1 Keenan brought the laugh back to O ' Laughlin Theater during its 31st annual Revue, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Revue Fish. The show, including memorable acts such as Catholic Disney World, Driving My Uncle, Captain Planet and an Inconvenient Truth, and A Big Fat Floppy Cavanaugh, carried on the legacy of humor, a little raunchiness, a little edginess, and a lot of fun. Skits mocked life at ND, reminded us of memorable happenings of the year, and gave a couple of good punch lines. The music acts wowed the audience as did the Revue strippers (well at least the women of the audience were wowed). For three nights, over a thousand Notre Dame and Saint Mary ' s students trudged through the frigid winter weather to be a part of something special. They came for entertainment and to sustain themselves through a few more weeks of bleak South Bend weather. They were not disappointed. The Revue gave people something to laugh and complain about for a few weeks and made the gray cold a bit more bearable for at least a little while. story bv Mark Weber Sine fish, two fish, red fish, revuG fish A back-up dancer performs during Jesse Brawer ' s I Write Sins not Tragedies solo. photo by David Prina The gang from Captain Planet performs a kickline sequence. photo by Billy Gallagher Residents of Keenan Ha 2007-2008. photo by Mary Conroy 28 the gold standard i

In addition to success with interhall athletics, the dorm also won Keenan ' s Cake Making contest. In January, the dorm ' s seven sections compete to have the best decorated section in the dorm for the night of their signature dance. Pop Farley. Every girl in the dorm stays in the night before and decorates for hours to come up with the craziest or most dazzling hallway. Pop Farley is a much anticipated week for the dorm, and takes place at the beginning of every spring semester. Besides the decoration extravaganza, there are events throughout the week, including section skit night and sledding if the weather permits. There ' s also an opening and closing Mass, which Father Jenkins and Monk Malloy have both presided over in the past. Saturday night is the big event; the girls dress in formal attire and dance the night away. story written and edited by Teresa Hancock farley girls - finer and fiercer than ever before farley hall farley 27

we are the knights of keenan hall tradition. Excellence. Brotherhood. These words are just a few of the many attributed to Keenan Hall. Throughout the year, Keenanites demonstrate their commitment to the Notre Dame community by hosting some of the greatest events on campus. This year featured many new signature events including the Keenan-Stanford 50th Anniversary Birthday Party, the intense Geography Bee, Paint-Balling for Peace, and the Keenan Kombine. Keenan also continued to uphold some of its finest traditions including Muddy Sunday, the Great Pumpkin, and the Keenan Revue. From the Disco Bowl to the Christmas Dance to the Revue Formal and the Spring Fling, the Knights danced in style. They played hard, prayed hard, studied hard, worked hard, and never let the man hold them down. This 50th year, just like the previous forty-nine, was classy. story by Mark Weber edited by Danielle Straccia Freshman Trevor Boston shows Freshmen spell out We Are ND off his Keenan pride. before a home game. photo courtesy of Trevor Boston photo courtesy of Elizabeth Roman inores John Peterson and Patrick |)ump themselves up for a pep rally.
