The fifth annual mid-winter carnival of Fairfield
University will be held on the evening of February 1,
1952, in the pleasant atmosphere of the Ritz Ballroom,
Bridgeport, Conn. For our dancing pleasure from
9 to 1, we will find the dynamic Ted Herbert Orchestra
presenting a blended and varied progmm of music.
Fairfield University, according
to the Dance Chairman, Bill
McGrath, is indeed fortunate this
year in securing the Ted Herbert
group. Renowned as the Band of
the Year, Ted's recordings on
London and Marvel discs have
been played on all the major
networks. His varied background
of experiences includes personal
appearances on many indepen­dent
networks and radio stations.
Hailed and recognized as Prom
King of finer colleges and univer­sities,
Ted Herbert has played
consistently for such schools as
Dartmouth, T u f t s, Bowdoin,
Wesleyan, Northeastern, Univer­sity
of Maine, University of New
Hampshire, and many others.
The critics have this to say: The
Cash Box-"People are gonna go
nuts for it," Radio Daily­"
Great," B 0 s ton American ­j
"Good as the best," Billboard-
"Far superior," and The Listener
says, "The most dancible band
in the land." Truly, Ted Herbert
and his featured vocalists should
give us dancing pleasure.
George P. Weising will once
again create special ice decora­tions.
Most of the ice carvings
will be on the inside this year.
Mr. Weising yearly decorates the
front of his home with beautiful
creative ice sculpturing. The re­putation
of Mr. Weising, how­ever,
extends over New England
and all the big Eastern Seaboard
cities in the field of ice sculpture.
These creations of chilled beauty
will add zest to the crisp mid­winter
carnival setting.
A brief outline of the program
procedure for the carnival eve­ning
shows the first set of music
beginning at 9 p.m. During inter­mission,
the great event of the
evening comes with the choosing
of the Snow Queen. From the
bevy of beauties escorted by
Fairfield scholars, the judges will
have the difficult task of choos­ing
the Queen of them all to lead
the grand march which follows.
Ted Herbert then completes the
evening with the second set of
music.
For the biggest social event
of the year the committee is
sending invitations to the Alum­ni
of Fairfield University to at­tend
this gala affair. This event
is strictly formal and as per
custom no corsage for the lady.
To record the beauty of your
date or the happiness enjoyed by
your group, Art Perry will be
on hand to take pictures at a
very reasonable rate.
The following have agreed to
same as hosts and hostesses for
the evening: Mr. and Mrs. Wil­liam
F. Heagney; Mr. and Mrs.
Gilbert L. King; and Mr. and
Mrs. Edward R. Flannery.
The bids are $5.00 a couple
and will go on sale shortly. They
will be available from anyone
of the committee members listed

Fifth Mid-Winter Carnival
Holiday Dance Held
By New Haven Club
On Monday, December 31, the
New Haven Undergraduate Club
held its last social activity of
1951, and first one of 1952, when
a large group of its members
assembled at The Castle to greet
the New Year. Many fellow Men
in Red from neighboring pro­vinces
(Bridgeport, Hartford,
Waterbury) joined the celebra­tion,
as well as students from
other colleges. Music was by
Morris Watstein's Trio.
A committee under Tom Lo­Ricco
and including Al Annun­ziato,
Jim Dinnan, Jim Doheny,
Don Hoefler, Bill Mahan, Frank
McGouldrick, and Bill Miller
decorated the halls and sold

Appointed To 1953 Manor
The Rev. Lawrence C. Langguth, S.J., has an­'
nounced the appointments of Carroll F. McGrath, John
E. Klimas, and Charles B. Rose as Editor-In~Chief,Asso­ciate
Editor, and Business Manager, respectively, of the
1953 Manor.
McGrath, a native of Bridge- .
port, assumes the top position of
the Manor with a great deal of
extracurricular experience be­hind
him. He has been a mem­ber
of the Stag staff for three
years, and was recently named
Feature Editor, a position which
he will now vacate in favor of
the Manor.

