Operetta One of the most important auditorium programs given this year was the operetta, An Old Kentucky Gardenf, Mrs. Brown was in charge of it and the characters were chosen from the music classes. The operetta was based on the music of Stephen Foster. The story took place in an old Ken- tucky garden in the year 1850. Jeanie and her brother, Philip, live with their Uncle, Colonel Staunton. He is a very staunch Southerner and is greatly opposed to Richard Morgan, a Northerner and Philip's college roommate, who wants to marry Jeanie. The Clonel later forgot his prejudice against Richard, however, and everything turned out happily.
