Europe is always alluring to the
American traveler, but there is an
added incentive for going abroad in
11)30. It is the year of the Passion
Play. This stupendous spectacle is
presented over a period of five
months every tenth year, and Amer
icans are attracted to these per
formances in increasing numbers
each time they are given at Ober-
ammergau.
The Passion Play will be given
every Sunday next May and June,
and twice weekly the fiollowipg
three months. Attendance at the
Passion Play is featured on a num
ber of the tours of the newly form
ed Catholic Students Travel League
in 1930.
Besides its religious significance,
the Passion Play serves to interest
the tourist because of the hospitality
of the villagers to the visitors to
Oberammergau. Nealy the entire pop
ulation of this quaint village, which
nestles in the foothills of the Bavar
ian Alps, participates in the per
formances, and it is the custom that
each spectator be housed by a player
the night preceding the performance.
Already several hundred reserva
tions for these quarters have been
made for members on tours of the
Catholic SPad exits Travel League
next Spring and Summer. This or
ganization has the endorsement and
support of hundreds of church dig
nitaries and educators at the leading
colleges and schools of the United
States and Canada. His Eminence,
William Cardinal O’Connell, Arch
bishop of Boston, is one of the en
dorsers, and the Executive Council is
headed by Rev. W. Coleman Nevils,
president of Georgetown University.
Local headquarters of the League
are located at No. 551 Fifth Avenue.
The Passion Play, a dramatiza
tion of the life of Christ, has been
given every tenth year since the
plague of 1633. During that year
the citizens of Oberammergau vow
ed that they would re-enact the
life of Christ every tenth year as
a thanksgiving offering for having
been delivered of the inflictive evil.

The play is a gigantic manifesta
tion of religious worship and the
moral character of each actor is
considered as well as his histrionic
ability. The whole village lives for
this production. The inhabitants
spend their time at fashioning cruci
fixes, rosaries and images of the
Saints for disposal to the tourists
who pass through their village year
by year.
The passion Play portrayals are
the epitome of emotional acting.
Each player puts his very soul into
his part. Participation is one of
the leadiing character roles is the
life’s achievement of each player.

Winner of Bet Harbors Belief that
Loser was Unfair in Not
Paying Off.
Last Saturday a week ago the
first battalion, field artillery and
the engineers were playing a foot
ball game. The artillery was lead
ing by one touchdown. One of the
BATTALION’S rubber-soled report
ers was as usual snooping for news,
smoking a long pipe, and hiding in
a near-by bush. He overheard the
following conversation between Pea
nut Owens, well-known ex-studenr
and Major J. E. Sloan. The latter,
because his organization was win
ning, was behaving in a manner
very unbecoming to his dignity.
Owens: I bet you the artillery
doesn’t win.
Major Sloan: If it doesn’t I’ll
stand on my head on the fifty-yard
line immediately after the game
Owens: Thatsa bet. (They shake).
Before many precious moments
had passed the engineers scored a
touchdown, and the score was tied,
remaining unchanged until the end
aie ’ ! of the game.
You’ve got to think high to rise, | By thig time the news had spread
You’ve got to be sure of yourself | and there were camer amen, report
ers, and curious by-standers near
the scene of action to behold Major
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t;
If you’d like to win but think you
can’t,
It’s almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost,
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will,
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you’re outclassed, you
before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who
wins
Sloan doing his up-side-down stunt,
but the latter, blushing profusely,
backed down.
And to this day Peanut thinks
Is the man who THINKS HE CAN. i that the Major did not keep his bet.
