Librarian Adding color and music to campus functions, the Flying Cardinal band under the leadership of Paul Lehman has, in three short years, climbed to a place of high esteem in the minds of all who have had the opportunity of watching this organization grow from infancy in to a truly great student activity. Always out in front it has played a conspicuous role in leading the various athletic teams to victory. It has pro- vided many moments of delightful entertainment, not only for us who are connected With the University, but for the residents of the City of Washington as well.

The CARDINAL I936 l06 Harlequins REV. MAURICE OyLEARY, O.P. ...................... Director HERBERT BROWN ............................... Prexz'dem JACK THRALLs .............................. Vire-Pren'dent JOSEPH ANGERS .................................. Secretary At the beginning of the scholastic year the members of the dramatic organization fully realized the diihcult task that lay before them if they were to succeed in staging a production that would measure up to the standard set by uJourney's End and uThe Three Wise Fools . After several months of procrastination and disorganization the club fmally swung into action under President Zeke Brown. For the first time in the history of dramatics at the University, the Harlequins recruited the talented services of several members of the Dramatic Club of Trinity College and in May presented George Kellys three act comedy The Show Off . The play was well directed, well acted, and well received by a most appreciative audience. The initial production under the combined efforts of the two schools seems to have laid a solid foundation for great dramatic productions of the future. First Row: Angers, Brown, Thralls.
