Fred Wiener plays postman and fills a mailbox with festive presents for the display case Christmas decorations. Reflections September arrived and we came back to a smaller quad and some dazzling new buildings. Before we knew it Thanksgiving was here and students gathered for the annual assembly. Three speakers gave inspiring religious messages and the A C.'appella Choir rendered varied musical selections. Christmas followed soon and the school was bedecked with attractive holiday decorations. Art students filled the windows with interesting scenes and the display cases attracted passing students. We looked ahead and counted the days till our glorious vacation. Art students show off their talents by painting holiday murals on the many B-CC windows. Father ODonahughc. Rabbi Scolmc. and The Reverend Charles Rother participate in the annual Thanksgiving Assembly. 20

 Lola wanes you,” say Vicki Tcil, Ana Sol, and Patii Williams! Make Believe Under Mr. Dalla Santa’s patient direction, deter- inined-to-bc-successful actors presented an excellent drama year. Taming the Shrew, B.C.C.’s first production, gave the audience many new sights, from Pctruchio’s spanking the Shrew to the male actors in short togas! This theatre-in-the-round production was hilariously amusing and all saw Shakespeare in a different guise. The students were so wrapped up in the tragic Glass Menagerie that few noticed the couch when it collapsed during a tender scene between Laura and Tom. A vivacious, enticing Lola and a shy, boyish Joe Hardy held in bond by the cunning Devil Applegate, plus scads of other characters, gave much variety and enjoyment to the hit-musical Damn Yankees. Replacing the Extravaganza, this play was anticipated and enjoyed by the whole school. Senator and Yankee baseball fans alike! The result was a cast of 450. 19

Year’s Features February brought the two Senior Days when Seniors take over the school. The faculty ancl administration released their positions to eager students who kept the classes in constant hilarity. After this experience, the Seniors had new reverence for the teaching career and their teachers who must regularly face what they did for two days. A look at our trophies brings back a flood of mem- ories. Our teams have established a record of which we are proud and we strive to leave with our school an attractive array marking our own accomplishments.
