Mar. 7: Father A r t h u r McCarthy launched another r e c o r d - breaking drive for the build- ing fund. April-May: With Spring, the young B. C. H. man lightly turned to thoughts of graduation . . . preparation for finals was almost over-looked in the frenzy of rings, prom- tickets, tuxedos, corsages . . . on three different occasions the members gath- ered for social fetes in April . . . the high- light of these was the Passion Play pre- sented by the capable Dramatic Society . . . in a much lighter vein, we roared with merriment at the antics of '49-ers in the annual Minstrel Show . . . our Par- ents visited with us on still another occasion, their last Night at B. C. H. . . . from that point we looked forward with baited breath to the night of nights, which was scheduled for the Opera House the second week in June.
