Intrigue, Romance, Music
Combine in 'Desert Song'
A
delightful combination of Arabian intrigue, a
young French girl's desire for romance, Sigmund
Romberg's music, the lyrics of Otto Harback,
Oscar Hammerstein II, and Frank Mandel, and the
voices of the St. Anthony Mixed Chorus will be
this year's operetta, "The Desert
Song," to be presented April 19-20. |
An
almost continuous stream of rosaries and
many Masses were offered for Sister by
parish and school organizations and her
many friends.
After her
Solemn High Requiem Mass and a eulogy
preached by the Rev. Joseph Raible,
C.PP.S., St. Anthony pastor, Sister was
buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery,
Thursday, February 20. |

"It
was a lot of fun and work,"
say Liz Bojalad 217, and Mary Ann

this Mardi Gras a big one.

SSND's Enter
Public Relations
The
Holy Father's expressed desire that
religious orders engage in public
relations work has led the School Sisters
of Notre Dame to undertake two such
projects - a Notre Dame quarterly
magazine and a Dads' Club for fathers of
Sisters in the order.
The
magazine, still unnamed, will first
appear in print next fall and will deal
with the activities of the order and its
work in the Church rather than with only
the nuns themselves.
All
southern and central Michigan fathers of
present Notre Dame Sisters were invited
to attend the first meeting of the
Detroit Notre Dame Dads' Club at St.
Anthony on February 16.
Reverend
Mother M. Hilaria, commissary general,
and Sister Mary Hester of Mount Mary
College told the men how much their
sacrifice of their daughters means to the
work of the congregation.
Each father
present was called upon to give his name,
his daughter's name, and the place where
his daughter is stationed.
In entering
the field of public relations, the
Sisters hope to show |

Leads Double Life
The Red Shadow
(Gildo Ferranti) is a Frenchman, Pierre, who
desires to be a "Moroccan Robin Hood."
Disgusted with the brutality of the French army,
he assumes a double identity as the half-wit son
of General Birabeau (Herb Dempz) '.and the Red
Shadow, mysterious and daring commander of a
small group of riffs, dedicated to fight against
injustice.
His
love for Margot (Kathy Mazzoline) initially
prompted him to seek military glory, but when he
assumed the role of a stupid, timid boy, he lost
all chance of winning her love (as Pierre). As
the Red Shadow, he has a much better chance.
In
the meantime, however, Margot has become engaged
to Paul (Dick Kordos),?a young captain whose duty
it is to capture or kill the Red Shadow.
Azuri Interferes
As if
matters weren't complicated enough, Azuri (Denise
Abood), a cast-off love of Paul's, appears on the
scene, determined to ruin all chance of marriage
between Paul and Margot.
The
comic element is shown by Benjamin (Chris
Wrosch), a news correspondent, and his secretary,
Susan (Arleen Hansen). Susan finally catches her
man, but until then — the chase commences.
Ali,
Sid, and Hassi, followers of the Red Shadow, are
played by Dan Azarovitz, Dave Beckman, and Dan
Rivard, respectively.

Former
SAH Principal
Dies on Guam Island
Sister
M. Eucharita, S.S.N.D., former St.
Anthony teacher and principal, died
Tuesday, February 11, on the island of
Guam in the Mariana Islands.
She was
superior of the first establishment of
Scholl Sisters of Notre Dame on the
island in 1949. |
In
the eight and a half years since then
three schools and an aspiranture were
founded there by the Notre Dames.
Two weeks
before, when she expected to return to
this country for medical care, she wrote,
"The thought of returning to the
States brings no joy with it for I had
felt my life's work was to be here on
Guam." She wrote to thank for a
donation from the Anthonader Mission
Unit.
Before
entering the Notre Dame community in
1924, Sister had wanted to join an order
completely devoted to missionary work.
But her confessor insisted that after she
joined the Notre Dames, God would take
care of it if He wanted her to be a
missionary. Twenty-five years after that,
she led the Notre Dame missionaries to
Guam.
St. Anthony
was the only other mission at which
Sister Eucharita taught since she began
her teaching career in 1926. She taught
first in the grade school, then in high,
and was principal of the high school the
year before she went to Guam, 1948-49. |

This
was before the Communists came in 1945
and Mr. Milkovic fled to Austria. From
there he emigrated to America.
In America
Mr. Milkovic was greatly impressed with
the freedom of the people to say what
they think for or against something or
somebody. "I also think the American
people have more respect for their
government," he says. |

favor of a more suitable one for evening

SAH'ers abandoned their usual identities
as Mary, Joe, or Mabel to become Mother
Goose characters. Norm Pohl 314, with
straw hair confiscated from a packing
box, portrayed the "Old Woman Who
Lived in a Shoe," carrying the
revealing sign: "4 Sail:

Mike
Feeney, five - year - old brother of
Kathy 217, was "Jim Cricket" in
that room's prize-winning

monster that took about two months to
build.

the roles of "Fairy Godmother"
