Dear Hix News Editors, Please post my query. Since
many of you from the class of 1960 shared our earlier grades too, I'm wondering
if anybody out there remembers putting on Gilbert & Sullivan's "The
Mikado" in junior high? I think it was the 8th or 9th grade.
A note from Jeanette Arnold Bemberis...her note follows... Hi...Denny
Tillman wanted to remember the junior high production of The Mikado.
put
our heads together and think it was probably in the spring of 1956.
Polly
Crammer was Yum Yum and
Phoebe
Oliver was Katisha, both were in the class of 1959.
Ivars was Nanki Poo ( he couldn't sing, but was good at memorizing the
lines!)
Kathy
Millevolte was one of the three little maids.
Bonnie
Wilbur and I were in the chorus.
Harold
Berkowitz was one of the characters also-can't remember which one. Recently
Ivars and I ushered at the Richmond Opera Company's lavish production of
"The Mikado" and while we thoroughly enjoyed the trip down memory lane we
were both amazed that we remembered so many of the lyrics to the songs after all
of the years that have passed. Our
junior high production was a great experience and the memory is still there!
