HISTORICAL RESU!\'lE Chaminadc, kn ow n as Cath olic High during th e sc holasti c yea r 1927- 1928, now com pletes the second year of its h isto ry, th e fi rst as a fo ur yea r hi gh school. ' In these tw o ye a r s so many uniform ly successf ul activities claimed th e attention o f t he stud ent body a nd general public th a t our li mited space allows but the sh ort es t o f summa r ies. Four hundred and fifty pupil s we r e p r ese nt for the Solemn Mass at E mm a nu el's Church w hich mark ed the inception o f a school which has already been r ecog nized as th e outsta nding high sc hool of Day ton. On that occasio n Rev er end Lawrence A.. Yeske. S. 1\1[', predicted the policy o f the new instituti on. "Catholic youth ,viII attend th is hi g h sch ool a nd wi ll be taug ht science, lit erat ur e and comme rce a s completely as anywhere else. \ Ve y ield to non e w hen it comes to prowess in inte llect ual pursuits. \\le also r ealize that a healthy body must house a health y mind and wi ll encourage athletic competiti on for aiL" "But above ph ys ical and menta l development we w ill str ess the need of mo ral development. of chara cter for mation. In yea rs to co m e yo u are to be leaders in civic and business endeavo r. leaders in Ca th olic enterpri se a nd thought. As a preparation fo r such responsibili ties you must be t rain ed to patience and obedience. to se ri ous application and st ud y. to self control a nd discipline." Tn the light o f these remarks we review the scho las tic. a thl etic and social ach ievements of the school. From th e sc holastic standpoint it is wo rthy of comment th at twenty-four ind ividuals ha ve acted in the ca pacit y of r ep~ r t e r s and special feature w r iter s for th e local newspapers. Scholastic competition. o ft en fo u nd ed upo n so rdid comme rcial mot ives. has bee n ge nera ll y disr ega rded. However. Bernard F oc ke, pres ident of the graduati ng cla ss , brough t hono r to hi s sc hool by placing t hird in a state-wide contest foste red by t he Oh io Federation o f \\' omen's Clubs. His discussion of "\Vhat Mak es a Hom e .M ode r n" was placed in com peti ti o n with 30.000 essays. Dramatic Art was a n educa ti o nal medium for fifty-t wo boys. Und e r t he dir ec ti on of }\r[r. D. C. As ht on four plays h ave been staged: "Seventeen." "Turn to the Ri g ht." "Come Seven" and "Th e Ye ll ow Tria ng le" . The last m enti o ned produ cti on won local dramatic honors for Chaminade and a trip to )Jew Yo rk for the cast as participants in the Dav id Belasco Little Th ea tre Tournament. In the fieJd of athl etics , winning tea ms have been developed in foo tball, basketball . go lf. tennis . sw imming. track a nd bowling. I ntramural leagues in basketball and bowling ha ve contriLuted to a r ealizati on of th e id eal "athl etics for aiL" The bas ketball te a m of 1928-'29. und er the able dir ec ti on o f 1\1 r . \V ill iam Blake, successor to Harry Solimano. reached th e final ro und in the Southw este rn Sectional T o u rnament. 1n golf. Ch aminade won tw o loca l champ ionships and at present ho lds th e Stat e champions hip. One week ago Ca ptai n Edward Hamant won local ind ividual honors in this spo rt. Tn sw imming and th e cross co untry run Ch aminade rank s r es pec ti ve ly, second and third. Th e reco rds ind ica te that in eve ry sport the school has mo re t han held its own aga in st the sti ffes t Class A co mpetition in the sta te. Th e Dads' Club and Pa rent-T eac her Assoc iatio n ha ve spo nso red innum erab le social events incl udin g two banquets a t th e E ng in eers Cl ub th e fir st year and two at th e Hotel Gibbons thi s year. Among the out sta nding spea ker s secu r ed for these occasio ns we r e: Paul C. Stetson. Geo rge H. Trader. Charl es J. ll rennan. Roland \V. Baggott, Robert C. Pa tt erson, Harry C. Baujaun.

DA YTON LITTLE THEATRE TROPHY (An emblem of local supremacy.)

DRAMATIC ART T h e fouf product ions of th e Chaminade Dramatic Club ha ve broug h t mo re fame to th e school than any other extra-cu rri cular activity. "Seventeen " was the first play staged by Qur . Th espian s. Conc erning this co medy, D e\ Vitt Nic holas says. "Very interes ting and mos t amusing was the perfo rm ance of Booth T arkington's ' Seven tee n' . The play has bee n voted as one of the fu nni es t o f th e Tarkingto n s to ri es o f youth. so t he sc rip t was to be tak en fo r g rant ed. But not o nl y did th ese yo un gsters ha ve a good play in itself, th ey g ave a ve ry good show . And, added to eve r y thing elsc, was t he a mu sing situation o f a n all-boy cast : which mea ns t hat the 'Baby-ta lk Lad y' a nd a ll th e o th er 'youn g ladies' were boys, dispo rt ing themselves in handsome \V ias and fe minine fi nery-eve ry thing except voice, De\Vitt I\s hto n, who directed th e piece dese r ves sincere credit." A nother critic, A. . ]~a n y , call ed " T urn to th e Right" , "an ambitious production s ta ged w ith a n unusual exactness of deta il a nd ena cted in co nsiderab ly more than a mer ely adequate way. It was rathe r a tr emend ous und er taking, especiall y in t he scen ic equipment. req uirin g four heav y se ttings. A ll th ese ancl th e move ments of th e acto r s there in were we ll ma naged," The t hird production '; Come Seven" eli cits favo rable com ment from James :Mui r . "So successfull y did the members o f th e cast play th eir parts that both dial ect and characterization were ve ry sa ti s fa ctory. Th e den izens of Birmingh am's black belt were so acc urately photog raphed that in som e cases th ey see med to have ste pped ri g ht ou t of th e pages o f o ne of Me Cohen's Sa turday Evenin g P os t sto ri es ." fmp rovi ng with eac h production th e D ra matic Club se lec ted ;'T he Yellow Triangle", by Geo rge S utton . for presentation in the local D ra mat ic T ournam ent. It is we ll kn ow n t hat Chaminade was the unanimous choice o f t h e judaes to repr ese nt Day ton in th e David Belasco Little Theatre Tournament.
