And the Answer Is...
In the last edition of "Highlights from the Hill" we asked the following Mighty Mac trivia question:  
 
Cue & Curtain Players, originally named "The Villa Maria Players", presented their first production in 1914. For the next 55 years, a Sister continued to serve as producer, director and playwright for the group, which was renamed "Villa Maria College Players."  What is the name of this sister?

The Answer:
 
Sr. Donatus MacNickle, IHM
 
Thank you to all who participated!
