THE BE
OF BAGDAD
The school operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad,” pre
sented in the auditorium on Friday and Saturday of
last week was enthusiastically received by both audi
ences. Our young singers, actors and dancers did full
justice to the tuneful music and the clever lines of the
book, excelling themselves especially during the Sat
urday performance. The choruses and solos were all
excellent. The lines were well spoken, at all times
understandable, displaying now and then touches of
genuine dramatic art. The dances, solo and chorus,
were remarkable for their smoothness of execution,
considering that many of them were extremely intri
cate. All in all, the show was presented with an air
and finish that was nearly professional.
Miss Alice Judd deserves the major part of the praise
for her direction, of the actors as well as of the many
departments and individuals who contributed their ser
vices and talents to the enterprise. Miss Trewett had
the dances in hand and their excellence spoke for her.
Mrs. Turney had charge of the music, which was bet
ter than ever this year. Of the many other people
who helped there is not room for individual mention
but suffice it to say that without the costumes, scenery
and properties especially made for the operetta much of
the color and atmosphere of the show would have been
missing. The whole thing was a triumph of ccoper-
tion and team-work.
All actors were splendid in their parts. It would
be unfair to single anyone out for praise. The cast of

Help them
During the severe wind storm of last week Che-
mawa’s tall white flag pole was blown to the ground.
Fortunately no one was injured or no great damage
done. It will be replaced some time in the near future.
As we go to the press the first few tiny flakes of
snow for 1932 are floating down from the sky. We
haven’t had a “white Christmas” for many years.
Maybe St. Nick will have the real article to travel on
when he reaches Chemawa this year.
