' That Crazy Cast ' I hope not, Mrs. Drake, shouted Johnnie Sims (Mike Franco) in the play The Boy Who Didn ' t Belong. This is just a mere glimpse into one of the three star studded plays that lit up the 1982 Drama Club Christmas presentation. The play was under the direc- tion of Miss Stanzione, who with the help of Amat Alumni Steve Hector, shaped, blocked, and directed the three plays. The three plays in the order they ran were, The Gift of The Magi , The Boy Who Didn ' t Belong, and The Miracle on 34th Street. The play went well, with only a few minor difficulties. The crowd, (which was good in size) was very responsive to the actors. The antics of John Ni- coloro (Bud) had the audience in hysterics, while The Gift of The Magi captured their emo- tions. All in all the quality of their work and talent of cast, crew, and director are all a credit to the Drama Club and Bishop Amat. But most of all to the audience who helped make the 1982 Christmas production a great success. iJ%m (Upper Right) What would you like little girl?

Memorable Moments . . . The 1982 Christmas Bait was a smashing success in all of its elegance and beauty. Yet, the mood created seemed to carry one back 40 years. The formal attire reminescent of a fancy club where foreign dignitaries met to discuss global events, the piano in the lobby sent-out the sounds of Casablanca across the floor. The couples wandered about, as diplomats waiting to gain admission into an embassy. As soon as the guest book arrived, and the checkpoint was set up, the Bishop A mat Christmas Ball began. By purchasing a bid for 37 dol- lars, you received free soft drinks, hors d ' oeurves, and va- let parking, which left you at the doorstep of the luxurious Anaheim Marriot. Pictures were provided for the couples by Alfred and Fabis Studios, of- (Above Right) Enjoying a memorable evening.

Yet these items only added to the splen- dor of the evening. Beneath the chandeliers that hung high above the dance floor, the couples swayed, jumped and shuffled the night away into a loud oblivion. The music was to a general satisfac- tion, the D.J. playing music ac- cording to which songs got the best responce, which included the Stray Cats Stray Cat Strut and Men At Work with Who Can It Be Now and Down Under. There were relatively few diffi- culties. The students ' coopera- tion with the dress code and the faculty helped to make the 1982 Christmas Ball truly an evening of Memorable Moments of Christmas. 136 EVENTS
