Cast looks to rainbow Finian McLonergin came to Rainbow Valley in hopes that by planting a pot of gold, it would multiply. Well, perhaps his gold did not multiply, but the closeness and fellowship of the 50 member cast certainly did. After over a month of seemingly endless rehearsals and building of sets, the efforts of the cast of Finian's Rainbow were rewarded by sellout crowds and standing ovations. One of the unique aspects of the play was the fact that all of the action was confined to the gym floor, thus bringing the actors and actresses closer to the audinece.,Male leads were played by Rummel seniors Tommy Neuman, Mike McCandless, Mark Delisi, and Mark Murphy. Sophomore Sally Neuman and Senior Michele Procopio received the female leads. BELOW: Og lMike lVlcCandIessl, impishly baffles Finian lTom Neumanl.

rama club entertains When not providing entertainment in the form of plays, the main objective of the Drama Club is to communicate their efforts and projects to city high schools and the news media. This group also acts in a decision-making capacity concerning dramatic activities. lVlost cast members in plays are drawn from the Drama Club. Another branch of the Drama Department that became quite prominent is the Pantomime Troupe. These 20 girls performed 12 shows throughout the year. Their shows centered around the theme of the imagination which lent itself to many humorous mimes. The mime troupe displayed their talents in the unique form of a Pantomime lVlass, celebrated with Fr. Loecker. Through the lVlass, they illustrated their interpretation of how God shows himself to man through other men. WW,,,,...-.L Jan Henney rocks an imaginary baby to sleep.
