GRADUATE RECITAL On the evening of May fifth, the auditorium was filled to capacity by a most appreciative audience which had come to witness the graduation exercises of the Department of Music. It was the tirst time in the history of the school that a class had been graduatedg heretofore, the students were graduated individually. The program was replete with the most difficult works of the great masters, and in their rendition the young artists far surpassed the capacity for music as presented by High School students. The graduates provoked prolonged applause, and each number brought forth many congratulatory comments. The young artists reffected great credit upon their teacher, whose untiring etforts resulted in the emanation of five young graduates of the school of Music. During the course ot' the recital, the young ladies were ten- dered many beautiful floral tributes. The conclusion was marked by a brilliant address, which was given by our esteemed pastor, Very Rev. J. S. Fagan, after which certificates and pins were presented to the following graduates: the Misses Doris McKenna allfl Agnes McGeehin, and Laurence Farley, pianists, and Messrs.

F, X. who is affiliated with St. Thomas' College of Scranton. Brother John is touring the country, delivering his lectures in various Catholic Schools enroute. His lecture on The Choice of a Vocation, was well received. His work, which is a very noble one, is to help the students to ascertain what work in life has been mapped out for them. He dwelt especially on the higher callings, those of the Priesthood, and the Religious Life. On Friday morning, October 16, 1925, we listened to an interesting lecture delivered by Dr. John J. Corrigan, one of our Medical Advisors. He com- manded the attention of his audience by a brilliant delivery, touching on the discovery of Bacteria by the eminent scientist, Pasteur, and the importance of these tiny organisms. He also dealt with the pre- vention of diseases in general, emphasizing the fact that the prevention is of more consequence than the cure. On the whole, the student body gleaned many points from this lecture. On Tuesday, November 3, 1925, the second lecture of the series given by our Medical Advisors, was delivered by Dr. James A. Corrigan. Dr. Corrigan spoke on the diseases of the ear, nose and throat, their cure and prevention. His address was such that it could be understood by all, and it greatly reflected on the brilliance of the lecturer. ' EnwARn A. LYNCH, '26.
