Music and drama stage Tin afore ' Sponsored by the Music Club, the staging of the musical comedy H. M. S. Pinafore was an impressive production. Complete with choreo- graphy, costumes, and an elaborate set, the play was an ambitious undertaking. The play is a satire on British bureaucracy, formality, and stuffiness. H. M. S. Pinafore, Taylor ' s fall musical, was directed by Dr. Edward Hermanson. It was per- formed Nov. 1 and 2 in Shreiner Auditorium. Kathy Fitzpatrick plays the role of the captain ' s daughter. The name is SIR Joseph Porter KCB (Steve Corey), First Lord of the Admiralty. As Josephine and Ralph sing, Sir Joseph ' s cousin (Ruth Laughlin) saw her share of the glory slowly receding. 24
