is our goal The sounds of '66, particularly those of music, were to the Cecilians and the sophomore chorus a source of hard work and satisfaction. To thc de- light oi the student body, these groups sang at as- semblies and Masses with the perfection of wcll- trained choirs. Furthermore, the music depart- ment presented a Christmas program which left its audience highly impressed. Sister Eugenia Marie, directress, and Kaeren Steele, pianist, examine the accompaniment of a new musical selection. Cecilians practice a difficult piece for a coming performance. The highlight of the Christmas program put on by the Cccilians was a Christmas cantata featuring a living crib scene.
