HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS The first production of the year sponsored hy the chorus was the presentation of Berta Elsmiths Arrangement of Humperdinck's charming opera Hansel and Gretel at Christmas time. Two performances were given, at one, a matinee, there were 500 children from the surrounding community in attendance. The principal characters were portrayed by Jean Armstrong, Mildred Hyde, Doris Pratt, Dale Smith and Ralph Whotstone. On April 18 and 19 the Operetta Who Discovered America? was given. It seem that Congress, desiring to settle officially, once and for all, who discovered America, has appointed a Board of College Presidents to hold a Hearing, listen to the advocates argue the claims of Columbus, John Cabot, Vespucci, and Eric the Red and finally naira the true discoverer of America. Dr. Cerebellum, Prof. Diction, General Target and Admiral Broadside are all on tte Board of Judges. The ex-Admiral and the ex-General, wedded to the tradition of tte Army and Navy, respectively, agree to disagree on all possible questions whatsoever. The Doctor has offered the use of his estate for the Hearing, which, though beirg broadcast is of semi private character. Towards the end of the evening Who Discovered America, as a popular subject suffered an eclipse. The Doctors advocate el forts were tlirown xnto the discard, while the brain-trust of Congress concentrated upon solving the problem of his daughter, as the nation stood by. A happy solution was found, even though it still left to posterity the final verdict as to who actually discovered America. The Principals in the Operetta were Ruby Hamilton, June Hicks, Eda Huston, Elizabeth Whetstone, Ellen Henshaw, Helen Kennedy, Robert Ballentine, Robert Janes, Deal Chapman, Louis Baird, Marion Smith, Stanley Carrick, Clayton Robison, Melvin King anl Eugene Whitcomb. The rest of the chorus were College Presidents, Gum-chewing girls. Military ani Naval Cadets.
