No event better typiiies the spirit of participa- tion cncouraffed at Friends' Select than the animal P production of one of Gilbert and Sullivanis oper- ettas. This year the students produced The Pi- rates of Penzance, one of the finest of the series. Particularly noteworthy was the fine cooperation of the cast in holding evening rehearsals in order that our tenor lead, .lack Anderson, an alumnus of Friends' Select, might be able to attend. Teacher Grace Clayton did a wonderful job of directing and supplying musical accompaniment for the per- formance. The leads for this year's production were: Carol Hancock as Mabel, the young heroine, Fran Suss- man, Adelle Thompson and Judy Love as her sis- ters, Edith, Kate and Isabelle, Stephen Wells as their esteemed father, the model of a modern Uperetta Major Gencralng .lack Anderson as the young pi- rate herog .loAnn Solotl' as his adoring Ruth, the A'Piratical Maid of all Workgn and Bob Ruben, thc sergeant in charge of the masterful police force. These characters, together with an interested and well-trained chorus, made the operetta one which will long be remembered in the annals of Select's Gilbert and Sullivan history. No dramatic presentation could he completed successfully without an earliest and self-sacrific- ing back-stage crew. This year's operetta was no exception. lvithout the invaluable assistance of Clyde Hoff, Fredryne Phillips, Master Ed, and all the others who gave up their time so willingly, there could have been no Pirates of Penzance this year.
