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.

Bizlineu Manager The Glee Club opened its season early in the Academic Year of 1935-36 by pro- viding the musical background for a number of radio broadcasts sponsored by the Athletic department. When 3, Civic Reception was tendered the former Rector of the University, Bishop James H. Ryan on the occasion of his appointment as Bishop of the diocese of Omaha, the Glee Club furnished the music for the program. The flrst formal concert of the year was held by the Glee Club December 4. The program consisted of a number of semi-classical and classical numbers and culminated in the presentation of a group of numbers appropriate to the Christmas season. The Club began the second half of its season by an appearance on The Church of the Air, Radio program, a coast to coast broadcast. It also made several recordings for motion picture purposes. The club ended its season by presenting its final spring concert in May oEering numerous selections both religious and secular and was the recipient of much favorable comment by the music lovers of the City of Washington. l05

SPITZIG ,,,,,,,,, Managing Editor JAME5E.T00MEY ....... SpomEditor WILLIAM M. ZOEBISCH ,.,,,,,,,.,.,,..,,.,Circulation Editor Nineteen hundred and thirty-five brought with its change in the Managerial Board an entirely new departure in the Tower publication. Dave James set Out to change the heretofore mathematical exactness of umake up. Succeeding in this, he then turned' his efforts to the substantive side of campus journalism. Great stress was placed upon the interest of the readers. Numerous compliments were showered upon the editorial style in which a diver- sity of campus affairs was discussed. Appreciation was also expressed for the intro- duction of Music of the Tower , uBridge and several current events columns. Scoops became a habit rather than oddities as a result of breaks made in the football schedule and, in particular, the Orange Bowl game. The Tower scooped the down town papers on the Bowl game by several hours. The extra edition was issued on a Thursday evening while the news was not published in the Washington papers until the following morning. 'Home-coming was marked by a six page edition featur- ing reprints of outstanding articles printed in the Towers of former years. Perhaps the greatest tribute that has been paid to this student undertaking was made by a well known professor when he said, On Thursday evening the C. U. students think first of the Tower and then of their supper. l07
