The lea was pre- ceded by a ]jlay. Find 1 1 ' (Did )t ' o», given by the senior members. It was in French ol course! Following it, the juniors presented the highly amusing, Les Trois Ours. 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.

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.

THE DEBATING TEAM 1942 was an eventful year at Cathe- dral, for among other things, it was the first year that C ' alhedral entered into the Forensic League, and actively partici- pated in the debates. Fhe debaters were selected: six in all, three affirmatives and three negatives. Our afHrmalive speakers were Betty Ahdoney, Eileen HoUihan, and Agnes Meade. The negative team boasted of Kathryn Sherlock, Mary (iie- gerich, and Patricia McKnight. Each team debated its op|josite from other schools throughoui ihc I ' iiisburgli dio- cese.
