After an unpretentious beginning in 1946, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society now enjoys a prominent position in the University ' s entertainment sphere. Dedicated to the producing of all the operettas written by the famous Eng- lish pair, the organization is open to all interested students from any school or college of the University. Yeomen of the Guard, the group ' s offering for the fall semester, was well received by local audiences and critics. The production utilized the services of some 150 students in chorus and back-stage duties. Principal roles were sung by Rowland Mclaughlin, Cohleen Jensen, Rob- ert Elson, Joyce Edgar, and Jim Ueberhorst. In the springtime the Arboretum was open to all, but many students went to see Patience, the Society ' s pro- duction for the second semester. This lighthearted, gay musical satire provided timely warm weather entertain- ment for Ann Arbor theatre-goers. Gilbert and Sullivan Society activities for the school year were directed by Prof. Maynard Klein, Tom Wilson, Donald Decker, and Don Razey.
