Dromotists Stage Mutiny As Yeor's Spring Production A nervous conference between the defendant and his lawyer 0- pens the drama of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martialf' the spring production of Jesuit's Drama Club. The cold, strict world of military discipline was recreated by a cast of 25 Jesuit students. Idealistic young Lt. Stephen Maryk CPete Maddenj had assumed control of the USS Caine when, at the height of a typhoon, he felt that his captain had collapsed mentally. Under military codes of procedure, however, his act appeared to be mutinous. With striking ingenuity Lt. Barney Greenwald CGilshannon Cou- pensj defends Maryk against the self-assured prosecution of Lt. Com. Jack Challee fBill Koenigj. And as the trial unfolds, so do the character defects of Captain Queeg fPete Casciatoj, the tyrannical master of the Caine. Though the program made clear that The Caine Mutiny Court- Martial was fictional, Jesuit's actors brought all the stark real- ism of the courtroom drama to the stage at St. Mary's The court martial represented several tirsts in the plays produced under Moderator Fr. David Olivier, S.J. The number of perfor- mances increased from two to four. The play was Fr. Olivier's first serious drama at Jesuit, and it employed an all-Jesuit cast. The simple setting and costuming of the production focused attention on the characters, which gave the Jesuit student dramatists an opportunity to focus their efforts on the busi- ness of serious and highly charged acting.

Poster Club Builds Enthusiasm, lnspires Jesuit Confidence il is Huge rolls of paper, buckets of paint, and members of the Pos- ter Club dominate the cafeteria almost every night after school. The Poster Club's main function is to create placards advertis- ing games, plays, dances and other Jesuit High activities. Mr. Robert Byrne, S.J., the club moderator, says the purpose of the club is to instill spirit in the student body primarily in anticipation of athletic events. A new activity of the club is the sponsoring of score guess posters for major games, with prizes of one dollar going to the winners. Jesuit's walls and windows would indeed be plain without the work of this club.