In addition, the new Editor
has been a member of the Busi­ness
Club and has been working
with a group which has been
preparing for the publication of
a club newspaper. McGrath re­cently
headed the Junior Class
magazine drive, was a member
of the now defunct· Freshman
Advisory Group, and last year
served on the committee which
organized the Sophomore Ama­teur
Night Show, "The Barber
of Palermo." He is a graduate of
Fairifield Prep, now working for
his BBA degree.
Klimas a Veteran
The Associate Editor, John
Klimas, is a student in the B.S.
Biology group, and is also a
member of the STAG makeup
staff. In addition, John is a
member of the Biology Club, and
at the present time is a candi­date
for the Sodality. A native
of Ansonia, Klimas attended An-.
Last year the members of the
senior class took an objective
examination in Scholastic Phil­osophy,
along with hundreds of
other Seniors in Catholic col­leges
throughout the country.
This examination was prepared
by a Committee of the National
Catholic Education Association.
It is a comprehensive exam­ination
covering the convention­al
principles and history of
Scholastic Philosophy. In order
that this test be suitable for use
in all Catholic colleges the com­mittee
has allowed for differen­ces
in viewpoint and subject­matter
in different institutions.
Originally this examination
was developed for administra­tion
to college seniors or first
year graduate students majoring
in scholastic philosophy; how­ever,
due to the many philoso­phy
courses taken by the Catho­lic
college students, regardless
of his major field of concentra­tion,
the committee decided to
extend this examination to all
seniors. Thus, it is suitable for
administration to three groups:
all members of the senior class,
all seniors majoring in philoso­phy,
and all first-year graduate
students majoring in philosophy.
In 1945 the National Catholic
Educational Association and the
American Catholic Philosophical
Association jointly established
two committees to prepare a
scholastic philosophy test. It was
decided that for satisfactory pro-gress
a single committee located ( 'I P 'd t (I 'f' 'OUnCI ~esl ,en . an les in one area should take over all responsibilities. The N.C.E.A. in
1947 appointed a new committee

since the regulation is simple MI'd-Year Examl'natl'on Schedule and logical. Over a year ago the
Council recognized that a co­ordinated
social calendar was
needed in order to promote so­cial
activities, space events so
that no period would have too
many or too few, afford infor­mation
about possible dates to
all interested groups and elim­inate
conflicting dates. Thus, the
regulation was passed that the
dates of all social activities
sponsored by undergraduate or­ganizations
and classes must be
cleared through Council at least
two weeks before the proposed
event. This was aimed primar­ily
to eliminate the problem of
conflicting dates and this is still
the basic purpose of the regu­lation.
It can be seen that this regu­lation
is both helpful and con­venient
to all groups. Early sub­mittance

club hopes to stimulate interest
among the student body and, at
the same time, offer a series of
informative lectures.
At its first organizational
meeting in the year '50-'51 the
members of the club elected the
following officers: Robert Bug­bee

Daniel Mullins '52, Correspond­ing

Vogel '53, Recording Secretary;
John Brodrick '52, Correspond­ing

present, plans for future month­ly
dinners and campus meetings
are being formulated; the mem­bers
of the Business Club can
look forward to a successful and
interesting program of speakers.

In the Spring of 1951 the Business Club of Fairfield
University was founded under the facuUy guidance of
Mr. James Liebke and Mr. Thomas F.itzpatrick. Since
that date it has acquired a membership of 95 students,
-one of the largest, -if not the largest, clubs on campus.
Throughout its short history it
has been the policy of the club
to hold bi-monthly 'Campus meet­ings
and monthly business din­ners,
to which guest speakers are
invited. In the academic year
'50-'51 the club has presented
distinguished men of the busi­ness
world. At its first dinner
Joseph J. Santoiana, a member
of the Federal Bureau of Inves­tigation,
spoke on the ·topic,
"Your F.B.I." The second speak­er
of the evening was J. H.
Crawford, assistant manager of
marketing at the General Elec­tric
Co. Later in the year Ray­mond
Builter, general office
manager of Columbia Records
discussed before the club "What
Employers Expect from Employ­ees
and How to Choose an Em­ployer."
To date in the academic
year '51-'52, Gilbert L. King, a
member of the New York Stock
Exchange, and Herman Stein­kraus,
President of the Bridge­port
Brass Co., have appeared at
the monthly dinner to discuss
various topics of interest to those
students interested in making

