Robert J. Lacey and Althea De Latour, both well known for their previous starring vehicles in Thespian productions, will head the most brilliant array of talent ever put into one Loyola play. Following the dress rehearsal of the production. Dr. Alfred J. Bonomo, director of every Thespian play since 1922, stated that this is undoubtedly one of the finest all-around plays that.he has ever directed. He also assured the stu- Sents that the play will be comleted in time for them to be present at the final student dance by 10:15 p. m. The play, featured by brilliant acting on the part of each of the characters, with special praise for the two stars, Marion Le Doux, Marie Favrot and Catherine Bourg, is very difficult of presentation. Each character, with the exception of Lacey, must give a dual complex to his or her nature. As the curtain rises for the opening scene, there are presented to the audience characters of the lowest type, imbedded in an environment of crime. When the curtain descends at the close of the third and final act, through the kindliness and words of cheer of the Christ-like character, Lacey, they have -changed completely. There is an air of hope and a trust in the future that pervades their very make-up. Dr. Alfred J. Bonomo, moderator of the Thespian society, is directing the play. During a brief illness, he was assisted in the direction by John McCann, president of the organization. Robert Francioni and Bernard J. Ghio are property directors, for the production. During the performance, the formal pledging of the recently-elected Blue Key men will take place. C. Paul Barker, president of the local chapter, will conduct the pledging ceremonies.

Interpretation by Guy Bernard Choral Union—Soloists and Orchestra First Episode Love Bestowing Soprano Solo— Mrs. Azelie Handlin Ziegler Law Student Takes Up Dancing, Tap and Adagio, As His Hobby By Harry Engler "Spring is here, tra la, tra la, tra laaaa—" Ah, yes, this is the song of spring, and usually this is accompanied by a dance about the greensward or something. But, you may ask, what has all off this to do with Loyola? Puhlenty, says we, and even more serious a matter, it has to do with a dignified member of the school of law. If you should walk among the silfint rooms of the law school, wDiere students are serious-minded and study away like a house afire, you would see one, a slight chap With brown hair and eyes, Who appears to be just a bit more studious than the average. *; the professors were asked to point out the most diligent men of the freshmen class, the name of Paul Garofalo would stand high on the list. Growing impatient, you ask again, "but what has this to do with the dance of spring?" Just this. Believe it or not, this serious-minded member of the St. Thomas More Law Club is, in his more care-free moments, a tap dancer and adagio specialist par excellence. He started taking dancing lessons about four years ago, spurred by his girl friend, Miss Jerry Fenasci, a local dancing instructor of note, and in a short time he developed into one of the best local dancers. With Miss Fenasci as his partiier, he danced at local night clubs, atnd in various revues. Specializing at first in the dancing, Paul gradually increased his field until he Is at present quite a capable performer not only at tapping,tapping, but also at adagio and ballroom dancing. Hp, doesn't let it interfere with his school work, as he practices but once or twice a week. "I like dancing," avers Paul, "for it helps me to refresh my mind. It is a hobby with me, just as fishing or tennis is a hobby with other fellows." His most recent performance was at a revue sponsored by Miss Fenasci last Friday at the Jerusalem Temple. In it Paul danced several times, and received a great deal of notice for his grace and [diversity of routine. Speakers For Closing Exercises Dr. Edw. A. Fitzpatrick, dean of Marquette university's graduate school will deliver the commencement address Monday, and Rt. Rev. Msgi Wynhoven will preach the baccalaureate sermon Sunday. Last Student Dance Of Year Tonight At Tip Top It's the payoff tonight! Exams are over (with the exception of the poor, struggling law school students who still have one more to cram for) and the students of the campus are all set to let go with a breeze of hilarity and capricious cutting of capers. They're in the mood for a dance and the student dance committee has seen to it that they will have one to go to in order to celebrate the closing of school, the closing of books, and the closing of the year. Tonight at 9 o'clock the last student dance of the year will take place in the Tip Top Inn of the Roosevelt Hotel. Twelve floors up, where the breeze is cool and the dance floor spacious, the boys and gals and all their friends will gather for the last round-up of the year, the last get-together before the out-of-towners take trains and buses and thumbs for home, and the in-towners take the same for vacation trips. The gathering will be gay, spirits will be high, the atmosphere will be one of joy and happiness. Will you be there (if you're not a law student) to enjoy it all, or will you be a stay-athome and listen to some putrid jazz over your worn-out radio? The dance committee, to wind the year up in fine style, has gotten a good orchestra—the best in town, so they say—for this last splurge of feet-slinging. Roy Aultman, famed far and wide for his danceable tunes, will play the music and if you don't show up you'll be missing the best dance of the year. He'll play until 1 a. m. and after that you still have all morning. The last night of the year is sure to be a yawning dawning. Congratulations go to the student dance committee for giving some really fine dances this term. It is the opinion of the student body that they have been the best ever and if anybody thinks that's a lot of big talk he hasn't been to a student dance this year. The committee has done fine work this year and to show them appreciation, get your invitations today and be at the Roosevelt tonight for a really fine time. See you there!
