His example and wonderful executive ability have borne results far beyond general expectations. This year under Father Lord's representative, Reverend W. J. Donnelly, SJ., of St. Louis, a two-day convention was held in St. Ignatius College in February. Father Donnel1y's aim was to see what the different schools had done and it was remarkable to note the splendid progress of all and the enthusiasm shown. Under the leadership of Elizabeth Silva and the continued co-operation of the other oilicers, the Students' Spiritual Council has expanded and accom- plished a great deal at St. Rose during the past year. With pride it is noted that interest has increased to such a degree that the religious attitude of the members has improved. As this is the chief motive of the organization, we may be gratified at the result. Our members have not only aided the foreign missions but have also fos- tered a spirit of charity at home. We hope that the Council will continue to prosper, Fifi y- four KKWV YWW W W x

GOLD AND WH1TEy3f-e--l- i . i ' v 1- 7 DOROTHY SUTTON LENORE ALEGRETTI ELEANOR BUCKLEY President Secretary Treasurer The Cecilian Club HE Cecilian Club has played an important role this year in the recitals and entertainments which brighten our school term. Besides the regular monthly recitals we have had several concerts sponsored by the Club. The first was the celebration of Saint Rose Day. The program was short but we all appreciated it and were very grateful to those Who made it such a success. To entertain our mothers on Mother's Day, the program included a duo for two pianos played by Mary Merschen and Consuelo Albedi and another by Lenore Alegretti and Vonie Baker. Both were exceptionally well executed. This was followed by Miss Rosalia Voegele's enjoyable concert. Miss Voegele is a pupil of the Conservatories of Stuttgart and Siviburg, Germany. At the request of the faculty Miss Voegele played selections which would give the most pleasure to high school students, instead of the more diflicult com- positions Which she usually renders in her concerts. Her program consisted of: 1. Moonlight Sonata ,,,,,,,,,,t,,.,,,,,,,.,,,.,..,....,,........,,,......,,,,,..,,,,..,,..,. Beethoven Air un Gavotte of the English Suite .,.,,, .. .,,,, Bach 2. Schubert's Impromptu A flat Impromptu G major Mozart's D minor Fantasia 3. Chopin's Prelude B minor Prelude B major Prelude D flat major For encores Miss Voegele played Morning and Asa's Death from Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg. We were delighted when Mr. Beckett, the conductor of the Young Peo- ple's Symphony, came to tell us about the Wonderful Work which has been accomplished in the past year in San Francisco. He explained the series of concerts and urged a large attendance. During the latter part of the term, the usual concerts which are them- selves an organization in the school, were given. We also provided the music for the Dramatic Club productions. In addition to being greatly indebted to Ruby Layne, our organist, and Gretchen Lins, our violinist, for their music during the First Friday masses. We commend Evelyn Hayburn, Dorothy Sutton. Catherine Lucey, Virginia Flannery and Elena Bacciocco for exceptionally good work done during this past year. Fifty-six