The Interview
By RONALD BEATTY
I overheard recently an inter­view
of a colI e g e professor.
This professor was of average
status bearing no mark of out­standing
service in the field of
knowledge. He hails from the
Educational Department of Any
University Faculty. Nothing per­sonal,
mind you. The interview
went something like this:
Ques. Tell, me, Professor, why
did you choose the teach­ing
profession?
Prof. Well, I found out in my
younger days that those
who are unable to work,
teach, and later on I real­ized
that those who are
unable to teach, ·teach
teachers.
Ques. I suppose you are happy
with your work, Profes­sor?
Prof. Quite. It gives me an op­portunity
to express my­self
freely, relieving the.
frustrations and inferior­ity
complexes that I ac­quire
from my wife. It's
like a breath of fresh air
in a musty room. In fact,
even my students call my
class the "Fresh Air
Course" or (thoughtf411y)
is it the "Breeze Course?"
Ques. Which subject do you
most enjoy teaching?
Prof. Tangents.
Ques. Would you care to elab­orate?
Prof. No.
Ques. Professor, could you tell
us something about your
classroom techniques?
Prof. Well, I usually enter class
about five minutes late.
This dashes any hopes
that they have built up
thinking I might not show
up and leaves them in a
submissive mood. I drag
my lectures at a slow pace,
then five minutes before
the end of the class I shift
into third and hit sixty.
This leaves them totally
confused, the end of their
notes looks as though
a chicken ran across the
paper with ink on its feet,
and in that way I get them
to read their text. I insist
that when they write their
compositions the y use
only one side of the paper,
thus giving me a clean
side to keep my bridge _
scores on.
Ques. What about your tests and
exams, Professor?
Prof. I always give my boys a
fair one day notice of an
hour examination and I
always spring a quiz when
they least expect it, such
as the day before or after
a holiday. However, I be­lieve
in being democratic
about these quizzes and I
ask them beforehand whe­ther
or not they wish
to take it, then I proceed
to do just the opposite of
what they wish. The
questions are fair but
sometimes I throw a curve
just to keep them on their
toes. A pet question of
mine is "Will Lucky
Strike Green come back
from war?"
Ques. How do you measure
these examinations?
Prof. Simple: I sit my grand­daughter
at the top of the
stairs and give her the
exams. She proceeds to

The Manor: Present And Future......
N.F:C.C.S. SENI02 DELEGATE
To the new Editor-In-Chief of the 1953 Manor, we
extend our heartiest congratulations and voice the hope
that he will be successful in his appointed task, and that
the Manor of 1953 will be truly representative of Fair­field
University.
We of The STAG feel that Carroll McGrath was a
good choice for the job. He has worked well for us, and
wrth us, for three years. We feel that he and his assist­ants,
John Klimas (also a staff member), and Charlie
Rose have the ability to do a good job, and we hope that
they receive the backing and support of their class.
The task of organiz'ing and publishing an issue of
the Manor is a tremendous one, and one that may easily
lead to discouragement. A good staff is a necessity and
we hope that those Juniors who are able and capable
will hasten to assist the new Editors.
It ,is our observation that behind the Staff and the
Editors, there must be a unified class support. It ap­pears
that this year, the support for the 1952 Manor has
been a little short of good. Some felt for a long time
that this was the case, but rumor became fact only when
Fmnk Woods' "open letter" was published. We feel
that under the circumstances, this letter was necessary,
though we hope that it may never be again.
When Frank Woods worked on the staff of The
STAG, we found him energetic and efficient, cool and
deliberate. We assume that he has not changed. It was
with deep gloom, therefore, that we read the "open
letter" which he felt compelled to write Ito the Senior
Class. The letter indicates that there are some Seniors
who are not willing to accept the responsibility which
is rightfully theirs. We feel nothing but shame for
members of this segment of the Senior Class.
Our sympathy is extended to the officers of the
Senior Class, as well as to Frank Woods and his staff,
who have tr·ied to work with such a spiritless, disinter­
·ested segment in their class. They should complain,
but they do not.
These words obviously do not apply to those seniors
who have co-operated, and there are very many of them,
but we hope these same words may have an effect upon
those who have not as yet co-operated, and there are too
many of them. We feel that it should be put into the
record that there are some Seniors who, thus far, have
not been worthy of the name.

