Dino ' s Plaintive Cry for Help Was Answered Not able to restrain himself any longer, Dino tore into Danny when he tauntingly made reference to the fact that Dino was waiting to see the psychiatrist. Come on, come on, the punching bag ' s home, ' shouted Dino as Papa Falcaro angrily slapped him. Having been sent to a reformatory for partici- pating in a murder at the age of 12, Dino had returned home to find an unconcerned mother, an angry father, a defiant brother and un- friendly peers. Having found it difficult to withstand the icy stares and the cutting remarks, Dino tried to show the world that no one could ever hurt him. With the help of the concerned caseworker, Mr. Sheridan, and his first love, Shirley Wallace, Dino returned to the path of understanding — the understanding of both himself and others around him. Eighteen senior members presented Dino, a three-act drama on February 4th and 5th. Dino was directed by Mr. Lynn Roth with the help of production assistants Diane Timbrook and Larry Scranton. Shirley found out about Dino ' s past when Delia itefully said, Dino Falcaro! I ' m surprised at you Shirley. He ' s a real case surpri: -he ' s even got a record. 12
