Dramatic Society For its fifty-ninth year of existence, the Dramatic Society, which is the oldest extra-curricular activity at St. Joseph's, presented Almost Summer. Under the guidance of Brother C. Clement, Moder- ator, and Director Mr. Hal Mordaunt, the three act comedy was presented on Thanksgiving Eve in Klein- 5ERCUf M, hans Music Hall. The story itself was concerned about Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and Paul, the eldest son, who was confronted with the problem of graduating. He crammed for his history exam with a crony, Jack, so as to go to the lake with Jane, his sweetheart. After many hilarious episodes he graduated and left for the beach. Mary Ann Boyle, Phyllis Walker, Patricia MacGillivray, Barbara Milbyer and Jean Wagner took the feminine roles. Representing the school were Francis Klocke, Eugene Mack, Dennis Smith, Robert Cooney and Robert Surra. Supporting the cast backstage were Lawrence Sercu, stage manager, assisted by James Wallace and John Nebrich, prompters Joseph Crowley and Donald Wintringer, Terrence Casey, assistant to Mr. Mordaunt, and Francis Beacham, program editor.
