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.

Its attractive make-up and well-written articles won for it both the warm-hearted approval of the students as well as the sincere encomium of the faculty. Printed in offset by the New City Printing Company of New Jersey, The Founderw en- deavored at all times to be a worthy product of a Catholic High School. Consequently, the writeups of religious news and activities received emphatic attention. Their prominence in each issue helped give the paper the proper balance and perspective. Moderated by Brother Bellows, The Founder, also endeavored to present a coverage of school news that would appeal to all classes of students. Therefore, a premium was placed upon concise, literary English. Every effort was made by the members of the staff to make each issue not Ohlf' highly readable but also to eliminate completely any evidences of poor taste or immature judg- ment. In this way, the school paper was not only a medium for the dissemination of school news but also a vital educational aid as well.
