, 1 Life's decisions spring from one's atti tudes. Attitude -building then, is about the mostimportant part of education,and music because of its strong emotional appeal in appreciation and expression is more likely to affect the individual in his life and attitudes than any other studies. The inculcation of a desire for good music in pupils tends to pro- vide for Worthy use of leisure, wor- thy home membership,and good civ ic character. True appreciation of music pro- duces happy individuals Whose many interests in this art provide a keen appreciation of the best which television, radio, and con- cert programs have to offer. True appreciation also instills a respect for music and creates in students a high standard of values--making them sensitive to beauty in all its forms. True appreciation cultivates the higher, more noble part of man--his intelligence,his soul, his natural instinct to- ward Beauty, thus making y A him a whole man--a poten- ' tial seer and enjoyer of the Beauty for life everlasting.

Pon Nw- , '-www ? l Sang az ward 4 ww .... In keeping up the tradition of giv- ing its students awell-balanced high school education, St. Louis has, is and willcontinue to foster a musi- cal program among its pupils . The Glee Club plays the important role of encouraging good fellowship among those who enjoy chorus music enough to take an active part as members and among those who enjoy listening to the harmonious renditions given by such a group. It seems especially fitting and proper that the school should boast of having a well- represented Glee Club in this, our Silver Anniversary Year at St. Louis. Combining sing- ing ability and a love of music, the Glee Club has and will yet f devote much time in preparing the celebration of our school's 25th Anniversary Year. The success of such an organ- ization must be accredited to its director, who has so willingly consecrated much time and effort to make the Glee Club the success it has been. We express our grati- tude also to our devoted principal and the entire faculty who have en- couraged us. To the seniors who have partici- pated, we wish much success, hope and courage in the years ahead. ln the closing words of our school song we sing: We'l1 pledge anew our homage to thee St. Louis High!

Zbzcbzeickazozhaacan The musical organiza- tion this year has been as active as ever under the direction of Brother Ed- ward. The musicians have been inspired by the Maes - tro's sharp beat and his wise selection of music. For the first time in the band's history, the boys have been capable of exe- cuting an eyecatching per- formance on the gridiron. Not only did Brother Ed- ward improve the general ability of the band members in their playing and drilling, but he also increased the number of the band to a to- tal of sixty able and talented musicians. The students may very well be proud of the musi- cal unit this year as they never have been in the past, because the boys have performed outstandingly in whatever event they have participated. Truly they deserve the appraisal of the fans , and of the student body, because St. Louis is always well represented both in talent and in color whenever the band is called upon. Let's get organized, boys . . . Philip Shevenell, Secretaryg Marcel Drapeau, Presidentg Robert Boucher, Vice-Presidentg Robert Boisvert, Librariang Philip Loignon, Treasurer. J'
