FIRST PLACE IN THE BOYS' DIVISION in the annual C.Y.O. Talent Show, held for glee clubs of the diocese at Seton Hall, March lO, I963, was won by our boys. Ave, Ave Maria! Seton Halll All for One HERE COME THE BOYS! 1'Breath-taking exclaims a lady in the front row. Others are waiting for their boy to appear for the first time in his formal clothes as a member of Seton's Glee Club. Supported by the strong senior basses and baritones, junior leads and sophomore tops, the 1962-63 product of Father Govern's patience and the Blessed lVlother's intercession has been more than successful. Created last year out of nothing but the undeveloped voices of the Seton Hall boys, the Glee Club has grown from last year7s roots into a beautiful blossom. Daily practice sessions helped the Glee Club to master over fifty songs. They sang these for many audiences, including over two thousand five hundred people at Walt Whitman Auditorium where they sang a joint concert with the Saint Brendan's Girls, Glee Club. Every difficulty was overcome by Father Govern's arrangement, ingenuity, and general finesse. The highlight of the year was the C.Y.O. champion- ships, held at Seton. Their exceptional uniforms, stage deportment and staging ability earned the boys 273 points out of a possible 300 and the championship. Though Father is losing thirty-six talented basses and baritones because of graduating seniors, he still looks with enthusaism to the underclassmen in hopes of be- coming a 300 club.
