Again, during the Christmas show, the orchestra rendered Christmas carols, which were sung by the entire student body and faculty. After this performance the orchestra played for the Bishop at the graduation of the Labor School and again at the dedication ceremonies of the new school. - Due to the lengthy Easter vacation and the coal strike, plus the moving to the new school, it was decided that the concert be left out due to the insufficient time in which to practice. Officers elected for the 1949-50 season of the orchestra were: President, Joseph De Peters, Vice-President, Eugene Grochowiak, Secretary, Richard Walleshauser, and Treasurer, Robert Tierney. Much credit is due Brother Albert and Mr. lngram for their efforts, which made the orchestra the great success it was this year.
