Turn-About Breakfast At Midnight Fr. Titus Ludes, President, Fr. Donald Werr, director of Public Relations, and Oscar Hughes, Business Manager, knew how to dish it out. Paul Brown, Administrative Assistant to the President, took students' orders, while Gary Carter, Registrar, and Joseph Quinn, Dean of Admissions, filled the bill Fr. Michael Crosby, Academic Dean, kept the bacon in good supply. 2 2 Mrs. Joan Evans, Assistant Dean of Students, en- joyed the whole show. Portions were never more generous than on that midnight in October when the faculty took over the culinary chores and served breakfast to the students. Serving lines were long, banter was good-humored, food was excellent, and morale, in general, got a good lift. The faculty enjoyed it so much that later in the year, they also served an exquisite sit-down dinner to the students. John Cemech, Director of Student Activities, really became wrapped up in the project.

Homecoming Weekend A Big Success Homecoming Weekend. What a weekend, to say the least. Starting with a dance, based on the fifties, the weekend concluded with the traditional home- coming queen crowning and dance. In between was a concert, including Chubby Checker and the Happenings, and a very exciting homecoming soccer game, with St. Louis University. After the two concerts and a 1-0 victory over the Billikens, the dance couldn't have been anything but fantastic, especially for Vivian Arnold. Viv was crowned the homecoming queen from the six upper-class finalists. The dance was decorated by all of the hall residents, who participated in a wall-decorator contest. With the only lighting being candles and black lights, the gym took on the atmosphere which the planners wanted. l l Students at the Dance, LEFT T O RIGHT, Lee Lupo, Jane Oliver, Hank Zwirkoski, Nancy Maloney and Bob Claes enjoyed the dance and what the evening had in store, fun.

Wait Until Dark Started 100th Season Rick O'Connell, playing Harry Roat Jr., was an outstanding villain. - - - -- - - ----.n----..-71-1-r----..,-vyer--g,f-Y -- -1--.--H -- Quincy College began its 100th season of theater entertainment this year with Frederick Knott's Wait Until Dark. Under the direction of Thomas Nevins, asso- ciate professor of speech and drama, the play told the story of a blind girl whose life is threat- ened by three men involved in narcotics smuggling. Michaeleen McDonald played the leading role as the blind Suzy Hendrix. The young girl, Gloria, was played by Karen Euwer, guest ac- tress frorn Quincy. The villain, Harry Roat Jr., was performed by Rick O'Connell. His accomplices were Mark Donnelly as Sergeant Carlino and Chuck Mc- Pheeters as Mike Talman. Raymond Allen Zan- ger played the role of Sam Hendrix, Suzy's husband. Other members of the cast were Dave Scharn- horst and Steve Wroblewski who were the inves- tigating policemen. Though this was the 100th season, locations for the presentations have not always been at the college. The musicals of the 1940's and 50's were presented in the Quincy Junior High School auditorium. Later productions were per- formed in the old cafeteria, today's bookstore. Finally, the old gymnasium was constructed into MacHugh Theatre. , ...f V, . , Y ' FFT,-:.
