SENIOR CLASS PLAY-1927 ' THE ROSARY Based on an Emblem of Purity Oh, memories that bless and burn, Oh barren gain and bitter loss- I kiss each bead and strive at last to learn To kiss the cross, sweetheart, to kiss the cross.

E u lalia Sanford It is with an apology to the Class of 1927, that we insert the Rosary, their Class Play, into our I928 Banner. Time did not permit its insertion in Volume I, but we were determined that so excellent a work in dramatic art should not be lost to the future generations of eager students who will throng the halls of learning, they left last year and we must leave now. It was the Class of '27 who were our inspiration, our incentive to keep up the work' so ably begun by them and we think with pride of the fact that we may tread in the footprints of Alvin Vonderhaar, the perfect clergyman of the C1 C. H. S. stage, Vincent Borgman, the villian, who could not have been better, John Auge, the poor deluded hus- band who found himself and his love before it was too lateg George Schwarzer, the successful suitor par excellenceg Alois Burwinkle, whom no son of the Green Isle could have surpassedg Marie Druppel, the faithful wifeg Marjorie Thorn, the inimitable Kathleeng Eulalia Sanford, the simple but wary Lesura Watkins, and Helen Scholtz, the dupe of the villain and herself a perfect, but unsuccessful, schemer against the lives and happiness of Bruce and Vera Wilton.

Carl Super Paul Albers John Auge Roland Feiertag Francis Resch Bernard Krieger Alois Burwinkel Marie Druppel Angelyn Hesse Marjorie Thorn Verona Heitz When the high-school Dramatic Club of '27 presented The Man on the Box, they proved conclusively that they were equally as good in comedy as in tragedy. The same students who personated the Sacred Characters so dear to every Catholic heart in the beautiful, soul-stirring Holy Week drama, The Up- per Room, forcing tears from the eyes of the audience as they witnessed the Play in awful silence, were able to convulse the lookers-on with fits of merry laughter in this excellent Comedy. Chief of these merrymakers were Marjorie Thorn as the finicky Mrs. Conwayg Paul Albers, the fat French cook who haf come to make ze formal complaint 3 and the hero of the drama, George Schwarzer, whose tragic appearance in the first act was changed by his persever- ance into true comedy for him, making it all come out in the end, just as you like it.
