CHRISTMAS Christmas spirit finally came to all students of By- ron High School. Some of the clubs had parties and there was the traditional concert the last day of school before vacation. This year there was plenty of enthu- siasm at Christmas as we anxiously awaited the much wished for, BROWN Christmas. The aluminum tree was assembled for another year and those gaily deco- rated but empty boxes were placed at the trunk. As a special present, we moved into the new section of the building on the first day back from vacation. What's the matter, Julie? Doesn't anybody want your lunch? Playing Je gagne at the French Club Christmas party. 27

THE MAN WHO DINNER The senior class of 1972 presented their play, The Man Who Came to Dinner on November 19 and 20. Famous playwrite Sheridan Whiteside, the main character of the play, came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley where he tripped and supposedly frac- tured his ankle. Thus, not being able to move, he took over the household, and the action began, including a jealous quarrel between Lorraine Sheldon, a rather forward actress, and Maggie Cutler, Mr. Whiteside's private secretary. A Christmas radio broadcast from the living room also proved to be lively and quite amusing. The play was directed by Miss Kathy McLennan. CAME TO But Mr. Whiteside . . .

It was an excellent year for the Speech Club--they proved that you don't have to be from Boylan to win. Yes, it was a winning season. The speech team even won its own meet here in Byron after competing with eleven other schools. The team's total of 168 points just edged Boylan's 165. Two contestants went to compete in the state finals. Sara Hamer competed in original monologue and Terry Dyer in prose reading. Placing seventh out of twenty schools in the Ro- chelle Invitational meet, the team was quite happy with their successful day. But alas, the majority of the members this year were seniors, which means next year's team will be lacking. Why don't you, the reader, go see Mr. Mc- Names, whom the team fondly referred to as Dad. I'm sure there is an event that is right for you. FRONT ROW LTO R: D. Cacciatore, O. Oration; D. Leary, Radio; M. Eickert, O. Oation. SECOND ROW: J. Storz, Oratorical Dec.; J.
