Singers, drama award winners struggle into talent spotlight 32. Staging dramatic demonstrations and protesting sore-throat aggression, drama and choral students pop into the spotlight with award-winning showmanship. Best One-Act Play: Old Lady Shows Her Medals Best Supporting Actors, Actresses: Harlequins Best Director: Sr. Marie Dorothy Best Music Director: Sr. Catherine Camille Best Male, Female Vocalists: Choral class Staying off hoarseness and spring fever, the Choral class embarks on a rockumentary of soul, pop, and folk tunes. A motion picture motif inspires the song- sters to strike up current sounds, selecting The Gradu- ate as most likely to succeed. Masking set-backs with clever costuming and make-up, dramatists compile play-production booklets with imaginative overtones. Cardboard set pieces and a motley collection of personal props make the scene in student directed one-act plays. Drama students make the most of their classroom stage where imagination steals the show.

'Ibn Spanish 'infiltrates' traditional tongues Je vais tres bien, merci. Et vous? Religiously repeating simple sentences, French I students launch the construction of their second language. Concentrating on cultivating Parisian accents, French upperclassmen battle the ever- present problem of franglais while discussing the philosophies of Hugo and Rabelais. The romantic inilections of Spanish, though newly introduced this year, captivated dozens of students. St. Paul's third language had its share of happenings : senors and senoritas around the school can tell you with a wry smile of their delicious heartburn after dining at an authentic Spanish restaurant. Desregarding the Hnumbled hubbub of the modern tongues, Latin lovers patiently re-enact Cirero's scathing speeches against Cataline, and pump some life into the dead language with an excursion to the beautiful Masada. Whether he travels', tc the Eiffel Tower, the bullring, or the Coliseum, the student finds his opportunities branching out with his increasing knowledge of world dialects.
