The sanctuary choir of ST. Aloysius
Church closed it's season last Sunday
morning at the celebration of the pa
tronal feast of the church and begins its
summer vacation after a season in which
the advance of repertoire and interpreta-
ton has been marked. This brings to an
end the first years work under Mr.
Glenn Ashley, who came from Chicago
last fall to succeed Mr.. Ernest T. Win
chester. Mr.. Ashley is receiving many
concentrations on the results already
achieved under his guidance, the choir
showing a power of expression and
balance and unanimity of tone that is as
rare as it is truly delightful The per-
sonnet of the organization will remain
practically unchanged during the coming
fall and winter, and 1t Is THE purpose or
the choir management to present during
the coming season several programs OF
unusual interest to the lovers OF sacred
choral music. Special mention should be
mede OF the work OF Master FRANCIS

voice next season will be heard in the

mutation period that every voice must
undergo. Others who have done eXceiient
service are Masters Eugene Auldrloge,
