Thanks to the competent direction of Sr. Joan, Sion's first major theatrical enter- prise was a grand success. Many said it was the best high school play they had ever seen. Success did not, however, come with the snap of a finger. The cast and crew, directed by Sr. Joan and Mr. Jerome Stark (technical director) worked for sever- al months to perfect the joint Sion-Rockhurst production. Heading the cast were Cathie Dale as a vibrant, charming Eliza Doolittle; Mike Pace, fascinating and crisp as Pro- fessor Higgins; Bill Fischer, a refreshing and hilarious Alfred P. Doolittle. Excellent performances were also given by Mike Bortnick as Col. Pickering, Jane Hughes as Mrs. Higgins, Netta Dicker as Mrs. Eynsford-Hill, Mark Borserine as her son Freddie, Gayle Maurin as her daughter Clara and Julie Moffitt as Mrs. Pierce. Behind the scenes were Julie Batrick, as- sistant director; Beth Boeding, in charge of costumes; Alexander Barket, heading the sound department; Dave Maygers manning the lights and James Tobin as stage man- ager. 44
