The operetta was directed by Josephine Conboy and the large audience which witnessed its presentation, was very much pleased with the excellence of the production. The beautiful love plot in this story was woven around the mysterious green jade ear, the disappearance of which causes consternation both in the Courteny home and among those responsible for its disappearance. Horace Ferguson, the “famous marksman”, who is a guest in the Courteny home is challenge ! not only upon his marksmanship, but also concerning his knowledge of the missing ear. Both John Endicott, Mary Ann's bashful aviator lover, and the Sheriff had reasons for believing that the “guest” from New York was not just true to form. Leading roles were played by Marshall Cook, Clara Hensel, Roland Oelschlaeger, Herbert Kollmorgen, Charles Beckenbauer, Lumir Pospishii, Cora Frankfurt, Deliene Hettrick, Grace Elliott, Iva Zeplin, Raymond Tonjes, Melvin Poeschl, Murray Wester-beck, Winona Miserez, Leslie Stoltzman John Meeske, Paul Baumann, and Willard Paul.

Miss Hurdur.i, lh« ‘ lass spo.uor and director of the play, received a gift from the Juniors in appreciation o: h •»• v;o-l . The action at first centered around a masquerade at the home of the self-made millionaire, Quackenbush, well played by Robert Heilman. Assisting him as hostesses were his two charming daughters, Rose and Violet, played by Clara Hensel and Grace Sass, and his sister, Daffy, Cora Frankfurt. Simpson, his secretary, George Gals ter, and the “black boy,” George, the butler, Marshall Cook, also were deeply tangled in the plot. Guests at the party were Reggy, the lazy one, Leslie Stoltzman, the Squire from Onion Center, Lumir Pospishil (and we’ll long remember that bouncing hat); his niece. Pansy, Dolores Goranson; and the astronomer, Jack Dawes, played by Elmer Pahl. (Probably the first time Elmer ever turned an eclipse). The entire party was transferred to a South Sea Island of Tom-Tom, in the last two acts where all were busy treasure hunting. Here they encountered a band of fierce armed savages, headed by the general Bula-Bula, Lotus Maack, and the Queen, Lula-Palaza, Irene Poledna. The colorful scenes, brilliant costumes, and the appropriate music by the high school orchestra added much to this successful production. Pag-' Eighteen
