Junior Night Entertainment N March 19th, the Feast of St. Joseph, the Patron of the College, the class of ’29 presented an entertainment, a custom inseparable from the joyous occasion of the celebration of that most honored Saint’s Feast Day. Op- timistically determined to surpass the entertainments offered by predecessors, not, to be sure, by excelling them in abilities or efforts, for such a hope would be presumption, but rather by adopting the easier course of introducing into the program the spice that is variety, the class offered in lieu of the usual orations two one-act plays. The entertainment opened with a vocal rendition of “The White and Blue” by the entire class. Then followed an address by our President, Charles B. Murphy welcoming our friends assembled to be entertained by our efforts, and eulogizing the Humble Carpenter whose Feast furnished the occasion ' for the expression of those efforts. After selections by a double quartette a one-act play, “The Rising of the Moon,” was presented. The cast composed of Thomas Burke, Charles Murphy, Paul Mahoney and James Tackney gave interpretations of their roles appreciated especially by those who, associate with the theme of the play memories of ardent patriots of the Emerald Isle. The college orchestra interspersed the program with a number of classic pieces. Two vocal solos by Thomas Duffy were followed by a recitation, “The Passion of Our Lord,” delivered with all the finished skill of elocution of which John Wilson is the master. A one-act play “A Night of the Trojan War” by John Drinkwater occupied the next position on the program. The presentation of such a play concerning the evil of war was singularly appropriate at a time; when nations are especially, and let us hope not futilely, engaged in planning legislation to outlaw this abomination that has hitherto marked the epochs of human history. The characters! in the play, two Greeks played by Thomas Duffy and John Feeney, and two Trojans played by Addison Clohossey and Edward Ennis, were depicted as deploring a condition which has always demanded that youth engage youth in murderous strife when in the words of one of the characters “nothing should be but scrutiny of life, mating, and building towards a durable fame,” and when rather than engaged in destructive combat “how well might he whose life I stole and I have thriven together conspiring this or that of good for all men.” The play was accorded an enthusiastic reception. The entertain- ment was brought to a conclusion by the singing of the “Alma Mater” by the entire class. Considering the co-operation of those who in innumerable ways helped us to present the entertainment and the interest of those who, prejudiced in our favor, we surmise, by long association, applauded any effort of ours, we gratefully thank all who by direct assistance or by attendance contributed to the success of ' the Junior Night of the Class of ’29. 79 V A
