BY SINGING at the annual Graduation Exercises, the ', Iona Glee Club completed a most successful year as an Iona activity, This splendid record is 3 fitting tribute to the student members and to the instructors who made it possible. This year the Glee Club undertook a most difficult pro- duction, especially for an amateurgroup: Gilbert and M, Whne Sullivan's Operetta, H. M. S. Pinafbreu. Many hitherto ' unencountered problems had to be 'solved in staging such a musical. For example, all the clfxaractersihad to be able to sing, as well as act and for this reason all male parts except one were given to members of the Glee Club. 9' After a few weeks of work, Brother Hickey took over the direction of the entire procliuction and began the diffi- cult task of selecting suitable vocalists for the main parts. Not being.ab-Ietct find a soloist capable of singing the part of Ralph Rmfksfraw, it was necessary to turn to the col- lege, where, fortunately, Michael Rotando volunteered to play the part. As usual, the feminine roles were por- trayed by girls from the College of New Rochelle, who gave admirable perfqffftances. Jean Gulltirian played the feminine lead, Josephine, while Nancy Spain and Peggy Camarata ably handled the parts of Buttercup and Cousin Hebe, respectively. The greatest difficulty encountered was in the selecting of a singer to play the part of Captain Corcoran. Finally, after several other candidates had been given trials, James Hession was chosen for the part. Jim is well remembered for his interpretation of the Whiffenpoof Song in last year's G. l. P. production. His performance as the Captain was worthy of any stage.
