BELOIT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Beloit, Wisconsin Vol. 13 No. 7 April,. 1965 “What about your boast that you could pass her off as a duchess at the Embassy Ball?” asks Col. Pickering, right (Kevin Van Kampen). of Prof. Higgins, left (Mrke Hanish), while Elrza Doolittle (Linda Osborn) listens intently. My Fair Lady Gets Go’ Sign Toke a spectacular musical which has won many acclumations; sparkle it with the best actors and actresses that BCHS has to offer; liven it with the music of the BCHS band. Couple these with stage props, costumes, and a lot of hard work, and you have the great BCHS production of the great musical “My Fair Lady.” After four months of rehearsals, organizing, and obstacles, the sign is GO for the launching of the performances on April 29. Only through the cooperative effort of all those involved will this Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical be a success. Certainly the greatest part of the credit must go to Father Lena- han, the director, who started early in the year to get the play rolling. Linda Osborn, as Eliza Doolittle, Mike Hanish, as Henry Higgens, and Kevin Van Kampen, as Col. Hugh Pickering. ha e put in many hours a night on weekdays and weekends to perfect their roles. They have a difficult task of learning and coordinat- ing their many lines, songs, actions, and dances. All of the other actors must also spend a great deal of time practicing their parts, for the play is only as good as each one of the actors. In “My Fair Lady” there are many people working backstage who receive little recognition, yet without them the show would be impossible. Kevin Darrah is in charge of the stage crew, and Jeff Fuhrman is stage manager. Liz Chamon and Jim West are co-chairmen of the make-up committee, Diane Schaul and Pam Van Landegham are in charge of costumes. Sandy Schultz and Mary Egdorf are student ticket chairmen.

In a kickoff assembly Feb. 23, Mr. George Lepak, Home and School chairman, and Art Kapitanoff, Student Council president, outlined the fund-raising program. Besides soliciting stamps from their homes and other rela- tives, they noted, students could contribute cash. They urged students to make the drive an occasion for personal lenten sacrifice by contributing a share of their earnings or pocket money each week. Each class is also permitted to hold one bake sale to boost its funds. Classes are competing against each other in order to achieve the first prize, a half-day trip to the Wagon Wheel where the winners will have a choice of ice skating or swimming. Second prize will be free admission to a pa rent-student dance in May. The administration also promises a half-day free from school to everyone if the $3,000 mark is surpassed. The competition is being run on a percentage basis. To be eligible for a prize, however, a class must meet a quota equiva- lent to $3 per student. Thus the freshmen will have to donate $400 or its equivalent in stamps. The sophomores will need $340 worth of stamps or money. The juniors will have to scratch up $300, while the seniors must add $350 to the total. The drive officially started March 1, and will continue until the end of Lent. Each Friday Mrs. Charles Petit and Mrs. Eugene Hudson total and tally class contributions. Daryl Van Landeghem A guy with a lot of drive and school spirit is Kevin Von Kampen, president of the sophomore class. Kevin is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Van Kampen and a member of Saint Jude’s parish. In May, Kevin will be featured as Col. Pickering in the play “My Fair Lady.’’ Besides dramatics, Kevin is active in Y.C.S., Press Club, Junior Classical League, and Student Council. Kevin is also active in sports. In his freshman year he was a member of the fresh- man basketball team. As a sophomore, he was a member of our powerful football squad. He plans to continue playing football his remaining two years and shows great poten- tial for the future. Plus the required subjects of religion, English, and biology, Kevin is tackling geometry and Latin II. His grades are good enough to place him on the Honor Roll. Peter Obligato Hove you noticed how diligently the seniors are studying religion this semester? Could it be the marriage course or are they really worried about grades?
