THE CAVALIER ACTIVITIES COOPERATION For many students, school begins at eight-thirty and lasts until two o'clock. For many more . . . Life begins at two! Then there are both athletic and scholastic interests to appeal to many more. Language clubs, literary groups, social activi- ties and athletic teams form the nu- cleus ot after-school activity life. These various interests comprise that intangible something, known as School Spirit. Cooperation has been the keynote in the success ot these extra- curric- ular activities. Through the har- monious relations existing between students and Faculty, the success ot these clubs has spread the name and tame of the Cavalier throughout our fair city. CHEERLEADERS-Carmen Argento, Raymond Osterday, Edwin Hurst, ABSENT-Fred Lange, Thomas Monqan. Ill' 7,'l'r'lT'l'

Pagr' l anV!1't'r1 THE CAVALIER SEATED-J. Flynn, J. Crosby, R. Birkmeyer, J. Kapier. STANDING-R. O'Brien, T. Martin, W. Adelsperger, J. Shea, R, McDermott, J. Malone, H. Copier, .l. Byrne, N. Gaesler. Howard Copfer lLord Fancourt Babberlyl, who played the leading role in Charley's Aunt, made the show a dramatic success. His impersonation of the substitute Charley's Aunt was one of the best bits of acting seen on local amateur stages. The two college students, Neal Faessler Hack Chesneyl and James Crosby fCharley Wyke- CHARLEY'S AUNT haml, portrayed the lives of Oxford students with professional skill. Their girl friends, Joe Kapter fMiss Verdunl and Ray Birkmeyer lMiss Spettiguel, played their parts with the natural ease that shows much practice. .lake Malone fSir Francis Chesneyl impersonated a real father, while Joe Byrne fStephen Spettiguel proved a very mean uncle. Some thought that Roger McDermott fBrassettl stole the show with his marvelous interpretation of the wise but humorous butler. Bob O'Brien fFarmerl, .lack Flynn fMiss Delahayl, Walter Adelsperger lDonna Lucia D'Alvadorezl and .lack Shea fMaudl were valuable assets to both the sincere and humorous sides ot the play. Senior members ot the cast are: Howard Copier, .loe Byrne, Jack Malone, Roger McDermott, Bob O'Brien, Stage Managers, Tom Martin and Joe Cregan, The success of Charley's Aunt is due chiefly to the untiring efforts ot Father Seitz and his able assistant, Brother Rus. Through his unfailing interest and his ability to select an all-star cast, Father Seitz has again presented a hit.
