The Rose of the Danube , the high school oper- etta, scored a brilliant success on February l3-l4, l939. Eurolania, a small country on the Danube River, was more blue than beautiful when ace-cam- era man Davis lGerald Bordnerl and director Perci- val McPipp iEric Clarkel arrived just in time to save all by producing a super-super special feature . However, Hitlerized Count Von Popova tlim Kellarl and his right and left hand men lEarl and George Long? had other plans boiling in the pot. Elma Tanner beautifully portrayed the title role, and Pat Lady Spitfire , the senior play, was a three-act comedy staged on November Zl-22, 1938. Heroine Ruth Dexter as the fiery heiress, Kay Sutton, ran into complications when attempting to elope with villain- ous Henri lCerald Bordnerl by stealing the car of two tramp college boys-Bud iDick Kleinl and Tom Martindale and Bona lean Cuise ruled as King and Queen, Others in the cast were Prime Minister Ga- looski lNecl Gatesl, triumphant Belladonna lChar- lotte Warrenl, demure Princess Daisy iMary Alice Peschl, Prince Karl llames Mannl, Pamela McPipp iBetty Steinerl, and Mrs. McPipp ijulia Kaufmanl. The charm of old Vienna was enhanced by the gaily bedecked chorus, beautiful scenery and dancing. Miss Frances Luke's tireless efforts as director were well rewarded, and she was ably assisted by Miss Wildar- ene Cole and by Miss Katherine C-arn, at the piano. lEric Clarkel. However, all ended happily at the school of Miss Prudence lCharlotte Warren! through the able assistance of jim Kellar, Frances Roahrig, Kathleen Wolfarth, Katherine Thompson, lo Ann Ellis, and Ellis Metheny.

After they had made their exit the Gypsies hastily prepared the throne for the Queen of May, who with her court entered with great pomp and ceremony. After the Queen had been seated, the Gypsies entertained her by dancing some of the gypsy dances. When they had finished, the American Tourists, who were seen leaving for Europe in the first scene, arrive, they wished to entertain the Queen and her court and do this by dancing the Big Apple. A group of Gypsy Tumblers came forth next and performed their stunts in order to gain the Queen's favor. Following this the Tourist Tumblers likewise seek to entertain the Queen. Then the Royal Heralds announced the Queen's special t u m b I e r s who performed with marked skill. Two beautiful dances were then presented.
