Mr. F. Cirillo is the director of strings. Orc A 05 t P11 Co-operation pays off is the motto of our orchestra, which causes the Sem's halls to re- verberate every Wednesday and Friday after- noon when it gathers, forty-five strong, for its bi-weekly practicing session. The big guns fire away and under the guidance of Sister Grace Xavier and the capable baton of Mr. Salvatore Cangelosi, the girls rehearse the selec- tions they will render on such occasions as the annual concert, commencement, various assem- blies and the Oratorical Contest. This year some of the girls put their musical ability together and formed the S.A.S. Combo which was sur- prise entertainment for the student body at the Holly Hop and the Senior-Frosh Party.

Under the direction of Sister Grace Xavier, the girls with their black folders and pencils assemble in the auditorium promptly at two forty-five. Mr. Salvatore Cangelosi provides the accompaniment. After a general practice, the girls are grouped according to parts and over- flow those large closets on the second floor to continue their work. Each closet comes com- plete with one piano and a chair. The more trying the conditions under which they work, the more the student body seems to anticipate their formal appearances.
