Art Club To get ahead in life, one must have an appreciation for the fine arts. Sue LaDuca and Sharon Mandia, President and Vice-President of the Art Club, take time out from their duties to relax and to enjoy a joke together. Senior Art club members Pat Columbus and Jane Dunne rearrange the letters of the art room printing press after preparing posters for the annual drama club production The Swan . The Art club members also make stuffed animals for needy children as well as cultivate their artistic talents. 56

The officers of the Council, who were elected at the end of their Junior Year, have as their aim boosting school spirit in every phase of study and activity. Besides raising funds for the school by selling such articles as candy, shakers, Christmas cards and scented candles, the Student Council introduced the use of winter hats and service pins. These pins were given to the most valuable mem- bers of each club at a special assembly held for this purpose. Through the efforts of all the representa- tives a total spirit of unity was created at the Hill. Making announcements is just one of the many tasks performed by Mary Jane Kehoe. As President of the Student Council, she never fails to inform the students of events taking place throughout the year. Christmas was a little brighter this year due to the Yuletide candles sold by the Student Council. Representatives Janet Patti and Cathy Gillespie try to arrange an attractive display for the scented candles. 55

Glee Club Directed by Sister Imelda, the Glee Club rehearses for their annual Spring Concert. Known for their perfection, the club provides the opportunity for all the girls to sing to their hearts content. Singing melodies both old and new, the club also gives the girls the chance to compose original arrangements. Each year the selection of songs to be sung at the Annual Spring Concert is the main concern of the members of the Glee Club. Sister M. Imelda, moderator, and Carmela Ferrantino, president, seem to have hit upon an excellent choice. The five seniors have achieved, after four years of membership in the glee club, the ability to harmonize not only their voices but also their personalities. Donna Kaiser, Linda Ambrosino, Carmella Ferrantino, Jo DiVernieri, Joan Hamalainen and Sister Imelda do just that during one of their rehearsals.
