A most popular and interesting event is the pro- duction of a play, and this was especially true this year when eight Hobanites changed the color of their hair to red for their parts in Clarence Day's Life With Father. The period comedy displayed the ingenious writing of playwrights Russell Crouse and Howard Lindsay, the talent of our boys combined with that of St. Mary's and Our Lady of the Elms, and the directing of Brother Jerome Ziliak, C.S.C. Several parts were double-cast, enabling more stu- dents to participate. Taking the part of Father, around whom the entire action revolves, were Dennis Kucler and Ed Flanagan. The loving and unbuisnesslike Mother was played by Delores Adamson. The four growing Day boys were: Clarence C Dennis Glynn, Thomas Spaldingl, John CRandy Hemming, Dennis Sullivanb, Whitney CGlen StalcupD, and Harlan fBill Reinkel. Dr. Lloyd CThomas Yamokoskib, Cousin Cora C Mary Ann Thomasl, and Mary Skinner CSharon QuirkJ were some of the characters who provided the humorous undercurrents in the comedy. Play director, Brother Jerome Ziliak, and costume director, Brother Harold Ruplinger, go over things on hand hack stage.

Work for the members began in mid-summer with research on debate topics and the frequent organization meetings taking many hours of the summer vacation. Preparation for individual events was also begun by students who memorized speeches and different cuttings for the various divisions. Freshmen were quickly brought into the organization at the be- ginning of the year, and lohn O'Breza, club president, gave them many valuable aids to develop their abilities. Mr. Semonin and other members of the faculty often gave of their time on Saturdays, leaving early in the morning, to judge tournaments. The labors of the mem- bers and the fine quality of the organization were exem- plified in the high records of the members in debate and individual events and in the way the reputation of the school was spread throughout the Greater Cleveland area and even to the state tournaments.
