Qrchestra No high school is complete without an orchestra, Miss Piatt gathered to- gether a goodly number of musicians and has Weilded them into quite a credit- able bunch of performers. They aid in keeping things lively between acts and before the curtain, when the Junior and Senior Plays are being presented. Various combinations, duos, trios, etc., are gotten together from time to time from this group, in order that variety may be added to our Monday and Friday assemblies. One or two members of the orchestra may represent us in instru- mental solo numbers at the May music festival at Emporia. A school band is also included in the personnel. This band functions as a pep producer at the football games and during high school pep meetings. Page Forty

Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club was so great in numbers that it was impossible to have a studio picture taken of the entire group. This organization is also made up from members of all four high school classes: its forty-eight members are about equally divided among them. Girls' Glee Club is called upon to appear in Chapel, before the City Clubs, at graduation time, and for other special occasions. The girls took an active part in the presentation of this year's operetta. Page Thirty-nine

R obert Rhodes Comecraba, The Sheik ..,.............,...,......,..., Arthur Berry The three acts of the opera are supposed to take place in Persio, in the gar- den of Perunah, the Shah. Ted Harding and Billy Cummings, American min- ing engineers, accompanied by their colored servant, Sam, come to Persia to work the Shah's gold mine. Ted falls in love with Zohdah, and Billy with Lohlah, Zohdah's old nurse, pursues Sam, much to his discomfiture, thinking him her affinity in some other incarnation. The Shah has other plans for Zohdah's future and returns with Comecraba, an Arab Sheik, whom he wishes Zohdah to marry. The Sheik turns out to be flying under false colors, having been compelled to abdicate his throne. The Shah finds this out in time and orders the Sheik away, at the same time throwing Ted, Billy and Sam in prison because of their continued attentions to Zohdah, Lohlah and Nowobeh. Nowobeh makes the Shah see that by keeping the Americans in prison he is defeating his own plans in operating his rich gold mine, and so he is persuaded to give his consent to the weddings. As Ted says, All's well that end well and you may soon expect invitations to a triple wedding in the Garden of the Shah. Page For
