bi f ni 'ht in the lives of the Hrst- ear Michaelmeng fa iw Y it was the Frosh night to howl. As we mentioned previously, the Freshmen class was loaded with talent, so a hilarious Skit Nite was uredicted. l Under the direction of Ed O'Gorman the Frosh lived up to their press notices by producing a hne show. A continuous How of entertainment kept the audience laughing most of the evening. The array of performers who contributed their service is too great to attempt to enumerate but especially humorous was the satirical portrayal of the Dean of Men and the close shave given by the Barber Shoppe Quartette. On December 4th, the Knights and Knaves again stepped to the fore by bringing to Austin Hall Blanche Yurka in her One Woinan Thea- tre . Miss Yurka presented famous scenes from famous plays, all the way from Aeschylus to Ihsen, turning in an excellent performance before a rela- MICHAELMAN hianaging Editors: -lerry Healy, Bob Flanagang lfditorial Board, Dan Allieri, Buck McMahon, Dick jakobow- slcig Art Editor, Art Fraserg Sports Editor, Tony Cauley.

Professor Burke's well- drilled group rendered the traditional carols beau- tifully and received the plaudits of the assembly, Immediately following the concert an informal Christmas dance was held. The Christmas spirit and the anticipation of the two weeks' lay-off made the dance the most joyful, if not the most decorative, of the year. QThe girls were decora- tive. I meant that Austin Hall looked like Austin Hallj Cares were all forgotten in order that cheer might reign supreme. The Glee Club Carolers also toured the cam- pus, serenading the dormitories and the Vets' apartments. fNumerous infant voices here swelled the chorus to almost double its original strength, and we might add that several female voices joined in.j It was a very nice gesture by our troubadours and they were instrumental in spread- ing the line spirit and good cheer which pervaded the campus. Wlioa, there! Let's go into reverse for just a minute. The Senior Ball! Boy, if that ever got left out! 97 Well, December llth, one week before the Christmas vacation, the Seniors pitched a ball in Austin Hall. With the aid of all john Bucharfs carpenters and a sixty-three-foot bull whip they got the place decorated. Austin Hall really took on a new look, or perhaps I should say an old look, for the theme of the dance was very appro- priately that of the Forty-Niners' after the fashion of the never-to-be-forgotten Soph Hop thrown by this same class. fHow about those holes drilled in the floor of the gym, Fr. Stankiewicz?j The colors chosen by the Class of l-49 for their last social gift to the rest of the student body were black and white. In order to break up the bleak- ness of Austin Hall, black and white streamers were stretched across the hall just above the heads of the dancers, and the dance hall was cut off from the rest of the room by cellophane curtains decorated with covered wagons, six-guns, skulls, cacti, and other silhouettes typifying the gold rush theme. To add to the realistic appearance, each table was provided with a candle stuck in the neck of a dusty old liquor bottle. fThe Class of '49 would like to take this opportunity to thank
