With a loyalty rivaling that of the student them- selves, the Brother Rice Dad's Club for another year dedi- cated themselves to labor unceasingly for the benefit of academics as well as the athletics and reputation of the school. Again this year, and for the last time, the Boyis Bowl absorbed the bulk of the fatheris work in the fall. Selling tickets and soliciting advertisements for the mammoth pro- gram, they raised public spirits to flock to U of D Stadium for the annual charity game. This generous organization clustered sizeable funds to equip the schoolys audio-visual room with projectors, maps and other aids needed for effective scholastics, and thus widened their concerns even more on Riceis academic necessities. Since the Dadis Club conception, the members have exhibited selfless determination in raising funds for all phases of the function of a high school, paying for much needed athletic equipment to the school debt. Through such vigilant yet unhindering care Brother Bice w-ill prosper and flourish Linder the stabilizing forces of this organization.

However, their principal work, the Galway Fair, eclipsed all other efforts. Endless hours of planning, preparation and operation donated to the most exciting and most profitable event in the Club's history. Their diligence is evidenced in the success characteristic of all their under- takings, whether soliciting ads, tabulating scores or selling novelties.
