High School Glee Cluh To Stage Opereifc Miss Sarah Robinson, directo: of the New Hanover High Schoo Glee club, is presenting “Naught; Marietta” by Victor Herbert 01 April 12 at 3:30 and April 13 a 8 p. m. in the High School audi torium. It is the story of a Kentuckian Captain Dick Warrington (Calvii Bullard), who has been sent tc New Orleans in 1750 in order t< capture Bras Pique, a notorious pi rate (Bobby Brindell). Though : woman-hater, he eventually falls ii love with irresponsible Mariett: (Sarah Anne Eaton), a high-bori girl, whc has left the convent t( see the world. She has come t( America with a group of “Cas quette Girls” sent by the King o: France to marry the settlers. The pirate is really the son of Lt. Gov ernor (Donald Brown), the Gover nor’s son sells his quadroon slave (Virginia Franks). Capt. Dick buys and frees her, but Marietta misinterpreting this thinks the cap tain loves the quadroon, so com plications arise. However, everything ends well with the beautiful chorus “Ah Sweet Mystery of Life”. Such fa miliar songs as the “Italian Street Song”, “I’m Falling in Love With Someone” and “’Neath the South ern Moon”, make this a produc tion for music lovers to enjoy. Col orful costimes, elaborate stage settings and quaint dances add greatly to the interest of the de lightful operetta. Mrs. J. T. Belcher is directing the dances; Cynthia Johnson is student assistant. * * • Miss Alice Farmer Named Junior House President At WCUNC In recent campus-wide elections at the Woman’s college of the Uni versity of North Carolina in Greensboro Miss Alice Farmer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.

The "Mei Ling,’’ which flows from a third-dimensional arm hole, is significant not' because here's a sleeve cut in a new way, but it helps to clinch the dolman ized silhouette—free and easy ful ness released above a hitched-up belt and a slim skirt—which is fast catching on. Interpreted in a group of after noon dresses and jacketed cos tumes designed by Maurice Rent ner—two of which are shown— the blousy sleeve and the bare neckline, also borrow from the Chinese, typify a new kind of high styled simplicity. In the black crepe afternoon dress, right, you see a subtle style made dramatic by means of line and detail limited to white accents of buttons, belt and saddle stitch ing which outlines third-dimen sional armholes. The beige basket weave wool, left, owes its distinction to the same easy silhouette. Here the Mei Ling sleeve is etched lightly with a welt seam, and dramatical ly accepted with checked Guate malan cotton turn-back cuffs.
