Several organizations are combined to form the Department of Fine Arts.
They include the Choral Club, the Band, the Concert Orchestra, the String
Ensemble, and the Quartette.
The purpose of the Choral Club is to give interested students an appreciation of the best music. During the course of the year the members rehearsed
and presented on several occasions the Church's music, Gregorian Chant,
and the best polyphonic compositions of Palestrina and other contemporary
composers. The Choralists sang the Mass every Sunday morning end on
frequent occasions during the year when a special Mass was celebrated
on a weekday morning.
On numerous occasions the club appeared at functions carried on throughout the diocese. Occasionally the Choral Club was invited to sing at special
Church exercises at various diocesan parishes. The Choralists also appeared
in all the concerts offered by the Department of Music.
