'e is no ian the levoted se of 3 balladS jck l'l3.5 5eaSOIlv by col- ,5 CafOlS ock lm' Mother Mary Bellarmine and Kay Cooney fPresidentJ choose the hymns to be sung at Benediction during Holy Hour. To those students who be- long to the Record Club it seems that it is the most enjoy- able Club on campus. The reason for their opinion is that the only requirement for mem- bership is the ability to sit, to listen and to enjoy good music. A developed sense of apprecia- tion is not required because a student receives that by attend- ance. Mother Mary Lawrence, the Club moderator, succeeds in providing a comfortable and homey atmosphere. A Record Club meeting means a chance to relax, listen and fully enjoy an hour of good music. A branch of the Sodality, the Choir is an indispensable part of the spiritual activities on campus. Wednesday Sodality Mass, Benedic- tion, 'and the Forty Hours would lack much of the beauty they now possess here'at Rosemont without this group. The members spend at least an hour a week in concentrated practice under the direction of Mother Mary Bellar- mine. The Choir not only provides an excellent training for its members, but also a deeper understanding of and love for liturgical music. RECORD CL B Mother Mary Lawrence selects a program of records with Paula Sanfacon CPresidentJ and Grace Howley Q Secretary-Treasurerj . The Record Club meets in May- field living-room for a relaxing i hour of good music. j CHO R The Choir gathers in the auditorium in Good Counsel to practice for Sodality Mass on Wed- nesdays.
