The golden voices of the Power Glee Club, once A again, as in previous years, could be heard echoing Z through the halls of the Academy almost any day after school. The Club has continually expanded, until this year it reached its apex of enrollment, numbering among its ranks 110 students. The members ranged from Freshmen to Seniors. X J Under the direction of Mister james j. Obratka, and the ll moderation of Brother Lawrence, the Glee Club in- creased its already illustrious reputation a lumdred-fold. During the past school year, Power Memorial's choral ensemble entertained at such events as the reception given for the parents of Power students and the Annual Musicale held on May 27. Some of the selections from their vast repertoire which they rendered include You,ll Never VValk Aloncf' Good-Bye Old Paint, The Erie Canalf and The Happy Wanderer. However, the Glee Club, like any similar organiza- tion, was not without its soloists. These included Paul Consiglio, George Taylor, and Martin Cassidy. This year's Glee Club has undoubtedly attained, and even surpassed, the high standard which its predecessors had established. Mr. james Obratlca Director 48

Chairmaned by Dave Morgan, and moderated hy Brothers Clark and Delaney, this group of thirteen Seniors can claim honors for the outstanding success the many school dances have had. NVorking tirelessly and into the night, Morgan, Rowland, Meuger, Bowe and the boys taped, tacked and trucked into position literally tons of Dance equipment. Beautifying the Palace of Muscle for social endeavors is a difficult job, but the Dance Committee was never found wanting. Dance Chairman Dave Morgan happily confers with fellow com- mitteemen Pat McMorrow, Terry Sullivan and john Mouracade. , f mv Dance Committeemen, top to bottom: Terry Sullivan, John Mouracade, Tom Dell Anno, Bob Hoffman, Dan Rowland, Bill Higgins, Marty Bowe, Vin Malafronte, Dave Morgan, Bob W olfe, Al Zammataro, Pat McMorrow, Ed Meuger Vin Malafronte and Bill Higgins enjoy the strains of good music. 50
