SECTION □ i ni the - BLUE AND WHITE February 9, 1938 Newport, Pa, Page 1 ACTIVITY NIGHT Operetta Principals Chosen All students interested in trying out for principal parts in Operetta report to Library after school. This was the announcement that was on the Bulletin Board one morning. All during the day such questions as, Are you going to try out for the Operetta? or » iio do you think will get the leading parts? were buzzing around the school. That evening, after school, there was much commotion in the Library when about thirty students reported for principal tryouts. After much straining of voices and stretching of necks to reach certain high notes, the principal characters were chosen. These were chosen not only for their tone of voice but also for their volumn. For the two leading characters, Ruth Heisey and Albert Dorwart were chosen. Ctuer students who secured parts are: Rooert Kough, Marjerie Lupfer, Samuel Henry, Robert Jones, Betty Acker, Jean Gelnett, Martha Hultzapole and Herbert Enck. There are a few principal parts yet to be chosen. Operetta practices have been started and with the cooperation of teachers and students, An Old Kentucky Garden should be a great success.
