King Authority, Michael Sabo. Dramatics Final presentation of any dramatic production requires months of work on the part of the cast and crew for staging, props, makeup, costumes, and lighting. Aside from the SOUND OF MUSIC, Sister Ann Cecilia, I.H.M., and the de- partment produced an interpretation of Mathilda Rose Mc- Laren's A SONG IS BORN to climax the Christmas prepara- tions and set a joyous mood for the holidays. Earlier in the year, upperclassmen pooled their efforts for a humorous adap- tation of CAMELOT. The enthusiastic reaction the play re- ceived signified hearty frosh approval of their initiation. sm' s Inspired on a cold Christmas Eve, the words Silen, night, holy night flash into the mind of Reverenc Mohr, Robert Neilsen.

The Sound of Music Resounding praise rang from the walls of the Little Theater as the final curtain closed on the 1970 production. Dramatic enthusiasm had de- veloped eight weeks before at the beginning of try- outs and survived a grueling schedule of rehears- als. Sister Ann Cecilia, I.H.M., and Sister Ann Bernadette, I.H.M., gave unselfishly of time and energy to ensure perfection in the program. From a clutter of sets, props, makeup, cos- tumes, and people backstage emerged perform- ances laced with amateur excitement and profes- sional polish, a Winning combination on any stage. Behind the scenes, the challenges of the SOUND OF MUSIC united a large group of people in a concerted effort toward success.

Deeply concerned, Sister Margaretta, Sister Berthe, Mother Abbess, and Sister Sophia seek heavenly assistance to help them understand Maria. 64
