GLEE CLUB During the past year, the Glee Club, one of Cathe- dral ' s most active and enterprising organizations, has risen to new heights of interest and success. Comprised almost exclusively of seniors, club membership is always a coveted goal tor the luiderclassmen. An appearance on the Way of Life program, on Sta- tion WCAE, provided the first opportunity to display the residt of hard vork. This success was repeated a few months later on the Our Government broadcast, over Station WWSW. On March 17, the feast of Saint Patrick, a recital was presented at a meeting of the Cx ' utral Union of Sodali- ties. The beatUy of the selections, plus the deft direction of Mr. Frederick Btickle. marked a new achievement for the club ' s annual record. Spring brought with it many excited whispers and riunors of operetta plans. After much consideration, a two-act comedy, The Rex elation, was selected, and a very wise choice it proved to be. On two fateful nights. May 5 and (i, amid frantic prima-donnas and bustling stage crews, the musical was staged. Two long and tedious months of |jractice had not been in vain. — the year ' s main event had met with heartiest ap|)roval. Jinie heralded the Hnal appearance of the choristers as they sang in unison for the last time, their gratluation Mass. Hearing the graduates, one could not help but feel that this was indeed an appropriaic ilianksgiving for a year of work well done.

To Jesus TliroitgJi Mary, the So- dality of Oin- Lady has completed a niosl successful year. The variety of projects sponsored by the Sodality this year brought abotit a more lively spirit into ilie meetings than there has ever been beiore. Through the work of the members of Our Lady ' s C ommittee, the socialists have actpiired a deeper realiza- tion of the significance of the feasts of the Blessed Mother. Becoming mission conscious, the sodalists eagerly collected stamps, newspapers, and magazines for the mis- sions. In December, we entered into the Christmas sjiirit by taking care of many needy families in the parish. In December, too, we inaugtnaled Mission Day. Each Ved- nesday, every girl contributed to the Mite Box, the total being sent to the Missions of the Sisters of Mercy in Puerto Rico. The Apostolic Committee was responsible for accomplishing this fine work. The Publicity Connnittee provided a medium through which news of these activities was brought to the soilalists: the Sodality Bidletin Board was ever alive and interest- ing with its varied posters, and through the jjid lication of the Sodality paper. Ad Jesiim Per Mariam. the stti- dents were informed of the various projects, antl were thus enabled to discuss them more thorouglilv at the meetings. To Father Connate, our Spiritual Diret tor. we proffer our sincerest appreciation. Through his kintUy spiritual advice and splendid guidance, each girl has Ix-gun to tmdersland more fully wliat it means to be a Sodalisi ol Mary, DoR(rllI ( M nwi ' i I . ' 12

The program came to an end with the singing ol Iji Marseillaise. In December, Le Cercle F ancais held another meet- ing, which was presided over by Natalie Certo. Members ol the Senior Class discussed the arious phases ol French lile and customs. It is with deep regret tiiai ve relin(|uish our places as members of the French Club. Our use of French will not end in June, for we feel sure that it vill be a great help to us all through life. We know, too, that after this war is over, French will still be the language of diplomacy.
