Under her direction, the drama department presented “God’s Favorite,” a contemporary comedy written by Neil Simon. Approximately 700 people at- tended the three performances given on the nights of November 16, 17 and 18. Students contributed much time to each of the eight departments of set construction, lights, sound, props, costumes, makeup, publicity and art design. The play tells the story of a modern day Job whose life is suddenly turned upside down by the appear- ance of an eccentric messenger from God. Joe has been chosen by God to show the devil how much he loves Him. Throughout the course of the play, Joe faces one hilarious disaster after another. Since Joe does not renounce God, but remains faithful, he is rewarded by God in the end. 10 Fall Play

The nine members, headed by Sister Corona Humpl N.D., and Sister Christine Uerling M.S., treated Haven House residents at Halloween and also made lap rugs for the elderly in Saunders County rest homes. At Christmas money and canned goods collected by Neumann students were donated to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children in Omaha.
