D uma 61116 Q 1 PATRICIA FARNAN ANNE ANDREWS LORRAINE FIELDS President Secretary Treasurer Established less than ten years ago, the Drama Club of Notre Dame Academy has become one of our most popular organizations. Under the in- spiring guidance of Mother Saint Mary Genevieve, our moderator, and the untiring efforts on the part of Miss Christine llowe, our director, the club has achieved another year of amazing success. This year for our major production, we turned from a tragedy to a comedy. The successful Broad- way show Life with Mother made its comeback in our little theatre during April. VVe will never forget the anxiety of first tryouts, the tiring hours of practice but the thrill that came when the cur- tain rose on opening night. Life with Mother is another success we have added to our repertoire of past performances. Our society is an active member of the National Catholic Theater Conference. Its purpose is to further interest in the Catholic Theater Conference by presenting plays with a high moral background. Each member of the Dram has, as her goal, the Drama key which is merited at the end of four years by earning of twentyone points. Backstage work, prompting and costuming all count toward the accumulation of points. It is obvious therefore, that the Drama Club benefits not only those who have dramatic ability but also anyone who is willing to do her part in our productions, though she may never shine before the footlights. The Cast of Life With Mother enjoyed an appreciative and responsive audience. Seated, left to right are: Beth Davies, Lois McGrath, Joanne Dooley, Joan Saccaro, Patricia Farnan. Standing: Donez Xiques, Mary Marsh, Anne Reidy, Joanne McVVilliams, Jayne Leahey, Frances Downing, Lorraine Fields, Joan Carroll, Joan Meek, and Phyllis Zarelli. ,fs-
