Tradition-al Fiddler On The Roof The curtain opens and the crowd settles down. Mr. Michael Madonia appears and begins the overture of the Fall Musical Fiddler on the Roof. The play is about Jews in Russia who must realize the importance of sticking to rigid tradition and at the same time, letting go. The show opens with the song “Tradition” which tells of Jew¬ ish custom and also discloses a great deal of ethnic flavor to the audience. Fiddler on the Roof shows the changes of a family and of the town of Anatevka. Actors and actresses applied full beards to themselves, learned Jewish folk dances and traditions, and also learned to believe in their characters to such an extent that they brought tears at every performance. Every aspect of the musical was directed by specialists, Mr. Joseph Malczak was the acting director, Fr. Jack Winterlin the musical coordinator, Chris Bo¬ bos the choreographer and Julio Alonzo the makeup artist. Var¬ ious parents also contributed special help with the wardrobe. The story deals with five daughters and the chaos of mar¬ rying them off. Step by step, the weddings deal with stubborn tradition and the gradual loos¬ ening of its grip. The audience had the chance to react with ev¬ ery emotion. A departure scene between Teveye (Peter Perez) and his daughter Hodel (Monica Medina) brought people to tears, yet confusion in the bar¬ tering of Teveye’s daughter Zie- del (Margaret Cafferty) caused side-splitting laughter. Fiddler on the Roof, which contained actual dance steps used in the original Broadway musical, provided intense drama as well as unique humor, will go down in the history of Bishop Noll ad a special and also as a common favorite. What? Breaking tradition! Dancing together, Hodel and Perchik (Monica Medina and Ben Likens), break the tradition of segregation of sexes at weddings. Let us give thanks. In carrying on the Sabbath Day celebration, Teveye’s family prays before eating their dinner. Fall Musical 15

Breaking them all! Why break one rule when you can break two? During a chemistry lab Junior Danielle Phillips eats a candy bar violating the regulation of no eating in the lab. She is also wearing a dark blue polo under her white oxford breaking the dress code of “no double layers.” Out of uniform! It seems the boys of Bishop Noll get away with breaking the school dress code more than girls. A perfect example is crew neck sweaters. Senior Andy Klosak passes the attendance office on his way to class after lunch and is not stopped by Mrs. Smith or Coach Vlasic. Detention? Chances are against it. Most teachers don’t even notice if what a student is wearing agrees with the dress code. When one does notice, a warning is usually first given. Stopping by his locker. Senior Gabe Alfaro goes through the day wearing a crew neck sweater and not being warned of his violation. 16 Breaking the Rules
