Bloody daggers appeared and much wringing of hands went on as Mzicbeth bewailed his crime: Sleep no more. Macbeth does murder sleep. then the lights were dimmed and the audience hushed, as Lady Macbeth walked in her sleep across our own auditorium stage.

UO Oyonoz 'ipride of all St. Stephen High, hearts shall be thy throne. Again we sing a tribute to Monsignor. The feast of St. loseph this year was marked by a special program to honor Monsignor Gerz on his feast day. The Glee Club, attired in mar- oon choral gowns, presented a program of favorite melodies, Dol- ores Cercek gave the address and presented a spiritual bouquet and an offering for a solemn high mass from the students. In her address Dolores expres- sed the gratitude which we all feel toward our dear Monsignor who has always been a spiritual father to all of us. Monsignor fittingly closed the program with a talk about his patron, St. Ioseph.
