To Cheer fvery lass and lad Next on the agenda was dear Saint Patrick. There was many a tear in the eyes of Newarkites who listened as we sang praises to this dear Saint over our local radio station WCLT. This was made possible by the kindness of Newark High in allowing us to use their regular radio spot Hi Time. The radio tans liked our Mc- Namara's Band and Mother Machree sung by the seniors. The Easter season approached, and after weeks of practice, we were ready to greet the longsawaited occasion with all the ioyousness of that first Easter morn. The song Concordi Laetitia deserved the highest praise, and with the iubilant and much-loved Praise Be To Thee our season of highly praised singing was almost over. However there was still to come the Mel- ody Hop, something new in entertainment. This affair was sponsored by the singers and was to be a combination of talent and fun. Starlets of the occasion were Neil Butte, Joe Donaldson, Bill Marshall, and Bill Tanner. Sharing the spot- light, too, were our president Ruth Denz and those talented sophomores Rita Colangelo and Virginia Radcliffe. Graduation was iust around the corner and this was one time that the Glee Club must sing without their very talented senior members. With the majestic strains of Praise Be To Thee, the Glee Club said good-bye to the class of '5l.

THE GLEE CLUB llrere fs Music in the Air Do-Me-Sol-Do! Voices floated iubiliantly on the air! No, the angels weren't singing in four parts! But the Saint Francis cle Sales Glee Club was having one of its frequent practices for the first important broadcast of the year. We made our debut with the coming of the Christmas Season, when we were invited to lend our talents at the December meeting of the P.T.A. We sang a most successful program in whcih the Christmas spirit was enthusiastically demonstrated in Rudolf, the Red-nosed Rein- deer, Winter WonderIand, and the well- Page Forty-Six known carols. We took this opportunity to pre- sent our mentor, Sister Francis Rapheal, with a bouquet of roses. The flowers showed to some degree how much we appreciated her patience during those long hours of practice. At the Home For the Aged, we were almost snow-bound after a very appealing program which included O Holy Night and the ever- delightful favorite, Carol of the Bells. On Christmas Day we added to the happiness of the occasion by singing Christmas Carols at the Masses in Saint Francis de Sales Church.
