WLHS Drama - 1939

1939 Operetta

The Operetta given this year was entitled "In the Garden of the Shah".  It was a
highly successful and entertaining production.  Costuming and staging were
especially effective.  The intensely dramatic and amuzing situations kept the
large audience highly entertained for a full evening performance.  The high
school chorus was ably assisted by the orchestra.  The production was under
the direction of Mr. Fred H. Wade. Besides the operetta, the chorus participated
in many concerts and entertainments.  The chorus won second in the state at the
