Paxton High School Rcjicctor. j General Department 1 Reflecting; the Interests of the High School as a Whole THE COMING HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT — A CHORUS OF FORTY VOICES Trained by Miss Nora Ryan—Music Director in the Paxton Schools. Assisted by Miss Felmley. On Friday evening, February 18, the members of the Choral Club of F. H. S. will present an operetta, “Gipsy Queen”, at the Coliseum, under the direction of Miss Nora Ryan, assisted by Miss Mildred Felmley. This is a novel form of entertainment and one which should receive the hearty support of the entire community. The cast will include a chorus of forty high school students, all of whom have been working enthusiastically for its success. The operetta is divided into two acts; Act I opening with a scene in a gipsy camp. The gipsies are seated around the camp-fire awaiting the return of Mother Grunt, their l:ader As she enters, the gipsies sing a mer ry song of welcome. Mother Grunt is accompanied by Rosalie, a Tyrolien queen, whom she has induced to leave her kingdom and join the band of gipsies. After a short time Rosalie is ready to return home, but is prevented from so doing by the magic spell which has been woven around her by the band of gipsies. At night, however, she escapes, but is closely pursued by the gipsies. The curtain rising for Act II reveals Rosalie wandering about a dense forest. Finally fatigued by the exciting events of the day, she falls asleep and is discovered by a band of fair.es. The Fairy Queen awakens her with a wave of her magic wand and then invokes the appearance of the fairy palace Rosalie, much bewildered, s invited to remain with the fairies, but she pleads to be taken home. The fairies honor her request and conduct Rosal ie to the Mountain border and then disappear. At this time the Tyroliens enter the forest bewailing the loss of Rosalie. The fairies reappear and are questioned concerning their lost queen. At a signal from the queen, the fairies present Rosalie sleeping on the throne of her former triumph. She advances and is welcomed home by her loyal subjects. The operetta closes with a grand chorus of all the cast expressing their joy in the safe return of Rosalie. Lecture By Mrs. Dr. Shamel. Some weeks ago, the high school was favored by a special lecture on Physical Culture. The speaker was Mrs. Dr. Shamel, of Gibson City, who is one of the regular lecturers of the 111 no's State Farmers’ Institute, and who was here as one of the speakers and instructors at the meeting of the Ford County Farmers’ Institute. Mrs. Shamel’s talk was attractive, interesting, and in its content, especially appropriate for a high school audience.
