Un the evening of May 2. 1947. the students of Saint Patrick High School pre- d Q ll' 's comic operas HPatie'ice or Bunthorne's Bride. sented one of Gilbert an eu ivan: ' . ,. ,, . , Because of the excellent coaching received from our dramatics teacher. Miss McCarthy. the play was a great success. Such has been the case with all the plays at Saint lJatrick's School. which have been under her direction. Shirley lVlcDermott excelled as Jane the sometimes masculine pursucr of Bun- thorneis affections. Helen Nlcffllin as Lady lflla. Betty Ollalloran as Lady Saphire and Barbara Sullivan as Lady Angela graced the court with their beautiful voices and charming personalities. Gloria Sherman as Patience acted and sang with the finesse of an accomplished actress. Francis Hannon as Colonel Caverley portrayed magnificently a stern colonel who was proud of his uniform. John Reardon, as the Duke of Dunstable. was marvellous as an ollicer in the lfnglish Army. James Devaney excelled in his part of the major as did John Oillourke in por- traying Reginald Bunthorne, a great poet who despised poetry. John lVlcEllin, as Archibald Grosvenor. who recited laugh-provoking poems had the audience in laughter continuously. James Ulilrady did very well as Bunthorne's solicitor. IS that our efforts The u sroarious laulfhs and applause from tl1e audience assured 1 I e to entertain them were not in vain. Best of luck and success to the future plays and players of Saint Patricks High.