University was moved to
this campus and even today the
University of San Francisco is
the only university situated in
that city. .
Diamond Jubilee
In 1930 the College held its
Diamond Jubilee and at that
time, at the request of civic,
professional, and industrial lead­ers
of San Francisco, adopted
the name of the city with which
it had been so long identified.
Thus the St. Ignatius College of
the past became the University
of San Francisco of the present.
San Francisco is like other
Jesuit universities in that it high­ly
recommends student partici­pation
in extra-curricular activi­ties.
Approximately 30 officially­approved
organizations and six
university publications afford
an outlet for most of the inter­ests
of the students.
Outlets for Interests
Alpha Sigma Nu, the National
Jesuit Honor Society, has a
chapter on this campus and an­other
group, the Thomists, acts
to foster a greater appreciation
of Scholastic Philosophy through
the means of group discussion.
The College Players, the Glee
Club, and the Band and Orches­tra
satisfy the dramatic and mu­sical
tendencies of the San
Franciscans, while two ROTC
organizations, the Scabbard and
Blade and the Pershing Rifles,
foster a fraternal feeling among
the officers and cadets in the Ad­vanced
and Basic courses re­spectively.

University of San Francisco
Born During Gold Rush Days
A great civic leader has written of the University
of San Francisco, saying, "If San Francisco is a better
place to live than any ather city that we know, it is be­cause
courage in those turmoiled days of sudden wealth
(the Gold Rush Days) brought us men as bold as those
who laid their poke of dust upon the' bar; men bold
enough to wear the cloth of G~d and bring His humble
step close to the swaggered tread of boastful men.
Those bold men were gentle Jesuits who understood
their God so well they knew that culture land adventure
could not make a city great, but that any city to be
great must have knowledge and culture and faith and
beauty."
Why was such a statement
made? It was because the only
university in San Francisco,
known for more than three­quarters
of a century as St.
Ignatius College, came into
existence almost simultaneously
with the city which shelters it
... San Francisco, the Pearl of
the West Coast.
As the city has grown in
wealth, beauty and prosperity,
the Jesuit University of San
Francisco has helped it grow in
faith and culture as well. The
city, famous world over for its
natural setting, is the commerc­ial
center of the Pacific Coast
and thus, with its traditions for
the arts and its cosmopolitan
population, affords innumerable

These advanced-course
students must attend summer
training for six weeks, during
which time they receive $75.00

in the Air Force Reserve.
Those students who complete
this course and receive the Sec­ond
Lieutenant commissions in
the Reserve may, if they are
physically qualified, enter flight
training as S~cond Lieutenants
rather than as aviation cadets.
Loyola's Mark on Society
Some of the men who once
walked Loyola's paths have be­come
extremely prominent in
society and government. The
most noteworthy of this group
are attorneys, and Loyola may
well be proud of their achieve­ments.
Four Superior Court
Judges, as well as hosts of busi­nessmen,
physicians, industrial­itsts,
etc. have made their train­ing
be felt in society.
Also listed among Loyola's
alumni are U.S. Attorney Walter
S. Binns, '36, who was recently
appointed to his office, and
Assistant U.S. Attorney Angus
D. McEachen of the Class of
1931.
Loyola is not to be outdone by
other colleges for prominent
faculty members either. Its Dr.
Frank Sullivan (Ph.D. Yale '40)
has been acclaimed as a public
speaker, lecturer, and authority
on St. Thomas More, while its
Dr. Romeo P. Allard (ph.D.
Notre Dame '34) has been en­gaged
in a series of sub-experi­ments
on government research
projects.
Another outstanding faculty
member is Rev. William J. Mc­Intosh,

Industrial Relations Department.

a new 100 acre campus started
at Del Rey, it too became one
of the numerous victims of the
"crash" of 1929, and of the con-sequent
depression which lasted
well through the 30's. Deter­mination
and sacrifice on the
part of its Administration and
faculty resulted in Loyola's

no sooner had the University
regained its breath than it found
itself faced with the new pros­pect
of a possible forced-losing
because of World War II. During
the height of the War, Loyola
continued in operation even
though its student enrollment
was slashed to less than 100
men!
After the War, however, Loy­ola
had a peak enrollment of
2,500 in all divisions, primarily
because of the G.I. Bill. Now,
with a fairly normal enrollment,

ceive an A.B. degree in the West,
was Thomas 1. Bergin. It was
written in his college records
that: "Master Thomas Bergin,
having last year exposed the
whole of Homer's Illiad, this
year offers himself to be exam­ined
in the 24 books of the
Odyssey and on Demosthenes'
Phillipics and De Corona."
The Art Gallery
Another building has been
proposed for the campus which,
like the Observatory, should be
unique for a school of this size.
The building is the proposed de
Saisset Art Gallery and Museum
to be constructed on the campus.
This will be used to display de
Saisset family heirlooms, as well
as relics of early Santa Clara
Missions.
As soon as he saw us he called
out to me: 'Juanito, why did you
strike your brother?' 'No, Padre,'
I answered, 'I did not strike him.'
Father Magin then said, 'Your
little brother could not reach the
roses; why did you not pick
them for him? You deserve a
punishment.' I was really amaz­ed
at this because he could not
have seen me in the rose garden,
and he could not walk, and did
110t move from his place."

