Builders' Exhibits At Christmas time the Dramatics Club presented a play based on the circumstances surrounding the writ- ing of the popular carol, Silent Night. The Chorus and the Band joined in this presentation, entitled The Perfect Christmas Song. David Tessmer acted as the Narrator. Other parts were taken by Andrew Grimaldi, Ronald Sandy, David Stinson, Robert Rogowski, and Albert Endres. The staging was handled competently by Pat Morrone, Anthony Galluzzi, Allen LaVenture, and Thomas Kalarovich. The audience participated in the pro- gram by singing a selection of Christ- mas cc-rols. In April a one act comedy, He Tried With His Boots On, entertain- ed the student body. The leading role of Wilbur Maxwell was played by Ed- ward Jozwiak, whose performances of such roles have delighted McKinley audiences for three years. David Stin- son gave a splendid performance as the irritable Mr. Maxwell.
