The drill team and the band prepares for spring inspection. The entire cast is present to observe Annie and Frank shoot it out. AND LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT Gloria Coverdell as Annie and Dan Fitz- patrick as Frank gave outstanding perform- ances in the musical, Annie Get Your Gun. Achievement was also reflected in the interest in na- tional affairs, which the Creighton student displayed in the Regional Conference of the International Relations Clubs held at the University and especially in the Alpha Sigma Nu annual lecture. Italian Ambassador Manlio Bro- sio, formerly Ambassador to Moscow and to London, ad- dressed the Creighton faculty and students and received in turn the University ' s Distinguished Service Award. Mostly, however, the student studied, for he is a stu- dent. At least two events nevertheless occurred to distract his attention from comprehensives, research papers, and finals. The first was one of the happiest of annual pro- ductions at Creighton — and one of the most demon- strative as far as the need for new buildings is concerned — the spring musical. This year Annie Get Your Gun was the happy choice of a Creighton tradition that pro- duces musicals on an ambitious scale. The second high- light was the one universal to all students, the Prom. King and Queen Creighton XXXIII were crowned this year during the elegant May affair at Peony Park. Almost abruptly the spring semester has approached its finish. The second semester is past for most, and the entire Creighton career is past for one of the ever grow- ing graduating classes. The ' 56-57 schoolyear is complete; Creighton ' s progress continues.
