Senior Nuns Journey To Las Vegas A superb, fun frolicing, well-rounded comedy. This was just one of the many compliments the senior class received after their production of Seven Nuns at Las Vegas on November 15 and 16, 1956. The play was the biggest hit ever produced at Hall both dramatically and in attendance with approximately 1,100. The comedy was under the direction of Mrs. Lynne Nimee. Kathleen Dowling and Janice Weissenburger were student directors.
