Songs range from fi
numbers and serious
love songs, to the sp >oky howls
o'f the ghosts.
A burlesque -of the old-fash
ioned form of En§ lish melo
drama, the opera pokes fun at the
British barons, their ancestral
duties and their wicked tradi
tions.
The opera takes place in a Cor
nish village where the local bar
on, Sir Roderic Murgatroyd, is
suffering under a curse of a witch
who was burned to death by one
of his ancestors. The curse which
was prophesied by the witch said
that each lord of Ruddigore must
commit a crime a day or die a
•torturous death.
Tries lo Escape Curse
Determined to escape his in
herited curse, the timid baron sets
out to avoid his foretold fate.
His methods and the people who
become involved with him, in
cluding his “ghostly ancestors,”
create many funny situations.

dore Pauloski as Richard Daunt

T
■RUTHFULLY we enjoy photography tremendously.
SOME of the things we do accidentally and intentionally
causes this enjoyment. Sometimes it gives us a~ pile of
trouble. Such as, for example, doing all our sorority com
posites in white blouses last year.
•jpHIS year, merely on ahunch; we decided to use vignettes
* with high key lighting. If you're interested we suggest
that you ask the Alpha Xi Deltas and the Kappa Deltas, who
just received their proofs, for their comments concerning
this lighting. If the tone of their comments parallels the quan
tity of orders for portraits from these proofs, then we know
that this new lighting technique is a happy accident for us.
■ IUMAN nature is a strange thing. Much as we tell people
■■ that our quality is considerably lower in later November
and December because of the Christmas rush, we find that
most people still prefer to watt until just then to have a
Christmas portrait taken. It might even be fair to lower our
prices around that time to be commensurate with our quality.
pERHAPS for some of you, a fine portrait may be rather
■ expensive at this time. If that be the case, pay only part
of your bill now and the remainder-after Christmas. But do
get a portrait to your folks by Christmas.
*we won’t be doing fraternity composite* until next year.
