The Shamrock The Shamrock up until 1939 was a bi-annual magazine. From then on it took on the character of a magazine and yearbook combination, featuring some class shots and a Senior section. In 1945, after two years of war restrictions, the Shamrock again made its appearance, this time a full grown Yearbook. It is now the CHI-RHO. The school paper first began as a mimeographed News Sheet . Later on while still keeping the same form, it increased in size to a two fold paper also called The Shamrock. In 1945 it took on an entirely new face and name. It was now known as Pat Talk and was printed by Richard Larson of St. Patrick's High School. With the change of the school's name our bi-weekly news organ is now known as the King's Chronicle. Both of these publications have received All-Catholic and All- American ratings for excellence. st pgv-- 0 M. Goethell, R. Larson, R. Flynn, M. Couture, G Flynn, J. Bertie, R. Catan, R. Cary, P.

Our First Vocal Groups The Girls' Glee Club composed of forty- four members under the direction of Sister Alice Rita, and the Boys' Glee Club composed of thirty-two members with Father Dowd as director, were the first high school vocal groups at St. Patrick's. The study of Gregorian Chant formed their principal work, and much time was given to the learning of four-part choral numbers. In the course of time these groups were combined to form the mixed chorus. Mixed Chorus K Qs., i .I K ...M . , W . 0 Our first group to appear on a weekly broadcast over WEAU, V. Rafferty, G.

m y i ll , LJ. J ff f l f Soclality The Sodality of Our Lady formed the nucleus around which all the activities of the school centered. Re- ception of members took place annually on Dec. 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception. All met in the school before Mass to receive their badges. From there they went to church, attended Mass and re- ceived Holy Communion. In the evening they again assembled in school and marched over to church where new members were enrolled. Delegate students and faculty members attended Leadership Confer- ences in various cities and then reported back to the student body grouped into various committees. The school paper dated December 'l8, 1933 stated, The third Council meeting was called to order Nov. 28 by Father Brady. Reports on the work completed by the different Committees were given. 0 The Sodality of Our Lady 1933, and the Living Rosary.
