The outstanding productions of the year are the Christmas Cantata and the operetta. In true medieval style the entire school chorus presented the Hope of the Worldn in song at the Yuletide Season. While the voices rang out from the shadowy depths of the candle-lit hall telling the age-old story, drama- tic tableaux enacted the scenes depicting the coming o fthe shepherds and Wise Men to the manger of Bethlehem. Between piano recitals and voice programs, plans were being made for the hi-light of our musical year, the annual operetta. Our direc- tors turned to Spanish thoughts in their choice of Maritana, la light opera by William Wallace. The zestful Hola,' and C'Sing, Pretty Maiden were heard through the halls during many Weeks of practice. The pauses that refreshedn were those brief-brief moments of dancing and chatting while our directors discussedflij Cupid darts pierced new hearts! It was inter- esting to watch developments. The agonies of packed busses and late hours were endured to make this operetta the best of all. Judging from the praise of music lovers we fulfilled all the hopes of our Worried direc- tors: Sister Ann Regina, Father Ralph, Father Bonaventure, and Mrs. Giglio. When the curtain closed on the finale, Sing, pretty maiden , and Scenes that are brightest, may charm awhile .... that feeling of dis- appointment enveloped us because it was the fourth and last time Maritana would be given. To Father Ralph and Sister Ann Regina, we sing: May your names be great in story and your fame be gright with glory .
