This year's addition to their reper- toire, the opera "Princess Ida," main- tained the tradition of excellent work- manship, in both the music and acting." A steady progress in the quality of the performances through the course of five years was evident, particularly in the spirit and ensemble of the choruses. Seventy-five members of the high school sang in the chorus, twenty-four being assigned parts as "leads." In order to give as many pupils as possi- ble a chance to benefit by singing the more difficult roles, a double cast had been trained for the leading parts, and sang their roles on alternate nights of the performance. There had been no attempt to select only the best voices to sing the principal roles, and, where- ever possible, pupils who had sung in the chorus last year were assigned leading parts this year, and vice versa. All Pupils Have Part Every pupil in the high school had some part in the production, and sev- eral classes of the lower school had helped to make properties. The opera is part of the music curriculum of the high school, the major part of the work having been done in the regular music classes. The scenery, costumes, and proper- ties were designed and executed by the art and shop classes, assisted by some of the parents. The lighting effects were worked out by a group of high school boys. The business man- agement was entirely in the hands of the high school pupils. From Tennyson Poem The story of "Princess Ida" is based on Tennyson's "Princess," and in true Gilbert and Sullivan spirit is a comic parody, in this case, cleverly ridiculing the nineteenth century feminist move- ment, women's aspirations towards a higher education, aloof from all mas- culine influence. The setting is a mediaeval castle, and the scene of the chorus of court ladies in the first act, hailing King Gama over the castle walls, was a very striking one, rivaling the colorful pic- ture of the beautiful Amazons in the last act, who failed to hold their Princess' castle fortress against the Prince and his companions. Difficult Score The comic elements in the opera were provided by King Gama, a take- off on a "cheerful" philanthropist, his three sons--the "Three Musketeers," Arac, Guron and Schynthius--and Cyril, all four of whom carried out with great spirit the humorous possi- bilities of the score. The dictum of the chorus singing was much better than last year. The opera is in blank verse and the music much more difficult than the others the school has attempted. SEEK BALL GAMES HERE The North Shore Athletics of Wau- kegan, a baseball team of colored players, is seeking games with north shore clubs during the approaching sea- son. Information can be secured by phoning Sam Wilson, Waukegan 1343-W. The Athletics won seventeen and lost two games last season. Mrs. Sam Stein of 564 Maple avenue, Winnetka, is expected to return home today from a visit of several weeks with her mother in Santa Barbara,
