Somethin like a Gilbert and Sullivan tradition has been started here at Corinth High with the successful presentation of another fine operetta from the hands of the old English masters of light opera. Con- tinuing in the auspicious “footsteps” of “The Mikado,” “1I.M.S. Pinafore.” pre- sented by the Music, English, Art, and Shop departments in November thrilled audiences anew with the old story of “The Lass Who Loved a Sailor.” Roger Clayton, in the role of Ralph Rackstraw, portrayed a young lad who loved in vain and did it with smooth effec- tiveness. Denise Eno displayed a fine piece of acting in tin part of Dick Deadeve and re- ceived a great response from the audiences. Barbara Rhodes was the young, beautiful and haughty daughter of tin» captain and the female romantic lead. Martin Meyer as the captain did a fine piece of uproari- ously funny acting in a difficult role. John Murphy was ruler of the Queen’s Navy as admiral Porter K.C.B. and played his part with terrific comedy effect: and Sandra Clayton portrayed the part of one of his ardent followers. Martha Price as Butter- cup kept the audience’s attention by her fine solos and comic acting. H. M. S. PINAFORE • THE ORCHESTRA
