Chardon High to Present
Operetta on March 6 and 7

don high school students in the
school auditorium on March 6
and 7.
The scene is in New Orleans
in the early 18OO's, and Ronny
Walsh portrays the pompous
Gov. Aubrey, who, because of
his lack of intelligence, decides
at one point in the play to
have himself Kidnapped to avoid
making an important decision.
Next in order of appearance
are Eugene DeLorme (Ronald
Johnson). Maxine Grandpre
| (Terry Perkins) and Yvette
Millet (Audrey Grumney).
Maxine is the wealthieSt citi-
zen of New Orleans, and he
believes himself to be the next
governor. He is just about as
pompous, but slightly more
stupid than Aubrey. Yvette is
a girl of about 20, ward of
Maxine, who has raised her
from childhood with the intent
of marrying her. Yvette is ap-
parently content with this idea
until Eugene comes along.
Beverly Seaman, as Manon
De Lange, has the leading spea-
king and vocal part, pairing
off with Bob Finchley, por-
trayed by Bob Cheney. Manon
is actually a French countess,
known as the mocking bird,
who has come to save New
Orleans from the Spanish. She
is assisted by Bob Finchley, a
young Virginian, who comes
to her aid in the beginning
only because of her beauty,
but later becomes a real en-
thusiast in the cause.
Denny Grau and Dick Car
yer are the two seafaring men
in the operetta. Denny, as the
pirate Jean LIE Fargo, adds a
little spice to the show in the
necessary spots. Dick, playing
Captain Beloit, comes to the
aid of the French cause.
When the Spanish send a
representative to the city to
take possession, they send Don
Aurelio (Ralph Temple) who is
to act as the Spanish governor
of the new province, but who
runs into trouble taking possess
ion.
Two local residents are the
MarquiSe (Karyl Hale) and her
niece, the Countess ruth Ann
Wedding), who honestly believe
all this fighting is "the most
exciting things we've ever
Seen!"
Chloe and Pierre, portrayed
by Helen Hills and Gerry Chap
man respectively, are the two
negro servants of the New Or
leans citizens. Chloe also has
an avocation of telling peoples
fortunes.
Four immigrant girls are Pat
Carpenter, Janice Schad, Linda
Bushnell and Earla Hills.

This compares favorably with

along. He spotted the white
haired justice and hastily called
on another official. But the Off

Justice Burton's tickets weren't
there.
After a hurried phone call,
Justice Burton was dispatched
to The Star Building in a taxi.
An aide to William H. Press,
Board of Trade official and ticket
chief for the ball. met him in
the lobby and handed him his
tickets.
The justice took another taxi
and reached the court in the
nick of time.
Mr.. Press gave him compli-

eight justices, too, but Justice
Burton said he probably would
be the only one to go.

Even Supreme Courts Tickets
Get Caught in Inaugural Jam

A Supreme Court Justice got
tangled in the inaugural ball
ticket jam today-and it looked
for a while as if he might have
to choose between the ball and
the Inauguration.
The justice. ironically, was
the courts only Republican,
Justice Harold H. Burton.
It happened this way:
Shortly after 9 this morning
Justice Burton started out for
the court to prepare for his part
in the inaugural ceremonies. On
the way he planned to stop at
inaugural headquarters. because
he had complimentary invi-
tation but no tickets.
The tickets were supposed to
arrive in the mail yesterday.
When he arrived at 1920 Penn
sylvania avenue, however, he
found more than 100 other wor-
ried ticket-seekers ahead of him.
Everybody was pressed against
the main gate, which hadn't
been opened yet.
A little after $50 the gate was
opened and Justice Burton en-
tered. He was at the end of
the line.

General Rides Down
Avenue of Presidents
With Wife at His Side
By Hermon F. Schoden

Dwight D. Eisenhower rode
down the Avenue of Presidents
from the Capitol to the White
House today and began his Cru
sade in America to the tumultu-
Gus cheers of an estimated half
million onlookers.
At his side in the open car
sat Mrs. Eisenhower, radiant on
what was the most important
moment in the lives of both.
Early police estimates called
it a possible record crowd. 1t
seemed to fill every available
space over the 81 mile route
from the Capitol to the White
House.
A few minutes before the gil
gantic parade swung from the
Capitol Plaza, set in motion by
a booming 21-gun salute on the
Capitol grounds, Gen. Eisen-
hover had capped his career by
taking the oath of the highest
Office in the land.
Thousands Hear Oath. :

Nation Lacked
A Chief Executive
For 81 Minutes
BY the Associated Press

The United States was without
a President today for 80 minutes.
The Constitution says the pres
idential term shall end at noon
on January 20. Harry S. Tru-
mans nearly eight years as
President thus came to an Off
cial end at that hour.
Dwight D. Eisenhower did not
take the oath until 1882 pm.
Until then he was only the Pres
ident-elect.
Although Richard M. Nixon
was sworn as Vice President at
1928 pm, this did not make
him President, even theoretically,
until Gen. Eisenhower took the
oath.
This is because no man is
President until he takes the oath
for that Office. And Mr.. Nixon
was sworn in as Vice President.

steps of the Capitol Immediately
after he took the oath of Office,
expressed an abiding faith that
this crusade, in company with
the other free nations of the
world. will be successful.
Sacrifices Asked.
He pledged a program of aid
to other free nations and re-
jected appeasement of Reu ag-
gresSorS.
At the same time, he called
on the people of America to
measure up and to make what
ever sacrifices that may be re-
quired of them.
"Must Dare All for Country"
1--WE must be ready to dare all
for our country" the new Presi-
dent declared. And again, he
said, opposing any policy of ap-
peasement and clearly intended
for the ears of Communist ag-
gressorS:
I'm the final choice, a soldiers
pack is not so heavy a burden as
a prisoners chains"
President Eisenhower's first
message to the American people
and the world was inspirational.
The great audience assembled
before the Capitol listened with
the closest interest. Before he
began his address, the new Pres
ident was given loud burst of
acclaim And at its conclusion
the crowd rose and applauded.
Five times during his speech
there was applause The first
came when he told his audience
that I'VE wish our friends the
world over to know this above
all: We face the threat (of ag-
gression) not with dread and
confusion, but with confidence
and conviction"
The Presidents declaration
that never would he agree to
placate an aggressor by trading
honor for security brought
another burst of approval.
President Eisenhower delivered
his address with the utmost sin
cerity. He appeared to be
preaching crusade and this
impressed his hearers.
The new President laid down
no new program of foreign
policy: rather it was plea for
a bipartisan continuation of the
stand Communist aggression
which the United States has
taken. He offered no new ap-
proach to an end of the Korean
war. but he said:
Realizing that common sense
and common decency alike die

we shall never try to placate an
aggressor by the false and wicked
bargain of trading honor for
