Seniors present “The Daughter of the Regiment,” the French opera staged by the Cathedral Opera Company, was presented to students in June. The production was the climax of a year’s hard work by the 35 students involved. Sr. Frances Cooke and Fr. Richard Riendeau, dire ctors, worked closely with the Seniors in staging the pantomime. Students spent first rehearsal becoming familiar with the score and facial expression, both of which are important elements in lip-synchronized productions. In addition to the presentation at Cathedral, the students staged the opera for the Longmeadow PTA, Elms and Westfield State Colleges, and Saint Michael’s High School in Northampton. 20

Showmen perform on, off stage Combined efforts of novelty acts and soloists made Music in Two’s, the 1971 Minstrel, a great success. The work of such renowned artists as Rogers and Hammerstein, and Simon and Garfunkel rang throughout the entire revue. Along with some of last year’s participants, a number of new faces appeared. But for the performers, it was the preparations and what happened offstage, from the superball games in the bandroom, to the chicken-fights in the cafeteria, that will never be forgotten. 4
