spoon River Anthology Cleveland ' s Drama Department outdid themselves once again with their production of Edgar Lee Masters ' Spoon River Anthol- ogy. After presenting it to the student body Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 11-13, two night performances were slated for Friday and Saturday nights. Under the direc- tion of Miss Victoria Francis, Cleveland ' s skilled actors presented nineteen family his- tories, portrayed through individual confes- sions, showing typically frustrated ideas, shameful and disappointing loves, sudden mur- ders and suicides, motivated by the ugliness of their lives. It was a fulfilling experience for all who attended.

The lipofP. To kick off the incoming bas- ketball season, this year ' s varsity team offered a challenge to all Cleveland basketball alumni. The place was to be Cleveland ' s boys ' gym, the date, Dec. 17, the time, 8:00 p.m. The stands, packed with Cavaliers, present and past, rumbled with excitement as the game got under way. The alumni jumped to an early lead and re- tired to the locker room at half time with a 31-25 score in their favor. Our varsity came back fired up by a talk from Coach Malousis, out-scoring the alumni in the third quarter by four points and narrowing the margin to two points. As the game progressed it was evident to all that it would go down to the wire. With less than thirty seconds remaining, ex- Cleveland star, Pat Fisher, popped one in, putting the alumni in the lead by one, ending the game 63-64, in favor of the a- lumni.
