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

Shown here is Sion's Glee Club, the Sion Singers, who achieved new heights of vocal perfection under the able direction of Mrs. Patrick Dennihan. A reflection of the hard-working ability and versatility of Sion girls is seen in whatever the Sion Singers undertake. This year, under Mrs. Dennihan (1.), the fifty girls who compose the group merited a superior rating in contests at Warrensburg, Mo., and at the Avila Music Festival. A first this year for the group was a grade school concert tour. The two yearly performances given by the Glee Club, the Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert, brought each season to its climax, and each group to its peak of perfection. Pictured below is the Freshman-Sophomore General Chorus, singing with the Glee Club at the Christmas Concert. 46
