RAINBOW CLUB Surely everyone remembers the famous Kay and a Ki, Ko and a Kur yell of the playlet that the members of the Senior Library Club presented February 13, at the Bellaire High School Auditorium before a capacity crowd. The success of this entertainment instantly assured the success of the Club. It was a rollicking, two-act comedy, dealing with college life and with a hint of mystery that held one's interest throughout the play. Each member of the cast and the directors are to be congratulated on the success of this splendid performance. The Managers also presented a one-act comedy which portrayed the superiority of the fair sex in the art of managing. Between acts, several very pleasing vocal selections were rendered by the Senior Boys, and a duet by two of the Senior Girls. VALENTINE PARTY Friday afternoon, February 14, the members of the Sophomore Class feted the Seniors with a party held in our Auditorium. The hall was attractively decorated in keeping with the Valentine season. Games pertaining to hearts and dancing were the main diversions of the afternoon. Prizes were won in various contests. Everyone enjoyed the aifair immensely, and congratulated the Sophomores on the wonderful success of their party. -Edna Addison, '30. A VISIT TO ROME The high school was exceedingly fortunate in having an opportunity to listen to Father Hillenmeyer's account of his European travels. He talked rapidly, in fact, he said in one hour what another would not have said in two, but to us it seemed scarcely thirty minutes. Nothing is so mind-broadening as travel, and Father described his experiences so vividly that you could easily imagine yourself with him in Italy, for he spoke most of Italy and Rome, although he also dwelt upon the beautiful scenery of Portugal and the charming picture Lisbon made ! l is m an L :P 3 'U nf U Pl U2 is ! ! i I !

The auditorium was artistfully decorated in the school colors. The majority of the large crowd assembled were occupied for the evening either at euchre, five hundred or bridge. For the benefit of those who could not play cards a tango game was in session. Prizes were awarded to those who held the highest scores. At the close of an enjoyable evening cakes were raffled off, and some who had not succeeded in winning prizes for the games were lucky enough to win cakes. -Josephine Halenar, '30. ARMISTICE DAY On the morning of November 11, .Armistice Day, the High School pupils and those of the more advanced grades were delightfully entertained in the Church Auditorium by some members of the American Legion. The well arranged program opened with a short address by Max Duga, a war veteran. Following this interesting talk, the American Legion quartet came out on the stage singing that old favorite war song, Over There . They gave us other songs still famous and held by many as sacred memories of those lamentable days, among these were, The Rose of No Man's Land, On the Banks of Brandywine, The Old Grey Mare and also K-K-K-Katie. Q The program ended with a very interesting talk on What Armistice Day Should Mean to Us, by John Lavalle, an old graduate of St. John's High School, who has recently been elected City Solicitor. We enjoyed the program very much, and I am sure that everyone present felt a glow of patriotic pride as he came from the auditorium with his mind filled with memories of the awful days of war in which men bravely made the supreme sacrifice for the sake of their country. -Henry Boiarski. SPAGHETTI BANQUET It is very unusual that a team is feted in midseason, but that is what happened to the St. John's squad. To say we enjoyed the banquet is hardly necessary. It was appreciated by each and every player. Everything was fine, everything from the spaghetti to the jokes offered by the speakers. You may hardly think so, but one learns many new things at these banquets. Sometimes the speakers are boresome and long-winded, still 01030 iuimuinioivinil It 1 10101014 1

Incidentally, he gave us the Lisbon idea of Safety First in the way they manage their railroad crossing problems. When it is time for the train, they put down the gates whether the train is coming or not, and they leave them down until the train passes. From Lisbon we moved with him to Naples, where we saw Mt. Vesuvius. He explained that this volcanic mountain can be seen by means of an elevated railroad, but he, and therefore we, remained content to view it from terra firma. From Naples we went on to Rome. Of course the main attraction in Rome was the Pope. Father was fortunate to have seen him four times. He described the Holy Father as a stocky built man not above the height of our beloved pastor, Father Wittman. He painted in words the famous Sistine Chapel and said that he never expected to hear, on this side of heaven, anything more beautiful than the singing of the Sistine choir. He spoke of the fine Mosaic pictures each of which was twenty years in the making. These pictures are so perfect they look like oil paintings until you get very close to them. He also took us through the Catacombs, those vast caves, running for miles under the city. We followed the lighted candles and saw where the bodies of some of the martyrs had been buried in the sides of the caves, and their graves indicated by a slab of stone with inscriptions on it. Then we saw the great procession outside the Vatican after the treaty had been signed between the Pope and the Italian government. With its vivid description and spicy humor, the lecture was one of the most interesting and instructive we have ever heard. -Rose Molli, '30. KILKENNY INN Just two days before the time for the LAMPADIST to go to press, Father Wittman entertained the football and basketball squads and the Junior and Senior Classes of St. John's Hi at Kilkenny Inn with one of the most delightful affairs held this year. Two large busses were chartered for making the seven mile trip. The banquet hall was appropriately decorated with the school colors, and the scene was one that will never be forgotten. Balloons, whistles, paper caps, and various other articles conducive to festive gayety were there in profusion, and needless to say we entered without any coaxing into the spirit of hilarity suggested by these playthings. After romping around to our heart's content, we were led to the tables, where we sat down to one of the most delectable feasts ever served as an athletic banquet. In fact, we sat too long, for no time was left for toasts. In a speech that delighted everybody, Father Wittman spoke of the benefits derived from school athletics, and especially of the beneiicial effects of physical well-being on mental efficiency. Captains for the next year's football and basketball teams were elected, Lombardy being chosen captain of the football team and Hocken- 1 biuiuqboioii 101011 1 1114111 1 1010101111
