EVERGREEN HAMS OFF ON A SPREE Songs, skits and music filled the bill at the annual fall production of Loyola Night. Written and directed by emcee George Herman (above), the zany show kept the audience laughing for two hours and concluded with a dance. Left, top to bottom, ' ' Somebody Lied ' to Dave Maguire and he told about it in blackface. Two old troopers. Bill Mullikin and Jerry Kimmett, brought the house down with their song and dance act. The Lazy “L” Ranch Boys presented a typical television hilt-billy skit. Tom Rodney sang This Nearly Was Mine ' ' and Thine Alone, and Dick Coleman crooned his version of Again. Below, At Jotson sang again under the guise of Robert Patumbi ' s make-up and motions. Other feature skits of the show were the Ballet De Ruse, The Stupid Prince, and Ze French Can Can.

REV. JAMES A. MARTIN, S.J., PRESIDED OVER THE RETREAT The next week saw the upper classmen in the pews of the downtown church. The January 1950 Seniors were reg- istered for the customary closed re- treat at ]Manresa-on-Severn, held in December. On October 3, the academic year began in earnest. The Frosh chose Jim Garland as their temporary chair- man and Student Council represen- tative. The Council, itself, elected Edward IcNeal as vice-president; Walter Smyth became secretary: Francis Meagher, treasurer, and James Dietz, parliamentarian. Bertram Mo- rales was named social secretary and Dr. Harry Rirwin was chosen as lay faculty advisor. Tea is served behind the velvet curtain Social activities were enlivened by the reconnoitering expedition conducted by Edward McNeal and Ferd Leim- kuhler into the no man’s land of the Notre Dame campus, which resu lted in the first tea dance, held on the after- noon of Friday, October 14. The Freshman Welcoming Dance the next night was sold out. Loyola made Life magazine in ref- erences regarding Evelyn Waugh. The English novelist had been a guest at Evergreen in 1948. The Greyhound staff edited a page in the Siujday American during the round robin of collegiate coverage. Walter Smyth stepped in as Mendel Club president. Edward Pula was directing campus N.F.C.C.S. activi- ties, and Xavier Trainor was named vice-prefect of the Senior Sodality. The religious group was planning a special performance of Loyola Night for the orphans of Baltimore, in con- junction with the Dramatic Society. Vivisection was the current topic in the printed forums locally when the Baltimore Bees sliced away the Grey- hound’s soccer championship by a 1-0 win. which had been preceded with campus deco rations by marauding Bee fans. A giant tree crashed to earth to make room for the high-steepled Me- morial Chapel. Leaf-Strewn ground was broken for the structure by Arch- bishop Reough on October 9.

LOYOLA RIFLEMEN FIRE A FOUR -GUN SALUTE The Loyola College Rifle and Pislol Club lackled many leading East Coast learns, including Princeton, Penn Stale, and Catholic U. Left to right, the first team gels set on the firing line, with Marion Restiro and Raymond Penn in the first row; behind them are Joseph Bartolomeo, range-master and club secretary, Daniel Downey, and William Volenick, president of the club. Hans Wilhelrnsen is vice-president and F. Neale Smith is treasurer of the fifteen-man organization. The lagging social season slowly accelerated with the approach of basketball season, the Christmas holi- days and the New Y ear. The ads were full of frills for Florida, and registra- tion for post office work was occupying many students ' afternoons. The Eng- lish pound was devalued, and eastern United States railway fares were in- creased. The Student Council objected to the change in exemption requirements from a singular ninety to a flat scale of ninety per cent. Rules for the awarding of five medals were also changed. The curriculum was slowly regaining its pre-war form. The first wall of the Chapel was taking shape five weeks after construc- tion started. Another flight of steps was laid leading from the campus walk to the Dell, to replace the barrelling man-slide formerly utilized by students late for class in 3D. Unprecedentedly fair weather was greatly aiding the construction crews; temperatures in the seventies were sending Weather Bureau statisticians scurrying for rec- ords of past highs. Renowned relic at Evergreen A world-traveling relic of St. Francis Xavier paused at Evergreen long enough for faculty and student devo- tions to be held. Some of those who attended that service heard the last of three lectures on “Atomic Energy and the Social Science” delivered a week later, under the auspices of the Evening School. The lectures were kept timely by the announcement during the succeeding few months of some of the later developments in hydrogen synthesis and of sensational spy trials. The cutting dow n of some of the old pine and other campus trees to make room for Chapel construction was partly compensated for by the experi- mental planting of an experimental seedling of Bartlett blight-resistant chestnut, placed behind the statue of Our Lady of Evergreen. The Athletes’ Fete kicked up the heels of the social season, suitably publicized by photos of biped hoofs distributed by the Block ‘L’ Club. Plans were made for the Junior Prom of the Class of 1951, the first in eight years to be held during the class’s junior year. The Student Council chose eleven students (Emidio Bianco, Edward Clarke, James Dietz, George Herman, Ferd Leimkuhler, Edward McNeal, Francis Meagher, William Mulliken, Daniel Rochowiak, Harry Shock and Walter Smyth) for inclusion in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Uni- versities and Colleges, and finished its work of the fall. A TELEVISION SET FOR ALAN MEEHAN FROM THE STUDENTS SOCIAL OUT-OF-TOWNERS Representing the students of Loyola, left to right, Oliver Krastetl, Martin O ' Connor, Emidio Bianco, Student Council president, Edward McNeat, and Richard Wojtek presented Alan Meehan with a television set which was purchased for him by con- tributions raised in a whirlwind campus campaign. At, Mason-Dixon high jump champion and B squad basketball player, was stricken suddenly with poliomyelitis late in October. He was forced to spend the remainder of the school year in the hospital. The Cosmopolitan Club of Loyola Col- lege entertained members of the Kymry Club of Notre Dame College at an in- formal dance. Left to right are Claire Schumann, Andrew O ' Donnell, Betsy Garrity, and Eugene Corrigan.
