HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OPERETTA. Miss Ede, music instructor of the I school, has made her decision for the cast of the annual operetta, given by the high school. The name of the musical play is "Tulip Time," a very catchy Dutch operetta. The cast, as they first appear in the setting, are: Hans, a young Dutch ap prentice, is to be represented by Ellis Thomson, who ably furnishes most of the comedy, as can be gathered from the opening words of his entrance on the stage: "Refrain, desist and shtop! Leave off, und also cease!" The part of Aunt Anna. Christiania's guardian. Is to be played by Margaret JNotson. Katinka. a village maiden, will be acted by Anna McDaid.

He represents the con stable, sheriff safety director and the fire department He also furnishes much comedy by his language, which is the real, pure, unadulterated old Dutch. He oftimes finds his tongue badiy twisted, as the following shows: "Sure dey iss. But ain't I got a ma levalent heart? I vant to render a lit tle desistance. Mit malice for all und mit charity for none dots I'm. But dot ain't all." Christtania. a charming Dutch girl, is played by Patricia Monahan. Theophilus McSpindle, "an authority on botany and in charge of a group of students from America, is acted by John Conder. McSpindle tries to keep the two worst culprits.
