7a and Um! Under the direction of Sister Mary Xavier,who came to Baraga three years ago, dramatics have come to play a prominent part in our extra-curricular activities. This year was an especially busy one with the Centennial Pageant in the fall, the Christmas Pageant, and finally, the Senior Class play, A Con- necticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The Centennial Pageant was presented in each of the seven deaneries of the Upper Peninsula as a cli- max to the first 100 Years of Growing in the Dio- cese of Marquette. In the See City of Marquette, the task of portraying the history of the diocese fell to Baraga. Members of the cathedral parish repre- sented the bishops in the final scene which pictured the Savior as the Eternal Priest. The pageant, Written by Father Thomas Ruppe, depicted events in the life of Frederick Baraga, first bishop of the diocese, and the history of priests and religious orders who have servedherethroughoutthe century. Also portrayed were such historical events as the discovery of the New World and the martrydom of Saints Isaac Jogues and Rene Goupil. , - ig? 24 , ' , . .4 , 'v f, 5 ' .WW ,. . pr . 1. . .V- , t ,,, .

We .Iwata mace 3M,aq4 a Sweddlwd The hours we spent dancing--at the Junior Halloween Dance, the Senior Christmas Dance, the Par- ent-Student dances, even the infor- mal dances after the big games-- are bound to leave us with some of our fondest memories. Then there was the midwinter Sodality Sweetheart Dance, where Marybeth Raish was crowned Bar- aga's Sweetheart for the second con- secutive year. She and her court-- Eunice Clement, Marlene and Connie Schwemin- -were chosen to be class candidates for that title by the boys of each class a few days prior to the big night. QR
