two scenes of t.he play. Our boys chose the two must famous scenes, the death of Caesar and the speeches of Brutus and Anthony. The various characters were vividly portrayed by the individual boys, and along with a few extra credits, the young actors received an enthusiastic ovation. It is considered a very great honor to be represented in the entertainments or business session of this club, and every freshman has treated the privilege accordingly. Much praise can be rendered them for their ever ready assistance and cooperation with the club oflicers. We also take this opportunity to thank our adviser for her interest, assistance and patience with our club and its members. PATRICIA Htiumm, '33, Page seventy seven

If you can picture Madison without a capitol, or Wis- consin despoiled of its prairies, then you can imagine what Lourdes would be without an orchestra. The first practice in October revealed the keen interest and great enthusiasm of the members of this elite group of students. Two new clarinet players asked to be admitted and were heartily welcomed. The snap and zip with which they played the old pieces, showed that they were in fine trim and ready for serious practice. The Orchestra made its first appearance on Labor Day, when it played at the Church Fair in Walsh. The members were treated royally and their praises resounded for several days following the event. The next momentous occasion was at Father Tulley's silver jubilee when the orchestral proved to he the leading feature at the evening's entertainment. Especially fine were the solos played by John Crignon and Edmond Breault. Throughout the year the orchestra took a prominent part in the debates, rallies, assem- blies and club programs. Each time the hearty applause of the audience showed their true appreciation of music, and particularly of the work done by Lourdes Orchestra. To the graduating members of this organization, the school renders heartfelt thanks and congratulations. EDMOND Bm-:AUl.1', '3l. Page seventy nmv
