Workshop sets operas
by Debussy, Mozart
The PCC Opera Workshop will present in English “The Prodigal
Son” by Debussy and “Empressario” by Mozart next Tuesday evening
at 8:30 on the stage in Harbeson Hall.
The Mozart opera is a “singspiel” which is roughly equivalent to
an eighteenth century musical comedy in that spoken lines are in¬
corporated into the opera.
“The Prodigal Son” is a cantata (a story or play that has been set
to music) in which a chorus sings but does not do any acting.
The workshop is a part of the extended day program of the col¬
lege. Its purpose is to develop singing actors. There are no limits as
to the training of the performers as beginners, intermediates, and
professionals take part in the workshop productions.
Anyone who would be interested in joining the group can do so
by contacting Arnet Amos in 102K from 7-10 p.m. on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays.

Pasadena City College’s ener¬
getic elections commissioner will
join 163 other delegates from Cal¬
ifornia as participants in the gold¬
en anniversary meeting.
. The conference was inaugurat¬
ed in 1909 by President Theodore
Roosevelt. It is held every ten
years upon the personal invitation
of the President to the nation’s
youth and adult leaders to partici¬
pate. *
MISS FEDDE was selected by
the Governor’s Advisory Commit¬
tee on Children and Youth as a
delegate to the conference. Her
name was originally submitted to
Charlotte Fedde
. Washington bound
Governor Brown’s aides by the
Pasadena Mayor’s Committee on
Children and Youth.
Besides the PCC coed- and the
other student delegates of senior
high school or college standing,
Danny Kaye, Will Rogers, Jr., and
other notables active in youth
projects in California will take
part in the ten-day Washington
meeting.
Part of the reason Charlotte
was named as a California repre¬
sentative stems from her work
on the Pasadena Youth Council,
in which she actively served as
past secretary. Last summer, she
also prepared youth question¬
naires and reports for the City of
Pasadena.
CURRENTLY, she is helping
to organize the new Sierra Madre
Youth Council, using her past ex¬
perience in youth work as an in¬
valuable aid.
Charlotte has served PCC as
last semester’s Freshman Class
president, and through numerous
other channels of service. She
was a National Merit Scholarship
finalist and winner of an Ameri¬
can Legion award in high school.
Pasadena Postmaster Ray
Holmquist, chairman of the Pasa¬
dena White House Conference
Committee, and Bruce Anderson,
vice-president of the Pasadena
Youth Council, will join Charlotte
as representatives from this area.
