can citizen in 1933, is the first

story of the Cross into English
and bring it to America. He is
now 33.
The play was first presented by
monks in Luenen and it wasn't
until the 17th century that lay
men were permitted to take part.
The Meier family has held the
ner by collecting several people's
hobbies and presenting them for ob
servation of club members.
Some of the collections included
Mrs. Mabel Winn's tea towels, Mrs.
Carl Rosenow's canes. Mrs. Vincent's
post marks from envelopes and a

Carload of Scenery
Each summer, for three months,
it will be presented in the Black
Hills of South Dakota in an open

manent home of the Passion Play,
in the same way as it has had its
home for centuries in Luenen,
Germany.
A full carload of lighting and
scenic equipment is necessary to
produce the play. Stage settings
include the house of Pilate, the
Temple, the house where the Last
Supper was held, the Crucifixion,

the Last Supper, Gethsemane and
the Ascension become glorified
