C arol Keesling The choruses of American girls and boys and Geisha girls consisted of fifty voices. The opera was given appropriate costumes of the Japanese and American people. We feel that the opera was a huge success due to the fact that every member of the cast put himself heart and soul into each individual part and to the splendid cooperation of each member of the choruses. Marguerite Ham, a sophomore, accompanied the opera. Marie McCarty, music supervisor, coached the Libretto and directed the music. The scenery for the Japanese garden was painted by the high school art class. 6? gms? 2?
