Opera Guild Chooses Next Year's Officers, Plans Show for May

In a recent election the Opera Guild chose Peter H. Brown '60, of Leverett House and New York City, president for the coming year.

Other officers named were Edwin A. Hopkins '60, of Adams House and Chathamport, vice-President; Davis L. Kennedy '60, of Leverett House and La Jolla, Calif., production manager; and Anita Scott '60, of Moors Hall and New York City, Secretary-Treasurer.

The Guild will present "Xerxes," an opera by Handel, on May 7 and 8, as part of the group's spring workshop, which aims at "discovering talent." Kennedy will produce the show, while Brown will handle the direction. Benjamin Cox '61, Robert Scher '59, and Vivian M. Thomas '60 will play the lead parts.

Next spring the Opera Guild hopes to present a student-written production, for the first time in the organization's history.
