A LOVER'S QUESTION--True romance blossoms despite many problems and questions. Cordy tFrances Lyons? questions the proposal of marriage from her lover, Angier. Mr. Drexel, however, is all for the idea. 3 I cu A. .pw . ag 5' f' ydrv 1 --ss-N The Monsignor Bonner High School Dramatic So- ciety is the oflicial name of one of the school's largest activities. Behind this eoldly formal title stands a veritable army of fun-loving students, supported and supervised by a goodly number of faculty members. Combine the acting talents of Bonnermen with those of girl students recruited from nearby schools and add the touch of an efficient stage crew, and you have the winning formula that has netted success to the club's many endeavors. During the course of its existence, the club has de- veloped and matured, each year taking ever greater strides towards theatrical success. The size of the audi- ences indicates the enthusiasm which greets each pro- duction. ' EEK, A REl'TlLE, screams l.ois i Grayson as she spots father's newest pet. Mr. Drexel's insistence that alli- gators are fun is no consolation. f MY HERO - Love conquers all as J Cordy tlssy Mr-Keonl embraces An- ' gier Dukes and gives him a surprise usmackf' Having presented several comedies, the group showed its versatility last year in the presentation of a Passion Play, which, even in this atomic age, remains the greatest drama of all. Each year, the work of a notable playwright is sc- lected and then transformed into a Bonner stage pro- duction. Between these two actions lie endless hours of memorization, practice, adaptation, set construction, electrical work, rehearsal, publicity, promotion, and just plain work. This ycar's musical variety show brought to the fore a fund of seemingly limitless talent upon which the Dramatic Club can draw with profit in the years to come. 'Y rl 2:-3: '54 5' 's 2 ,Tr s
