Under the experienced leadership of Mr. Burke the club learned and mastered many popular and classical songs. Considering the fact that they met only once .1 week they have performed very well. During that time there were some members whose voices were being helped along to a more perfect timbre. These members were Paul Kennedy, Kenneth Scott. and Charles Asche. Much credit must be given to Joseph Salvin, the manager, who planned these informal meet- ings. ln addition to its regular functions, the Glee Club prepared some of its members to walk about the school singing Christmas Carols the day before the December vaca- tion commenced. Many members are seniors who will not be with the Club next year, but en- thusiam of lower class members assures the school of an excellent Glee Club during the next few years.

The very capable and persistent home room treasurers collected voluntary contributions for class dues, activities fees, Year Book and charitable organizations. As all of the treasurers know., collecting money for almost anything on any given day was a very exasperating task. Some of the replies that they got were, All I have is carfaref' or Do you have chinge of a ten? After a lot of begging .md pleading they finally got their contribution. XVhen it was time to collect for the Year Book the trensurers were going .iround to each senior with .1 notebook .md pencil expecting to see the flash of money in their faces. However, all they received was an occasional dollar. Things changed soon, however, when Nlr. l..'lI1Lll'lg.l!1 stimulated the seniors of the class of 1956 into paying for their yearbooks. Congratulations are due from the entire school to this line and courageous group of boys known as the Home Room Treasurers.
