w 3' DAK BPS Children 's Theafre Comes fo McNamara BPS The Drama Club this year was one of the most active organizations in the school, the fruits of its labor seen in several productions which comprised a potpourri which appealed to all ages and interests. The first of the Club's performances was a highly successful Children's Theatre production of the fairy tale Snow White in December, followed by an enactment of The Emperor's New Clothes in February. These Children's Theatre presentations proved to be doubly rewarding, as they both provided the very young with the opportunity to witness a live dramatic production and also gave the actors great personal satisfaction in performing for such a captive audience. The Drama Club also competed in the All-City Drama Festival in May and helped the Senior Class presenting Thornton VVilder's Our Town in April. All in all, members of the club afforded both themselves and the rest of the school with a unique cultural experience.

C ulfure ond Scholarship Broaden Horizons In September the members of the National Honor Society decided to work towards a long-range goal: the establishment of a partial scholarship to McNamara to be awarded to an incoming freshman. Throughout the year the Society sponsored a variety of fund-raising activities to finance the award, such as candy cane sales at Christmas and a Valentine's Day raffle. Other activities included student exchange programs with other high schools and the twice-yearly inductions of new members. All of the Society's activities were geared to suit its purpose, which is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in all students of Bishop McNamara High'School. 38 DAK BPS DAK
