Goods greets a startled Everyman from within a golden chest. A luxurious Marcia Kulesa refuses to follow a desperate Yolanda Unti. Star-bound Dominicanites Prolbellea' by Enthusiasm Achieve Dramatic Goals Drama, art of ancient Greece, that is ever new, assumes an unusual costume on the stage at Domini- can. Budding actresses blossom into modern day An- tigones. A girl needs only a speck of talent generous- ly mixed with days and nights of unending practice! A new daytime drama class familiarizes young starlets with speech and acting techniques, stage business, and other tricks of the trade. Each actress studies the role that she will portray until in her mind she ac- tually becomes that personality. Before the perform- ance begins, tiny butterflies Hit from player to player. But as the curtain opens, the motionless characters come to life in a just off Whittier production. Thus the Golden Age of Pericles lives vitally on through the twentieth century. fe i 'V jf ii ' th WL 'lt ll it 1 ll ' ,1 15. ' X ' x.

Pluck, screcch, snap! Another string bites the tile. Tedious tunefups require deft fingers and tone trained ears. Sharon Weier, Ellen Klu- cznik, and Michele Venet, three violin virtuosoes of the Dominican orchestra, prepare for a promising performance. 44 Music - Minded Teens, Calbtimtea' by Rhythm, Create Magic Moments A rapturous burst spreads downward from the godsf as the heavenly voices of the choral groups fill the auditorium. A harmony of notes, blended pre- cisely, gently rises From within the rails of the or- chestra pit. The audience listens entranced, while Dominican musicians create myriad moods and magic moments. The seemingly endless days and weeks of practice prove priceless as the wide-eyed listeners drift from Brahms to Beethoven, lifted by soothing melodies. This department discovers and develops the precious talent that these girls possess. Voices range from soprano to alto and the instruments vary from the violin to the French horn. Yet each is dependent upon the other for a perfected sound. Sharing their precious gift with others, these talented teenagers re- spond to a triple harmony - social, cultural, and musical. Endless hours of practice transform prosaic choral members Bridget Modlinski, Chris Lauhoff, Pam Ball, Fran Pampalo- na, and Dianne Schenk into Amahl's shinning shepherds. Gang way! A recording session at WIR promises an unforgettable experience as senior choral tours the Fisher Building. Solemn so- pranos ,lane Wilson, Val Winckowski, Carolyn Crank, and Brhilget Modlinski anticipate their Christmas Eve radio debut.
