Pieta. The outstanding musical achievement of the year was the production of the Choral Passion Play. Before the war the annual pro- duction of the Passion Play drew a large and a preciative audience from the far corners of tlliie State. This year's production was some- thing of a novelty in that there were no spoken lines by any of the actorsg instead, a mixed chorus presented the lines in the form of chor- uses and solos, while .a narrator wove the en- tire story together with a continual COIIIIDCD- tary. The combined choruses of Girls Catholic High and St. Joseph's are to be commended for their splendid rendition of the sacred texts. Orchids also to Fr. Tim- othy and Sr. Milberga, the directors, Fr. Hyacinth, the organist, Fr. Terence, the narrator, Fr. 'Paulmus and crew of stage-hands for their smooth presentation of 7, the action, Sr. Cletus for the gg Y splendid .lighting effects, 6 and the silent cast, chosen K from both schools, for their devout and insplrin por- X h trayal of the action. Every- r t one hopes that this produc- txonowlll become an annual IL affair. The Crucifixion scene. THE CAST OF THE PASSION PLAY.
