O Fanciers of Gilbert and Sullivan, as most St. Thomas operetta goers have grown to be, were pleased by the delightful interpretation of the operetta Pirates of Penzance as presented by the combined choral groups of the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas, April Z1 and 22. The direction of Mr. Joseph Conlin with the aid of Mrs. Conlin was neatly effective in giving the musical show a spontaneity necessary for this type of production. A new unity was maintained by cutting the encores to a minimum and taking close care that the action never dragged. A combination of voice and stage presence in Mary Kay Barnett, Claudine Holl, Daniel Dough- erty, Bob Savard and James Gergen who held the leads was chiefly responsible for the success. The ease' of action of the large chorus was another important factor. Savard , . dogg that Bob h moxt 11'-ENUM pam Barnett tiff 1 4' Kay bt a ullw Propounded the d1lem1W- om: -is . ' Mf.

rw 1 is -1 54 QW Walla 0 After a gay round of music in Ireland Hall, those students claiming Irish ancestry engaged in a eight event contest with those boasting German stock, but it was a sad St. Patrick's day after 5 o'clock when Jim Byrne, promotor of the celebration, an- nounced the final score to be GERMANS 115 to a close 113 for the Irish. Clockwise, the pictures show Sarge Weber stoically directing the band in Irish airs, McArdle returning a volley for the Irish, Hautman and Murphy arguing over a bowling ball, a struggle in the water polo game, and finally Jim Byrne awarding the trophy to Bernie Fridell who directed the German activity in the absence of Howie Luebke, the captain. 4' 5' A C1 .
