Tlu Ogallala High School Music Department this year took pleasure in presenting the Operetta. “Chonita”, on February 8th and 9th. “Chonita” is the story of a Gypsy romance which takes place in Hungary in the year 1880. The plot is laid around Chonita, the princess of the tribe who is cele- brating her eighteenth birthday. She leaves her tribe, due to a promise made to her mother, and goes to live with her mother’s folks who are white people. Her lover, Stephan, comes to visit her and finds her. however, with another young man who also loves her. The story ends when Chonita leaves the white people and goes back to her tribe to see her father, who is ill. Daya. her nurse, reads the stars and tells the lovers how foolish they are not to make up to each other. A gay and happy ending concluded the Operetta. Principal characters were Berdeen Pilger. Bob Carter. Bonnie Jean Boyd. Theron Thaden. Eldon Geisert, Madeline Roe, Raymond Martin, and Martin Keller. They were supported by a picked chorus of the Music Department. ♦--- The Junior High Operetta was presented by the Junior High students. It was the well-loved story of Scrooge and Tiny Tim, “The Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens. Every important qual- ily of the famous story was presented in a very charming manner. The costumes of the cast were similar to those worn in the time of the play. Miss Ahern acted as Director.
