Activities Period Provides Relief from Friday Afternoon Mblahsw Since St. josephis has a tremendous participation in sports, which require every minute of spare time, and since so many students come from great distances, a great part of the student body lacks the time to participate in the many extracurriculars offered. So, every Friday one period is omitted and fifty min- utes given at the end of the day for everyone to do their particular thing. Actors act, rope-climbers climb, car enthusiasts talk about cars, and so forth. A new feature this year, the activities period gives everyone a chance to try everything.

Thespians G0 Dramatic: Murder in the Cathedral The St. joseph's Dramatic Society entered into something of a new era during the '68-'69 school year. Under the direction of Mr. Patrick Conway, the thespians broke with their tradition of comedy and opened the season with a modern drama. Murder in the Cathedral, a tragedy by T. S. Eliot, was presented on the evenings of December sixth and seventh. The play, which tells the immortal story of St. Thomas a'Becket, the martyr-saint of Cantebury, starred senior Gene Romagna. Sup- port for Romagna's Becket was given by Keith Kosco, Larry Muccilli, Mark Zwartynski, Louis Sapienza, John Cornell, Jim Varadhy, Ed Stehlik, and a chorus of girls from Mt. St. Mary's Academy. The stage crew, who handled such indispensables as lights, scenery and makeup, was headed by Mike McGrath and included Mike Bennett, Mike Molnar, Pete Stec, A1 Molnar, and john Bundy. Brian Forts aided Mr. Conway as Assistant Direc- otr, piloting the play to success as the first drama in St. Joe's in a number of years. Becket muses on his fate with the women of Canterbury.
