This was a Polish feature portraying the Nativity of Christ. The final presentation of the year entitled Dress Reversal proved to be an exciting and humorous performance. Composed of an all-Iunior Cast, the play, under the supervision of Professor Edwin Dombrowski, dealt with a rehearsal for a high school play and its hilarious situations caused many hearty laughs from the audience. With dramatics on the upgrade again, Kanty can look forward to another extra-curricular activity in which to excel.
