On the opposite pole of existence among the musical organizations at Quigley is the accor- dion band, newest oi the group. Originating in the minds oi Monsignor Meter and Father Mroczkowski, the job of directing it fell to the latter. When the band began its rehearsal sessions on Saturday afternoons, it was still to be proved whether or not this new group would carve its way into a permanent place in the school. But when in May, 1950, the curtain CHOIR LIBRARIANSU -'JIM HERMES AT THE ORGAN opened on the Annual Quigley Concert, the accordion band made its debut and won a spontaneous ovation of approval. With their position as a school institution established, the band has since then grown in prestige and pop- ularity among the students. During Father Mroczkowsl4i's stay in Rome, the band was directed by Father Wojcilf. ln its fifth year of existence, the musicians have gained a remarkable reputation among their more digni- fied conireres in the musical field. Now it is again under the direction ol Father Mrcczlrow- slci. The band prides itself on two outstanding members, ,lames Swaner and John Vlasny, who never fail to win the unanimous approval of their audiences with their solos. THE NIGHT BEFORE THE DAY AFTER Only to the best should the training oi stu- dents ior the priesthood be entrusted, said Cardinal Bourne. This is also true in the teaching oi music. For as the Cure' D'Ars inspired his people by his devotion at the sacred functions of the priesthood, these instructors in church music inspire future priests. The priest must sing praises to God during the ceremonies. He must do this with great diligence and piety. These instructors, selected by the bishop, teach future priests with what devotion they must offer their hearts and their voices to God in the most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice, A SUNDAY MORNING CONCERT
