Dramatics Society Success is Miracle” Outstanding achievement of the Masque and Rapier Dramatics Society this year was a whimsical little job entitled “Father Malachy’s Miracle, which was presented at the Maryland Casualty Audi- torium on April 15. Master of miracles in the title role was James K. McManus. Backing him was a heavy supporting cast of clerics, which included George W. McManus, Frederick L. Dewberry, Joseph Smith, and Larrv Knox. Among the non-professionals of the cast were a Brooklyn promoter (Barney Goldberg), a tavern keeper (Donald Schmidt), a floor show manager (Bill Waters), a bartender (Bill Goodwin) and a Bishop’s brother (Harold Molz). Smaller tri- umph of the year was at Loyola Nite when “In the Zone and “The Wedding” won the plaudits of the crowd assembled. DRAMATICS: Sitting — Molz, Mackey, G. McManus, Smith, Mr. Lawton (Moderator), J. McManus (President), Hemelt, Muth. Stand- ing — Miller, T. Siwinski, Arthur, Waters, Galvin, Schmidt, Chart- rand, W. Siwinski. 14

Warfare Entices History Academy The John Gilmary Shea History Academy originally picked the Civil War as its topic for the year’s research, with the intention of concentrating on the role of Maryland as a “border” state which was torn emotionally and economically between the two sides. Once more, in imagination at least, Massachusetts troopers were mobbed on Pratt St., once more the armies of Lee and McClellan collided in bloody combat at Antietam. But, after December 7, the topic of the year shifted from the war between the states to war in general, and soon the hoofbeats of Jeb Stuart’s Maryland Confederate Cavalry chal- lenged the guns of Jutland for acoustical supremacy of the Library Building. And as the Russian horde fought the panzer divisions to a stand- still, the philosophy of assault of Bedford Forrest (“git thar fustust with the mostest men”) was seen to live again. Happy surprise for the Academy was the discovery of Rev. Thomas P. Ward as a spe- cialist on naval history. HISTORY ACADEMY: Sitting — Putterman, Croghan, Father Ward (Moderator), Crook, Jr. (President), Price, McManus. Standing — Baggs, Molz, Connolly, Waters, O’Conor, Pugh, Siwinski, Lawrence. 13

FLYING CLUB: Waltjen, Szell, Hawkins, McManus, Brown. F lying Club Has Wings Clipped After December 7, the winged activity of the Loyola Flying Club was considerably curtailed by the wartime restriction on flying. However, the Executive Board, comprised of Norm Waltjen, Charles Hawkins, and Joe Brown, have found other aeronautical activities to interest them at Curtiss- Wright airport. All three have turned most of their attention to the instruction of novices in the handling of Piper Cubs, Wacos, Taylorcrafts, and other gol’durn contraptions of the same species. Math Club Finds Ciphers Romantic The program of the Mathematics Club this year was a unique schedule, to say the least. In October, President Walter Siwinski 15
