At Christmas, a rendition of Fred Waring's, Night Before Christmas, was splendidly exef cuted. For the Annual Catholic High School Festival, the Club has been preparing such pieces as 'qLaudate Dominumf' by Struebel, The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomondf, Moonlight in Mayo, and I Passed By Your Window.,' Outstanding in performances during the year were John Speelman, Henry McDevitt, Gregory Maguire, and Johnny Howard four talented tele- vision starj. Some members of the Club further showed the versatility of their repertoire by sing- ing a Requiem Mass at St. -Ioseph's Church, 125th St., for the repose of the soul of Reverend Brother P. Ryan, late ex-Provincial of the Irish Chris- tian Brothers, of the American Province. The demands on the Glee Club have been many. Each appearance met with the unstinted praise of its listeners. To Brother Joseph B. Darcy, the very capable instructor of the Club for the excellence of work produced, the Faculty and students are deeply grateful. C. Nlannix, lvl. Teehan, T. Shiel, S.
