QUARTET THROUGH the earnest endeavor of Mr. Greif, S. J., coupled with diligent effort on the part of the hoys involved, the Seattle Prep Quartet has endeared itself to the hearts of its listeners. On many occasions the quartet has stimulated a higher pulse into Prep entertainments by its harmonious lyrics—old and new, classical and modern. In the category of performances were those given at Saint Vincent's Home, Saint Leo's Parish, Tacoma, and Forest Ridge Convent. Especially noteworthy was the program given during the Christmas season with the production of A Christmas Carol. The quartet's inter' pretation of the Winter Song, also, met with whole-hearted approval. Wherever it went, the quartet was greeted with warm appreciation and vigorous applause. Besides Mr. Greif, the personnel included Bauer, Breen, Campbell and Skinner. ORCHESTRA I “'HE school orchestra, under the capable direction of Mr. Greif, S. J., was a welcome addition to almost every important event. Organized and directed by Mr. Greif, it rendered many services to the school and College. Among its members were Terhar, Read and Canney, violins; Conley, trumpet; Kennedy, trombone; Kearny, accordion: Donohoe, Burton and McChesney, banjos; and Sweeney, drums. These students turned out faithfully for every affair, and their music lent color to many programs. Many times the school assemblies were embellished by its appearances. At the Prep plays, also, the orchestra was pleasingly present. When the Very Rev. Father Provincial visited Seattle Prep, the orchestra was one of the main features in the afternoon's entertainment. Last, but not least, the orchestra made its appearance to do its bit for the charity entertainment at the Marine Hospital. To the orchestra all the students give their thanks. CAMERA CLUB HIS year found a new club organized within the walls of Seattle Prep. The Camera Club, founded by Mr. Nealen, S. J., became famous for its sleuthing amateurs who caught teachers and students in most unbecoming poses. In existence only during the second semester the group progressed rapidly through the different methods of developing, printing and enlarging. Their works of art adorn the snapshot section of this book, and many albums are replete with pictures of unaware freshmen, sophisticated sophomores and grave upperclassmen. Recruited from all classes, the members have gone in for a life “in the dark. Mr. Nealen's renowned developing room became the central focus of their activities. While he lent his experience to their eager curiosity, the phenomena of working in the dark finally came to light under the influences of hypo and acids. Although some of the class may not go in for picture developing as a hobby, all have come through with the realization, at least, that they know what happens when they are told to “look at the birdie.