small in comparison to other
schools, it has one building in
particular which is probably
unique to it as a school of this
size. The Ricard Memorial Ob­servatory
is the gift of the
Knights of Columbus of Califor­nia
to the "Padre of the Rains,"
and within its three domes are
telescopes, a spectroheliograph,
and other instruments. Also, an
underground passageway con­nects
it with the vault of the
Seismic Station where the
semismographs record the trem­ors
of the earth.
It was said that in the past,
"The Dons all sent their sons to
Santa Clara." Today, many
"Dons" continue this practice;
and as a result most of the stu­dent
body at the University is a
great cross-section of the West,
E:specially California. 0 the l'
states are becoming more and
more represented on this Pa­cific
Coast campus, though, as
parents from Eastern and Mid­Western
states seek a California
school for their sons.
The Story of Father Magin
A story has been told often
by one Juan Borjorques, a man
who had lived on the grounds
of the Mission when Father
Magin had been there. Borjor­ques
testifies, "When I was a
boy my mother sent me and my
brother for some roses. We had
to pass the Mission buildings in
front. Father Magin was seated
in his accustomed place on a
bench of the portico. When he
saw us he called to me and said,
~ 'Where are you going, Juanito?'
'I am going to pick some roses
on the other side of the church,'
I replied. 'Good, good,' said the
Father, and went on reading his
book. When my brother and I
came to the rose bush, the little
fellow could not reach any of the
roses. He tried hard, but only
scratched his hand. I grew angry
and struck him. When we came
back the same way, the Padre
was still sitting on his bench.

800 Maximum
Santa Clara is a small univer­sity
with facilities designed to
accommodate a maximum of 800 I
students. This is a deliberate
limitation, set witb an eye to the
effectiveness of the education
being offered. To enlarge its
facilities would mean that the
purpose of the school would be
defeated, fo'r confusion of school
types and school purposes with­in
a university would reduce the
possibilities of fulfilling Santa ,
Clara's main purpose ... to em-I
phasize the development of men.
Therefore Santa Clara is small
both in the number of courses
offered and in the number of
students who take them.
The University occupies ap­proximately
45 acres 47 miles
south of San Francisco. Its build­ings
are grouped in a series of
quadrangles around the Mission
Church, and all hav.e the Cali­fornia
Mission style of architec­ture.
It is impossible to describe the
beauty of the campus, of the
buildings, or of the surrounding
valley of Santa Clara, for its
beauty is beyond description.
Colored pictures show some of
the brilliance, but even they pay
but partial credit to the beauti­ful
setting and scenery of the
valley.

Neri had been the first of the
Order to be ordained in Cali­fornia,
and by 1869 he had per­fected
an electric lighting sys­tem
which used carbon electric
lights. Father Neri's lights were
the first to be used in San Fran­cisco,
actually ten years before

in other parts of the world.

means a happy one, as is evident.
In 1836, for example, Santa
Clara was secularized and pass­ed
from the hands of the Fran­ciscan
Padres into those of the
politicians. As a result, the Mis­sion
was robbed of her lands and
her children were either heavily
oppressed or were driven away
completely. Conditoins became
so bad that in 1850, when it had
been restored by the American
government, only one Franciscan
was in charge of the sadly re­duced
Mission.
The Bishop of the Dioceses of
San Francisco was determined
to save the remnants of the Mis­sion
and also to start a coll~ge
in the area. It was here that the
Jesuits were called upon and. at
the invitation of the Bishop,
"The West is young, but Santa Clara is old." It was 175 years ago that two \
Franciscan Padres entered the valley 0 f Santa Clara to t'each and preach to the
arrested primitives of that unknown region. Theirs was a heartrending task, to
bring the Faith to those who knew nothing about even the white man's civiliza I
tion, let alone his religion. But these men, de la Pena and Murguia, rbothcultured
and refined gentlemen 'Of Spain, had the hearts and the willingness to leave be­hind
all comforts their homes could afford them and to enter the unknown "ends
of the earth," into the semi-desert called California, to perform their inspired task
of teaching the Gospel and living with the primitive natives of this region.

