George and Ruth Schnitzer, owners of the
Appliance Hospital on Stella Link, are kept
busy organizing the ticket selling campaign
for the "Yeomen of the Guard," the 13th
annual Houston Gilbert and Sullivan Society
production to be presented July 22-25 in
Cullen Auditorium on the University gf
Houston campus.
They Sell, She Sings
Gilbert And Sullivan
When the Houston Gilbert and
Sullivan Society wants tickets
sold, it gets the right people to
sell them—Mr. and Mrs. George
C. Schnitzer Jr.
So successful have the Schnit-
zers been organizing the G&S
sales campaign, that they have
been doing it “longer than I
would like to think,” as Ruth
Schnitzer put it.
The Schnitzers, who own the
Appliance Hospital at 8534 Stella
Link, and reside at 5506 Chelten-
ham, have been with the local
G&S company for ten years.
‘‘We started out simply inter-
ested in singing and putting on
a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta
every summer,” Mrs. Schnitzer
said, ,rbut we got involved in
Life Saving
Courses Offered
A second and final session of
Junior and Senior Life Saving
Courses for this summer will be-
gin July 18, at Bellaire Pool,
5111 Laurel Street, and Ever-
green Pool, Ave. ‘A’ and Ever-
green Street.
The minimum age for Junior
Life Saving is 12, and to be eli-
gible for Senior Life Saving you
must be 16 years old. Classes
will be held from 8 a.m. to 10
a.m. Wednesday’s and Saturday’s
at both, locations. The course is
scheduled to end August 15.
Any Bellaire girls or boys who
wish to take part in either the
Junior or Senior Life Saving
Course should register at one of
the pools the week of July 13.
selling tickets and sold so many
ourselves that the Society keeps
asking us to handle the job each
year.”
Although Ruth Schnitzer uses
the pronoun “we,” she really
should refer to herself alone be-
cause George has never sung
with the G&S group.
“I do all the work, but my
wife gets all the credit,” he said.
The mother of two, a married
daughter now living in Newport,
Rhode Island and a son attend-
ing Washington University in
St. Louis, Ruth serves the G&S
Society in the additional capacity
of secretary of the board of di-
rectors.
Her husband’s lack of vocal
ability and the job of selling tic-
kets hasn’t kept Ruth Schnitzer
from singing. Over the years she
has been in “Pirates of Pen-
zance” twice, “Iolanthe,” the
1959 production of “Yoemen of
the Guard,” and sang the role of
Peep-Bo, one of the “three little
maids,” in the 1958 “Mikado.”
Since George, formerly a re-
search chemist with a Houston
oil firm, opened the Appliance
Hospital three years ago, Ruth
hasn’t had time to attend all re-
hearsals, so she hasn’t been
singing in the operettas.
But the two do get to many
of the rehearsals, held every
Tuesday and Friday evenings
from 7:30 to 10, though, and
while they sort through the
boxes of tickets and bring their
lists up-to-date, they hum along
with the tuneful G&S music
which both love and know so
well.

Editor, The Texan:
May I take this oportunity to
express by means of you and

to you and the Bellaire com-

many kindnesses extended to me
during my year as an American
Field Service student at Bellaire

It was a wonderful year full
of new and enriching experien-K
ces and now that it is almost

new friends I have made.

LESSON SERMON
Spiritual baptism will be em-
phasized at all Christian Science
churches this Sunday.
“Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God” (Matt. 5)
is the Golden Text which will
begin the Bible Lesson on “Sac-
rament.”
The theme will be carried
through in related readings from
“Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures” by Mary Bak-
er Eddy, including the following
(p. 241): “The baptism of Spirit,
washing the body of all the im-
purities of flesh, signifies that
the pure in heart see God and
are approaching spiritual Life
and its demonstration.”
