S IN C E , i t ’s trium-: phant first night in New York in 1880, de spite the composer’s indisposition, trouble some musicians and a script half of which had been left behind in England, every thing that could poss ibly be written about “The Pirates of Penz ance” was long ago put on paper. Thus the task of the.
reviewer is made very easy. No need to name author and composer; everybody knows them. No need to detail the plot, everybody knows it. How happy we are then
that, since the regretted demise of the illustrious company which toured the operas so "Successfully for so many decades, their ju s t p opu la r ity with amateur groups enables us to still enjoy the wit of
Gilbert and the glorious melodies of Sullivan. It is perhaps particular
ly appropriate- thait the present production should be by a company of schoolgirls; the girls of C l i th e r o e Grammar School, for Gilbert wrote and Dean Weldon en dorsed that: “He wrote no play, nor.even a line, that the'sensitive modesty' of a young girl might shrink from hearing.” And if that was true in
1880, it is certainly true in 1982. Let it be said, then,
that this production was both colourful, tuneful and melodious; the sweet fresh voices of the young and very attractive com pany adding fresh charm to th is c en tu ry -o ld favourite. The lines were clearly
spoken (one artist even attempted a West Coun try accent from time to time), the acting en
thusiastic, the chorus well trained.. Everybody was “on cue” and the presence of / a prompter almost superfluous. Solos — some of them
far from easy — were cre ditably sung, some quite delightfully. The producers were Mr
M. Gorrell and Miss J. Eagland; make-up (not easy making young girls into cider-swilling pirates) by Miss S. Morris and Miss C. Higgins; stage management by Miss A. Farmer and settings (a rocky cover in Cornwall and a mined chapel) by the school arts depart ment. A very special bouquet
to Miss Elisabeth Mortdn, a fifth-year student who accompanied the play throughout. People who know far more about music than, your reviewer commended her highly. It was a delight to see so many of the school’s
pupils — over 80 of them — so actively involved, musically and dramatical ly, in. evtery aspect, of the production.. Principal roles were

Weaver (Pirate King), Paula

daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Sieczkowski, of Grove House, Woone Lane, Clitheroe. The 1 bridegroom is the

day from the Schools Sub- Committee, which also asked the Government to restore grant aid axed from the new financial year’s budget on the as sumption that schools with falling rolls would be closed. It also deferred consid
eration of a proposed merger of two schools in the Chorley area until it has heard from the minister.
Earlier in the week,
county council leader Mrs Louise Ellman attacked the decision as “blatantly hypocritical” and in direct conflict with what the G o v e rnm en t was preaching.
“ In view of falling rolls
and' spending limitations, the Labour and Conserva tive groups had agreed that Bolton-by-Bowland School should close,” she said.
“Now the - Government
has decided to keep open the school but 'has not stated that it will restore our grant. This can only mean that children in urban areas will suffer. “Is it to be favouritism
for the rural areas at the expense of the urban areas?” Meanwhile the celebra
tions are continuing in Bolton-by-Bowland. Yes terday there was a party for the children and this afternoon between 2 and 4 p.m., supporters of the action group’s campaign are invited to attend an open day. The action group was
due to meet last night to decide on its future role.
Final talk
AT the last of Clitheroe Naturalists’ Society’s winter lectures, Mr K. Rycroft gave a talk on the Rocky Mountainsof North America, illustrated by slides. He was thanked by Mr F. Dakin. The summer walks
start, on Good Friday with a trip to Bolton Abbey.

RESEARCH by a former Clitheroe man will be fea tured tonight on BBC TV’s “Tomorrow’s World” programme. • For the past seven

helped by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine — will be explained oh tonight’s programme, which starts at 7 p.m. by Judith Hann. Dr Melville is a former
pupil of Pendle Junior and Clitheroe Royal Grammar Schools, and had links with Trinity Methodist Church. He gained his
