HE COULDN'T MARRY FIVE SENIOR CLASS PLAY A good laugh is good for the soul. And there were at least a hundred good laughs in the three-act comedy, ''He Couldn't Marry Five,’ which was given by the senior class in Saint Joseph's Auditorium on the evenings of May 7 and 8. Complications enough generally arise when a young man falls in love with five and can't for the life of him, make up his mind which one to marry! Well, that is what happened in the rollicking three-act comedy, ''He Couldn't Marry Five.'' Don- ald Regan is the only son of a wealthy businessman. Donald had just recuperated from a nervous breakdown, brought on by an over-indulgence in sports. His father wanted him to go to a small town and rest while trying to decide what he would like to do in lite. So an important member of Mr. Regan's firm, Ralph Barton, who was about to be promoted to a partnership takes Donald home with him, where Donald meets Mr. Barton's five eligible daughters and proceeds to fall for the first one and then another until he is courting all five! From then on, one hilarious situation comes tumbling after another until things seem utterly hopeless. But everything comes out all right in the last act, and Donald gets the right girl. Richard Riedhart gave an excellent performance as th boss's son, Donald Regan. Mr. Barton, the father was portrayed by James Hoeftel. Jim gave a good per- formance. Lorraine Bushong admirably portrayed the part of Connie, the mother. Mary Muzzillo gave a good pertormance as Mr. Barton's sister, the aunt. The part of Granny was taken well by Phyllis Mezydlo. Marion Seifert played exceedingly well the part of the oldest daughter, April. The ballet dancer or oldest daughter was portrayed nicely by Rita Ann Kobiela. The third oldest daughter, an artist, was done exceptionally well by Rose Miller. Barbara Ann Bonkoski took the part of the fourth oldest daughter, a nurse, very well. The youngest daughter, a tomboy, was played excellently by Nancy Pence. Rita Ann Kobiela Page 18

BUSY BEE CLUB During the years of '43 and '44 the Busy Bee Club has been successful in both social and financial affairs, even though the present conditions have hindered it from reaching last year's quota. One of the Club's outstanding social affairs was the Junior and Senior Banquet which was a very gala affair. Another party that needs special mention was the Christmas Party which provided an enjoyable evening for every one. Other out- standing parties were: the Valentine's Party, Thanksgiving Party and the Pre-lenten Party. Dancing and coffee proved to be most popular with the student body during these affairs. With the opening of school the Busy Bee Club elected as their officers, Richard Riedhart, president; Mary Muzzillo, vice-president; Norbert Muzzillo, secretary; Ed- ward Kinney, treasurer; and Phyllis Mezydlo as business manager. Their success in business and social affairs came to an end in January when the following officers were elected; Barbara Bonkoski, president; Arthur Johnson, vice-president; Lorraine Bushong, secretary; Raymond Gingery, treasurer; and as business manager William Steigmeyer. These officers managed the club affairs splendidly. The Busy Bee Club has been successful in the past and the Seniors of '44 wish it much success in the future. Lorraine Bushong GLEE CLUB The voices of the Glee Club of '43 and '44, being too good to keep within the walls of S. J. H. and within hearing of the school children, delighted the audience who attended the three one-act plays of October 22, by rendering some old time songs between acts. Several faces in the audience brightened and it was believed they hummed along to the strains of many old favorites. ‘'Daisy'’ and ''Silver Threads Among the Gold,'' were two of the many that were sung. Too, the Glee Club assisted in the entertainment for Monsignor Bennett's Name Day Program. Songs that were sung in Glee Club that will always linger in the memories of the class are all the verses of Yankee Doodle and ''A Capital Ship. Other songs like ''We'll Whoop It Up and The Palisades,’ will always remind them of school. When on future sunny mornings the class recalls mornings in Glee Club it will remem- ber ''There Is No Place Like St. Joseph. Rose Miller Page |9
