A greater part of the success of the Christmas play Bethlehem was due to the earnest efforts of the Glee Club. They sang several Christmas selections and one special number called Daybreak Their musical ability is outstanding when it comes to making a program a success. Such seems the case-almost invariably they are called upon to render some entertain- ment at our weekly assemblies. One of the best programs given by them this year was the Longfellow assembly which was entirely made up of Longfell0w's poems put to music. Their keen perception of the beauty of this art is shown by their utmost endeavor to make every program which they participate in a success. .fx If s Q V ,' -75- lv, ,.. .xx ..,.-,...,, wx? .x X 54 :vb -.. .. .s-., I' x X ff ,ff

The appeal of music is primarily to the emotions and it is through this medium that we shall be able to teach and develop the aesthetic self. impulses of worth will be aroused and translated into action. This is the first claim school music can make. Be- sides this living motive power there are also all the qualities possessed by any other sub- ject that lays claim to education value. This is the justification then of a Boys' Glee Club at Cathedral. They have taken an active part in several Assembly programs. Thomas Higgins delighted the audience on Saint Patrick's Day by his pleasing rendition of a group of songs in honor of That Irish Mother of Mine. Charles Bouchard offered attractive solos in the Bethlehem program. Thomas McGill, Francis Whiteaker, and Francis Bennett were always willing to lend their assistance to the making of enjoyable programs. john Howe, Thomas Manley, and Gerald Schwentskofski will be with us again next year to furnish more delightful programs. rf' -14- , .

The Ghoral Club The Choral Club was organized at Cathedral at the beginning of the second i semester. instead of having only two periods a week, the members meet every morning ' from eight until nine o'clock. This entitles them to a full credit in the subject. The purpose of the club is to give an opportunity to those students who desire I choral training. ln order to develop a permanent interest in choral music, emphasis is i placed upon the singing of good, though relatively simple material. There is also a l great emphasis placed on pleasing tone quality, true intonation, a proper balance of parts, and artistic singing. This course contemplates choral study in groups where it will be possible to pay l attention to voice training and to the development of individual skill in singing. The If only requisites necessary are sight-reading ability, and a singing voice of good quality. If Song is the thing! First, last, and all the time, there should be songs, and then ij! more songs. And where is there a greater opportunity for the singing of good songs, than in the Choral Club of our school? The Sophomore and Freshmen girls practically make up the members of this choral -76- 1, Q' , jig AWS, W i fi! club, although there are a few junior girls who have joined it also.