inform your group that no con­flict
will result for it, or to reject
it and offer other dates for con­sideration.
When a date is sub­mitted
the committee immedi­ately
checks to see if that par­ticular
date has been cleared
previously for another function
and if any conflict would result
between -them. Obviously, two
groups cannot hold an affair
simultaneously in Berchman's
auditorium as for example the
Bellarmine Guild and a Sopho­more
Amateur Night. In this re­gard,
the committee works in
conjunction with the Prep school
authorities.
Further, it is not considered
wise for a club to hold an affair
on the same night as a scheduled
home basketball game or a Glee
Club concert in the same area
as the proposed event. Thus the
Waterbury Club could not plan
a dance in their town on the
same night that the team plays
Providence College in the Wa,t­erbury
Armory. However, it can
easily be seen that two groups
such as the Bridgeport Club and
the Metropolitan Club could
hold separate activities on the
same night without conflict.
The policy may be reduced to
three considerations: (1) no club
or class affair is cleared for the
same night as one which de­mands
full student participation,
i.e. home basketball game; (2)
no club affair is cleared which
would conflict with a class func­tion
if the latter has been cleared
first or vice versa; and (3) simul­taneous
events are cleared if
they do not conflict concerning
attendance.
The Council is in no way at­tempting
to dictate these dates
but wishes to aid your group by
affording it convenient informa­tion
about social activities and
insurance against a conflicting
affair. Only by complete coop­eration
from all classes and clubs
can this be done since the refusal
of anyone group ,to comply will
jeopardize the success of other
activities.

When our first ancestors were
given their primordial heave
from Paradise, they brought
down on subsequent generations
of humanity, many evils, many
weaknesses and many ills. How­ever,
no evil humans endure, no
torture we know, can compare
with detaching one's self from a
comfortable pallet at any hour
before twelve (12) P.M. Many
a time, being of a calculating
turn of mind, I have objectively
weighed the merits of sleep-as
advanced by the medical pro­fession
and tired people, and the
demerits, shall I say, of waking
up. On a purely rational basis,
we would be much better off if
we never slept, since we would
thus be spared the monstrous
torture of arising.
It is not so much the return
to consciousness that is so pain­ful,
it is the consequent sequence
of physical acts by which we put
fattening foot on frigid floor, and
after the ensuing traumaticreac­tion,
reach a wavering, upright
position.

the excellent, amusing
story so well presented. This
year, with a full year's ex­perience
and removal of produc­tion
"bugs," a greater evening
of fun and frolic is assured.
Once again, Rudy Girandola,
with the capable assistance of
Mr. Louis Cappalletti on the
music, brings to you a new play.
This is not in the strict sense an
amateur night consisting of a
series of acts. This is a well knit
musical comedy on the humor­ous
aspects of the affable Italian
people with a definite underly­ing
theme. This is family type
entertainment and Mom and
Dad, sister or brother will all
find laughs just for them. It rates
the ***** (5) achievement award
from this writer.
The leads this year are hand­led
by Clem Naples as Antonio
and Art Sapienza as Guiseppi.
These two men handled last
year's leads like Broadway stars
and with a years barbering ex­perience
naturally will serve up
a neater cut. Giovanni by John
Bigley will once again thrill the
heart of Marie, played by Bob
Murphy. Bigley's beautiful tenor
tones last year established his
reputation as another hearthrob.
Salami Sam, (Jim Farnham) and
Pepperoni Pete, (Roy Ervin) had
small character parts last year
which they did so well that Rudy
Girandola greatly enlarged their
portrayal as "sau-sigge smugg­lers."
The judge by Bron Orlow­ski
is a new asset to the play.
Observation of his rehearsal
work by this writer assures me
that he is as competent in acting
as he is in his other school ac­tivities.
Spaced well, we find the
specialty features of Pete Amen­ta
and his guitar; Joe Forte and
his accordian. Both of these
names are so well known that
mere mention assures you of re­ceiving
stellar entertainment.
Prendergast and Skoop do a
novelty dance that is worth the
price of the entire show by it­self.
The Bensonians sing orig­inal
songs and a chorus from our
famous University Glee Club will
provide background music of the
highest calibre. Mr. Louis Cap­pelleti
at the piano is all around
accompanist for the show. His
