FOR the tenth successive year, Cheltenham presented its annual Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta. The selection, for this year, fell on The Pirates of Penzance. A cast of fifty-eight, in collaboration with the school symphony or- chestra, made it a most successful production. The Slave of Duty, as the operetta is sometimes called, was por- trayed by James Sefton. The Pirate Chief, under whom the latter was duty bound, was well characterized by Donald Toner. Major General Stanley, the father of all the maidens in the drama, was well enacted by Bernard Plesser. Marjorie Conklin, who played the part of Mabel, the leading lady and youngest daughter of the Major General, thrilled those present with her lovely voice and gave many encores which were demanded by the audience. Cast in the parts of Samuel and Ruth, were Joseph Morrisey and Jean Franklin, both of whom did on excellent job. James Goodpasture was cast as Sergeant of the police and he and his companions provided many a hearty laugh. Doris Ashworth, Betty Burk- holder, and Jane Ayers played the parts of Kate, Edith, and Isabel. Music directors, Messrs. Walker D. Taylor and W. Clair Hower were assisted by Frank Rothwell, class of '33, who, for the first time, directed the show.
