Dramatic Society Auditorium lights were dimmed, a sudden hush fell upon the audience of parents and students and then the play was onfsuccessfully too-be it the one-act play, the operetta, the musical comedy or the prose drama. A well-balanced program of public speaking and dra- matics has made the Seniors of 1941 near professionals at the footlights. This fact was again em- phasized when in September we witnessed the dramatic readings for Monsignor's Feast Day. One of the high lights of the year came in December when the magni- ficent scenes of the Christ- mas Cantata were presented. This year the Madonna and soloist was Elizabeth Cas- sidy '41. The Prologue and Scriptural background was read by John Donovan '41 who had so well represented the school in oratory throughout the year. John Stuart, Claire Baldwin, Rena Horan, Mary Roche, Patricia McCormack, Mil- dred Leader, and Margaret Carmody held other impor- tant roles. In the latter part ofjanu- ary the Senior Class success- fully presented the musical comedy, The Count and the Co- ed, and within that produc- tion another play entitled, The Bellr of Beezujoleeir.
