'A' A Cappella Choir lo Present 'Mikado'
Operetta For April 26 Paid Assembly
Spanish Classes Picture
LHS With Gardenia Pool
By Carolyn Mimms
The “Mikado,” an operetta by
Gilbert and Sullivan, will be pre-
sented by the “A” A Cappella choir
as a paid assembly April 26.
Yum-Yum Is portrayed by Nan
Kelly; Beep-Bo, Mary V. Dawson;
Pitti-Sing, Judy Sandy; Katisha,
Joyce James; Ko-Ko, Robert Sew-
ell; Mikado, Rodney Hill; Pooh-
Bah, Norris Rumsey; Pish-Lush,
Howard Tucker; and Nanki-Poo,
Carey Spikes.
Yum-Yum, who is betrothed to
Ko-Ko, her guardian and the Lord
High Executioner, lives in the
town of Titipu, Japan, with her
two sisters Beep-Bo and Patti-
Sifog. Yum-Yum does not wish to
marry Ko-Ko for she has fallen in
love with Pish-Tush, a wandering
minstrel, or so she thinks. Actual-
ly he is the King or Mikado’s son
in disguise because he was to mar-
ry Katiska, a most formidable mid-
dle-aged lady.
When Ko-Ko receives word that
he must execute someone within
a month or lose his position, he de-
cides on Pish-Tush. However, Pish-
Tush is about to take his own life
because he cannot marry Yum-
Yum. In order for Ko-Ko to mur-
der Pish-Tush within the month’s
time, he tells Pish-Tush to marry
Yum-Yum, as she will be a widow
in a month anyway. Then they
discover that when a man is execu-
ted, his wife is buried alive.
The “A” A Cappella choir is di-
rected by Mrs. Everett Carver.

La Rue Elliott, junior, was elect-
ed parliamentarian of Area I Fu-
ture Homemakers of America by
approximately 2,100 members at a
one-day convention in the Amaril-
lo Municipal Auditorium Saturday,
March 3.
At the meeting, attended by 106
FHA Chapters from South Plains
towns, chapters competed in a tal-
ent show and honorary degrees
were conferred for outstanding
work in FHA. The Rev. W. E.
Everheart, pastor of the Westmins-
ter Presbyterian Church of Ama-
rillo, spoke on “American Homes—
America’s Future.”
Twenty-seven girls of the Mary
Emma Chapter of FHA, Mrs.
Chardo Pierce, club mother, Miss
Gertrude Watson, Co-ordinator of
Home and Family Living in Lub-
bock Public Sqhools, and Mrs.
Jack Paige, Miss Patti Pipken,
. Mrs. Zoe Carter, and Miss Pat Mc-
Cutcheon, sponsors, attended.
Sue Moore, senior, was the vot-
ing delegate from Lubbock Senior
High School.
Lubbock High School now has
the luxury of a swimming pool,
but unlike many others, it is on the
third floor and is filled with gar-
denias.
Wait, before you run up to the
third floor and sign up for swim-
ming, here is the explanation. The
Spanish classes made projects to
be shown at open house and one
actually did include a gardenia
filled swimming pool. There were
also twb typical Mexican villages,
a reproduction of Zochimilco, and
scenes revealing several places the
students taking the Spanish trip to
Mexico this summer will tour.
Placed in a three-dimensional
wooden box, the people in the ex-
hibits were made of pipe cleaners,
clay, and dolls dressed in Spanish
clothes. Sawdust and wood shav-
ings were dyed green and used for
grass.
A second year Spanish class
made the exhibit with the swim-
ming pool which represented the
famous pool of gardenias at Fartin,
Mex., according to Mrs. Emmett
Burford, Spanish teacher. The
hotel in Mexico which owns the
pool is of Spanish architecture
with a patio within its walls which
features a fountain and many
flowers- It is a favorite tourist
spot and the people do swim among
the gardenias. Palm trees and
flower and refreshment stands
added to the Mexican atmosphere.
Zochimilco in Mexico City was
portrayed by a backdrop of the
river bank and trees. The river
scene included the floating trees
and flower gardens, small boats
with tourists, and boats selling
food and flowers. This project was
constructed by the third year
Spanish class.
Churches, schools, small huts,
and streets accented the two pro-
jects showing the typical Mexican
villages. People were seen as they
performed their daily tasks and
went to the market. The two first
year Spanish classes constructed
the two villages.
A revolving wheel revealed the
scenes the students will see on
their tour to Mexico. This second
year Spanish class project was
built in a circular platform which
was divided into four parts. The
scenes included the reproduction of
a market scene, of a bull fight, of
volcanoes, and of the Pyramid of
the Sun.
MHS Exchange Takes
Students On Tour
Through Art Gallery
Monterey’s exchange assembly
took Lubbock High School’s stu-
dent body on “A Tour Through An
Art Gallery,” Thursday, Mar. 8.
Guide Morris Sheats directed
Bob Burgess, Lynda Elmore, Donna
Mathus, and the Lubbock High
student body through the gallery.
The gallery settings were two huge
picture frames on each side of the
blue statue resembling “The
Thinker.”. Charles Blazi was the
statue.
The tourists were stunned as one
of the paintings, Carol Williams,
came to life and sang “Lovely to
Look At.” They were again stupi-
fied as the other painting, Irma
Galindo, did a Spanish dance to
“Escencia Espanola.” Jim Williams
portrayed the Spanish boy. “Just
One of Those Things” was the ex-
planation given by tourist Bob
Burgess, for these happenings.
Next was the Parade of Statues
as five statues came to life and did
a tap dance, chorus line routine.
The statues were Linda Chappell,
Kay Liner, Sarah Simmons, Mari-
lyn Warren, and Kathy White.
Amanda Ward and James Moeser
then followed with a piano duet of
“Stormy Weather” as Nan Bacon
did a ballet.
Again, the paintings came to life
as the Scarletones rendered “Walk-
ing My Baby Back Home.” The
Scarletones are Mary Bagley, San-
dra Boyd, and Delores Ward and
they were escorted by Cam Cun-
ningham, Dick Deilke, and Jim
Williams.
“A Good Man Is Hard to Find”
was pantomimed by tourist Donna
Mathus. When she finished the
song, her sweetheart of her youth,
Ronnie Chandler, stepped from the
picture frame to sing “A Woman
In Love.”
