Hats Off The operetta given by the members of the choir and glee club on March 22 under Mrs. Strong's direction was a lively production based on the organiza- tion of the United States Navy under the command of lohn Paul Iones. Full credit goes to Mrs. Strong and the cast, and special credit goes to Emma Lee White whose faithfulness and untiring efforts are greatly appre- ciated. T he action took place in the Mermaid Inn, a waterfront rendezvous for the sailors, officers, and their Sweethearts who gathered to dance and make merry under the friendly eye of Dame Bly, the proprietress. The action was enlivened by several colorful dance ensembles directed by Mrs. Davis. The story was concerned with the efforts of a renegade captain, Pierre Landairs, to destroy the influence of Iones. Tones and his friends defeat the renegade's plans and the operetta ended on a note of celebration honoring Iohn Paul Iones and the flag of the new union.
