Eflw Qlee Club 1 Seniors of 1945 leave Saint Barnabas with but one regret. In 1941 ' we entered the Freshman class and promptly joined every possible organi- zation and club, thus becoming true Barnabites. It was not until our last year, however, that a Student Glee Club was formed and, although we were to par- ticipate in its activities for only one year, many Seniors hastened to be auditioned by our leader, Miss DeNegris. The list of those accepted finally arrived and Dorothy Emanuel, Anne Marie McNiff, Grace Altritt, Audrey Gilligan, Dorothy Thedinga, Joan Daly, Dorothy Quinn, Marjorie Falconi, Betty Pence, Muriel Whelan, Grace Connolly, Jane Redmond, Domenica Raciti, Mary Bruno, Mary Caparelli were among the Seniors who immediately began their choral work in earnest. Our debut was a joint Dramatic and Glee Club entertainment held on January 28th. Although there were only eight weeks of preparation, our ren- ditions of Danny Boy, My Hero and The Rose Tree were well received and the Glee Club was on its way to success. As St. Patrick's Eve approached once more the girls became engrossed in rehearsals for we were to be one of the features of parish night. Under the capable direction of Miss DeNegris the Glee Club will soar to newer and better triumphs. Before we leave we would like to thank Sister Joanna, our Moderator, for her patient and kind interest in our association. We hope you will miss the Senior members, for we shall miss the rehearsals and entertainments that made our last year in Saint Barnabas a very happy one. JOAN T. DALY. 113
