'TBI Boot and Buskln 41 Q-ua Once again immortal Caesar lay bleeding at the foot of Pompey's statue and, while the terrified crowd looked on in horror, the men of Rome proclaimed their glorious deed. XVith the re-enactment of this assas- sination scene the Boot and Buskin Dramatic Guild fulfilled again the prophecy of the treacherous Cassius and, with realism and finesse, presented Shakespeares jnlinr Cfzemr. However, this was not the first produc- tion of the Guilds 55-56 season The Auction, a one act prize winning play was presented at the State Fair, and a Eugene McCarthy original, XYfomen Never Do, sparked the entertainment program for the Freshmen during Orientation Week. Also, as is its policy, the Boot and Buskin gave its new and promising members a chance The Cast of Julius Caesar .1 4 f . Y i . - V ix- . 1 If 3 Mr. McCarthy-Director 1495. 1- ,,. 41--1' Fr.

The annual jesuit Drama Festival was held in February in Jersey City. This festival gave the group an excellent opportunity to get the feeling of being on the road and to learn how to cope with unforeseen dif- ficulties of production. Though long hours of tedious rehearsal and scenery work go into the making of a good show, an extraordinary club spirit and a genuine interest in the work make the time spent seem negligiable to the Boot and Buskin members. Numerous parties and a formal banquet in May balance the hard work and round out the activities for the year. l Ci f- PN ' 1 Y 5. i Y 3 v 1 O. it l--f l 'v -f fl X l ... . :lf-l - -Leu, , -1:-1 HT V , .ri Casting the Show Early Rehearsals ..............

Once again the Chaumonot Forum put in an active forensic year. Built around veterans from last year and augmented by a group of promising Freshmen, both the debate and discussion groups exchanged views with students from all over the country. As far North as Vermont and as far East as Boston could be heard Chaumonot's views on the national topic, the Guaranteed Animal Wage. Under the able leadership of Delores Grabowski, Chaumonot's president, the debaters scored impressive wins at Hamilton, Geneseo, Vermont, and Boston. At the St. john Fisher Tournament in Rochester the group walked off with the first place trophy, thereby proving themselves to be a power among the debaters in the central New York area. The local group was also active in arranging its own tournaments. Debate forums in the area were invited to the Annual Le Moyne Tournament in April, and the Annual Prize Debate offered Le Moyne students a chance to compete among themselves. ' Much of Chaumonot's success is owed to its moderator, Father Carmody, whose patience and coaching gave the members a sound forensic foundation. The Forum as a whole should also be congratulated, not only in so far as forensic activities go, but also for the wholehearted cooperation of the individual members and their extraordinary club spirit. The united effort of the group made possible the success of both their annual dance, which was one of the highlights of the fall social season, and the annual banquet in May, which officially climaxed the year's activities.
