Glee Club The “Stephen Foster’’ operetta proved to be an important event in this year of the Glee Club. Several members of the club were featured as soloists, namely; Gene Beber, Theresa Muzzillo, Ella Nora Wilondek and Mary Muzzillo. Some songs especially favored by the students were ‘“God Bless America”, “I Am an American”, ‘Defend Your Country’, and various college songs. Ellen Miceli, an excellent pianist, served as accompanist. Mary Catherine Mezydlo Helen Dunham This year, 1940-1941, has proved to be one of the most profitable years in the history of the Busy Bee Club. Outstanding among the year’s events are: the Initiation, the Thanksgiving Buffet Supper, the Christmas Party, and the many school dances which were made successful through the efforts of the various chairmen. Credit should also be given to Collins Redmond, Jerome and James Steigmeyer for furnishing music for these affairs. Besides these many social events, the business ventures, held to raise funds for the church, such as the one-act plays, noon lunches, card parties, candy sales, and the bazaar were profitable due to the patronization given by the parishoners. During the first semester of this year, Jerome Steigmeyer presided as presi- dent; Paul Anderson, vice-president; Mary Catherine Mezydlo, secretary; and Beverly Clark, treasurer. These were succeeded in January by Mary Catherine Mezydlo, president; Paul Johnson, vice-president; Nicholas ae secretary; and Charles Mansfield, treasurer. Mary Catherine Mezydlo Helen Dunham

Reading from left to right: Ella Nora Wilondek, Eugene Beber, Jerome Steigmeyer, Joan Simon, Howard Seifert, Theresa Muzzillo. Class Play The seniors of ‘41 chose as their class play, ‘Have a Heart’, a comedy play in three acts. The play was a very difficult one to learn and required much time and studying to perfect it. Eugene Beber played the part of Ted Watson very well and took the part of a troubled man as if he really were. The part of Peggy Watson was played by Ella Nora Wilondek. She won the heart of the audience by her devotion to her husband and by her forgiving manner. Theresa Muzzillo took the part of the charming neighbor of the Watson's, Lou Mansfield. She will be remembered by her teasing manner throughout the play. Bo Larson, a substitute butler, was played well by Jerome Steigmeyer. His saying “I says, says I|”’ will not be easily forgotten. Joan Simon gave a good performance as Fritzie Vining, a slangy little red head. She interested the audience by her pert and gay ways. Mark Andrews, a successful business man, was played by Howard Seifert. He acted his part well and can be remembered by his feelings towards Lou. The entire cast enacted every part well and the class play of '41 will long be remembered by those who saw it. Howard Seifert
