Our hats really do go off to the young lassies ot the lantern dance in Hats OH ot l945: Ann Sieratowicz, Rose Mary Ulewicz, Mary Jane Wrob- lewski, and Marcella Kapsa. The dance was one ot the most pic- turesque scenes in the operetta. I During four years of exist- ence, the glee club has been steadily increasing in number. Last year's enrollment of titty looks feeble along side ot this year's record enrollment of eighty-nine. Three operettas have been the major accomplishments of the glee club thus tar, with a fourth light opera, The Stu- dent Prince , well on the way.

Carmel was toying with the idea of introducing football in the fall of the same year at Mt. Carmel high school. As usually happens in the parochial school system, the main obstacle was finances. Rev. L. Krych appoached Mr. Thomas Watkowski with the idea of getting some men together to raise funds for football equipment. Six young men, namely, Robert Bednarek, Alex Uszynski, John Jacobs, Henry Stec, Frank Wszelaki and Thomas Watkowski formed a committee and sponsored a dance on Sep- tember 22, 1945, netting a profit of S930 which was presented to the Athletic Fund of Mt. Carmel high school. Encouraged by their first success, the committee increased its membership by nine young men-Anthony Siemion, Peter Jablon- ski, Betram Lange, Leonard Kowaleski. Al- bert Hebda, Roman Watkowski, Walter Przy- tula, Steve Tar and Len Stoh-and laid plans to sponsor another success and S500 was donated toward the purchase of a rowing shell and S600 towards the purchase of in- struments for the Mt. Carmel band. Enthusiasm, close cooperation and friendly Pure 5: relationships inspired the first fifteen men to form a club. Thus the present Oak Club was founded on December 9, 1945, with the sole aim of furthering athletics through funds procured by means of various social activities. The first officers of the Oak Club were: Mr. Frank Wszelaki, presidentg Mr. Anthony Siemion, vice-president, Mr. Thomas Watkowski, treasurer.
