i Opera HE school opera 'KThe Fireflyn was as charming as its name. The dancing, the music, the costumes, the humorous dialogues held our interest throughout the per- formance. We were captivated by the saucy Nina, and the winsome, coquettish Suzette. We were convulsed with mirth by Mrs. Vandare and Jenkins, her confidential secretaryv. Each moment brought on a new character Bessie Jovts . . . A or another laugh-provoking incident. We all longed to join the group of merrymakers, who were the characters in The Fireflyn and join them in their rollicking fun and thrilling romances. The music of The Fireflyn was written by Rudolf Friml. The libretto was by Otto Hauerbach, a Utah boy. It was made up of a cast of twelve principals, and a chorus of over eighty-five, with a group of twenty-four special performers. The chorus formed a background both colorful and harmonious for the leads of the opera. Each of the principals gave an interesting interpretation of his part, and acted it with a sincerity and an enthusiasm seldom surpassed in school productions. The singing of Evelyn Gray, as Nina, the Eirefly,,, thrilled us with its beauty, and carried us away from humdrumness into a land of ecstasy and romance. The comedy of Jenkins and Suzette, played by Robert Pressler and Mildred Spafford, sent us into gales of hearty laughter. The melodies, the acting, and the beautiful scenery gave an atmosphere of reality to the production. The music was under the direction of George H. Durham. Miss Bessie Jones was the dramatic coach, Miss May Billings was costume director, and N. D. Thatcher was business manager. K'The Firefly with its lilting melodies and its witty conversations, offered one of the finest productions ever featured by the L. D. S. High School. The artistry and success of the presentation displayed the fine cooperation of the actors with the coaches, and an enthusiastic reception by the student body. From time to time the humorous situations and catchy tunes of The Eireflyv come to us. It was a happy presentation which we can never forget. -WQQ13 ofa--

College of which we students are so proud, has developed each and every phase of an ideal high school. Our alma mater fq has adopted progressive theories, and has stood firm behind the issues. Grganiza- if iff' tions of all beneficial types have been formed. Among these, one of the most 1-.,. . . . . f 15371 prominent is the band. It has proved itself to be well worthy of honorable mention, 3 53 in the fields of both education and entertainment. The band has played several ,if f times in assemblies and devotional, and has been faithfully present at all football and basketball activities. Althou h there is a ersonnel of fort -two, our band was not considered lr H g P . Y absolutely complete. Under the leadership of Brother Asper, the band entered the High School Contest. Every member of the organization was confident of winning 135511 the contest, if hard work and perseverance had any influence upon it. The contest number, very beautiful-and very diihcult-was the Hungarian Melody, and seemed to be mastered in every sense by the L. D. representative team. The band was also XJ' J invited to play several numbers on the campus lawn on May Day, and with the able g. help of Brother Asper, they planned some very lovely music for that occasion. 71 The main sections of the band were led by two competent members. Gerald 'il Whittaker is solo clarinet player, and all the solo trumpet divisions are taken by Z gli Stan Howells. Both are talented players, and have much opportunity to make N5 fy-I something of themselves. In fact, talent in this special line was scattered generously . Qif'L among the members of this band and we hope they are all able to take full advantage gf2 'Y of it. To Brother Asper we owe our thanks for the way in which he continued the Y-2 work begun by the former supervisor, Brother Lym. ,,-.,,,,, -..s .4 '? 1 el :af J .Ire Wx Vz.
