Niki Merrigan played a leading role and is shown seated holding a rose. Sherrill Mulhern directed the play. 14 'N f Lure of the Stage Calls Sionians One of arts that Sion girls find interesting and attractive is drama. The age-old smell of grease paint, the discovery of an ingenious talent for costume designing, the ability to lose one's own personality in developing a character of different perspective.., all add charm to the theater. Even an opportunity to be a bit of a Ham in an accepted sense lends fun to the occasion. Sion girls are no longer sur- prised to discover the tremendous sense of solidarity that being in a play produces with the cast whether the leading lady or a stage hand. Each is dependent upon the other to produce a well-done play. lf one cog breaks, the total production suffers. So while we have fun, we continue to learn. The burlap gowned chorus line is really some of the Junior Class depicting cave-woman fashions as part of their hilarious as- sembly program. LEFT TO RIGHT: Pam Hill, Ginger Griffith, Maria Garza, Channy Massy, Fran Logue, Donna Easter, Kathy Wolff, Jenny Keith and Jodette Ladd. Edna Perez QG1easonJ stole the show at the Junior Assembly. At the right, Peggy lncani K portrays a Roman soldier, while Lisa Phillips depicts Christ in a presentation of The Bread of Life.

Sionians Celebrate Christmas With the beginning of Advent, Sion 'students began preparation for the coming of Christ at Christmas. Daily, the beauti- ful suspended Advent Wreath was lighted in the auditorium. The days sped by bring- ing an ever-increasing awareness of Christmas both in the blessed spirit which the Sisters work hard to instill and also in the holiday spirit of fun and festivity. A Christmas pageant presented by the Sophomore Class, Christmas songs, a special Christmas Concert for parents and friends, caroling on the Plaza, the nnew creche in our lovely new Chapel.., all made our first Christmas in the new school ia thing of joy. hr Singing carols in the Plaza is a Kansas City traditon and the girls W from ur Lady of Sion did their part to spread Christmas cheer to the scurrying shoppers.
