THE lilit llllllt At Graduation last year, the Glee Club made a great hit, and, as soon as school was recommenced, work was begun to make it even better this year. However, boys must be growing up more quickly now-a-days, for sufficient Sopranos and Altos could not be obtained and the Club had to convert into a men's choir with two Tenor and two Bass sections. About twenty freshmen f of the larger varietyl were drafted to complete the sections which now contain a total of sixty members. Their first attempt at fame was at the Christmas Concert where they presented a cantata, The Song of Christmas, arranged Front Row, Heft to rightl: Iames Hayes, George O'Neill, Kasper Mannix, George Andreu, Donald Ebbecke, Iohn Corr, Iohn Walsh, Vincent McGurk, Iames Lynch, Den- nis Mahoney, Edward Martinez, Vincent Histon, Charles Powell, Charles Scott.

Solos, Quartets, and ensembles were sung by various groups, and were so well received as to encourage them to still greater efforts. Immediately after Christmas, the Music Room and Auditorium became the scenes of feverish activity and somewhat melodious sounds at Activity Period. Every day became a Grand Night for Singing. Plans call for an entry into the Catholic High School Festival in April, a Spring Con- cert in May, and Graduation in Iune. Prep- aration for these important events will take all available time for the next few months.

CAMERA ClUB The success of every school paper and yearbook depends largely upon the capabili ties of the camera club. One of the reasons why the Founder and the Edmundian have such appeal to the students is the pictures they contain. Many of these pictures were taken and developed by members of the Camera Club. This valuable activity is under the careful supervision of Bro. E. McEnroe and consists of a small, but skilled number of stu- dents of photography. At any track meet or baseball game you are sure to find a member of the camera club with his trusty camera. The Rice darkroom is fully equipped and has modern facilities for developing, printing, and coloring photos. During the vocation week, the camera club displays its beautiful collection of pictures taken at the West Park Novitiate. SPA ISH P PER Oye organ of the Span sh Department at Rice has received commendation from several educational sources throughout the City Professor Velez head of the Depart ment has instituted this periodical to bring home in a more forceful manner to the Stu dents in his Department the complete un derstanding of the culture of the Spanish Language. Edited and published by the Spanish Club under the Professor's super- vision, this school activity has been instru- mental in arousing a greater interest in a great language.
