Scope and content
Wide angle portrait of the 110 students at Gault Junior High School representing the cast and chorus of the Hawaiian operetta "Tahita," which will be presented at the school on May 13, 1938. The plot was written by the girls in Miss Betty Harding's Glee Club. It is set in Hawaii, where Tahita, the heroine, was shipwrecked as a young child and raised by a native chieftain. She is found by an American aunt who wants to return her to the States to school. However, romance interferes in the person of the captain of the boat and a young bashful Southern sailor. (T. Times 5/13/1938, pg. 8- see caption of photograph for all names.)
