Loyola Nile, One -Act Plays; A Year’s Activity The Mask and Rapier Dramatic Society opened the year with a bang with the presentation of Loyola Nite, the fun-packed annual variety show of the actors. A new twist was added to the program with a skit enacted by members of the faculty entitled “If Teachers Act As Students Do.” Inter- spersed with music, slap-stick, drama arid subtle humor, the show proved to be a howling success. Next on the program of activities by the drama- tists was an interclass competition to determine who would compete in the national Jesuit one-act play contest in Philadelphia. For the first time the actors had an auditorium and stage of their own. The stage is located in the basement of Our Lady’s Chapel of Evergreen. William Volenick served his second term as presi- dent of the group with the able assistance of Vice- President John Kelleher. Joe Serio received the nod for Secretary. Financial chores of the society were again handled by Norman Karolenko. Master ofElectricityEdWatson handled the lighting chores.

Evergreen Annual SPORTS EDITOR SPARTANA, Ad Managers Barto- lomeo and Crouse and Editor Strohecker prepare last minute reports. Getting an early jump during the summer months the staff of this 1952 Evergreen laid the necessary groundwork. Editor George Strohecker and Busi- ness Manager Howie France called together their cohorts in July, rolled up their sleeves and began laying out the annual, contacting printers and dreaming up money raising schemes. Numerous helping hands were handy including underclassmen as well as seniors. Gold stars go to seniors Jerry Murnane, John Crouse, Joe Bartolo- meo, Charlie Connolly, Frank Kaspar, Joe Serio, Jim Golley, Jack Spellacy, Tony Spartana, Will Von Mayer, Jack Seal, Frank Meadowcroft, Bay Thieme, and to underclassmen Neil Hickey, Bill Farrell, Tom Garrity, Carroll Conway and Jack Potthast. Please forgive us if we forget anyone — so many helped. Plaques of special excellence go to Bill Volenick, photo editor, and to Walt McCardell. The senior class deserves a terrific hand for its part in financing the Annual. If subsequent classes follow the example of the Class of 1952, all will be well. Thanks everyone!
