CONTEMPLATING THE MAGNIFICENT funeral he would have if he hanged himself, Jud lAndree Turnerl listens skeptically to Curley's lFrancis McMenaminl brilliant reasoning. On the evening of November 21, l968, a cowpuncher named Curly leaped through a gate on Kenrick's stage and began to sing . . . Oh, what a beautiful mornin'l Oh, what a beautiful day! l got a beautiful feelin' Everythin's goin' my way. He might well have been singing for Mr. John Burfete, producer, the Reverend Joseph Murray and Mr. A. J. Casale, moderators, Sister Rose Madeleine and Sister Mary William, music directors, Sister Dolores Kathryn and Sister Elizabeth Ann, stage directors, Mrs. Janet McLaughlin, Mrs. McDevitt, choreographer, and the cast and the stage crew, for they produced another great Kenrick performance in OKLAHOMA. ln a rough and growing territory out West, we find Curly lF. McMENAMlNl trying his best to court Laurey lS. TRAUBJ, who is also admired by a dirty ranch hand named Jud lA. TURNERD. In a fatal fight, Jud falls on his own knife, leaving 'the way clear for Curly to marry Laurey. They exit in the surrey as OKLAHOMA echoes through the hall. NIMBLE AND QUICK, Danny Manilla iumps to a lively western tune as his fellow cowboys ioin in the fun. THE REAL MOMENT OF TRIUMPH arrives, the Grand Finale ends, and, for all involved, months of dedication to a goal have borne fruit. 7 L l 4 rl S? ,QS tl 'S gf' 5,94 32:5 en ef rs se as '11 K we ,si fr

DRUM MAJOR, George Pin- chock, ably conducts band. Perfect timing and precision, as well as a fine quality of music, have made Kenrick's band one of the most highly accred- ited in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. With the talented help of moderators, Father Carroll, Sister Rose Madeleine, Mr. Ott, and director, Mr. Richard Genovese, the band successfully re- ceived Superior Rating in three categories in the All-Catholic Band Competition on October 19, 1968. Besides performing at football games and playing in and around Norristown, this group of enthusiastic musicians has carried Kenrick as far as Philadelphia and New York by marching in the Annual Thanks- giving Day and the Saint Patrick's Day Parades and by playing at the Academy of Music with public schools.
