On of them, Ruth Coates, desâ€" fribes the visit for Chronicle eaders. Others who accompanied her were Cathy Burn, Lynn Cross, Joyce Gimble, Michele Gagne, Ann Hiemstra, Marâ€" garet McCutchen and Deborah Paleczny. â€" _A mixture of the comic and dramatic, it is directed by Jean Wright, a former professional singer and dancer, who with her Eight Waterloo rangers visit New York‘s day, night spots That night we saw a hilarious movie at Radio City Music Hall, A New Leaf. Also on the proâ€" gramme were the famous Rockâ€" ettes in a spring show and a speâ€" cial Glory of Easter Pageant. The Village Players make their debut at Cedarbrae school this Friday with an evening of three oneâ€"act plays, two comedies and a light drama. ~ Rick Worsnap directs the curâ€" tainâ€"opener, Theâ€"More the Merâ€" If you had been awake at 4 a.m. Saturday morning you might have seen eight sleepy rangers and their wideâ€"awake leader, Mrs. Fred Neufeld, expertly packing our many suitcases in a stationwagon. Needless to say the navigator and driver were the only ones awake during the early foggy hours of our trip to New York. Packed lunches sufficed as nourishment for the whole day. Reaching New York 12 hours later, it took us two hours more to arrive at the YWCA in central Manhattan. The bright lights of Broadway and Times Square made us forget how tired we were that first night. Hooper, and Shirley Hinsperger. The sign of a tourist is that he is always looking up, so we were all very typical of that group of people trying to get a glimpse of the rooftops. On Sunday, after attending a service in the vast and beautifully decorated St. Patrick‘s Cathedral, we visited the United Nations. None of the councils were in session but we enjoyed our guided tour imâ€" mensely. Everything about the UN symbolizes peace and love conquering evil. We couldn‘t miss going to a TV show so Monday morning saw us sitting in the audience of Sale of the Century. The techâ€" niques of putting on a show were Please, No Flowers fills the By Ruth Coates an invitation from the is making her first appearance in this area, and Herb Rutherford, who has appeared in Tempo Theatre productions locally. _ Supporting roles are played by boat, we ran up the street to the financial district just so we can say now that we‘ve been on Wall Street and seen the stock exchange. We had 25 minutes to go to these two places from the ferry and back again. While at the UN on Sunday we met some girl scouts who invitâ€" ed us to their meeting Tuesday afternoon. This entailed a bus ride which enabled us to see some of the suburban areas of New York and how our girl guide counterparts in the US conduct a meeting. A second performance will be held Saturday night. Curtain time is 8: 15 p.m. interesting but the format was boring. We walked through Central Park to reach the Metropolitan Muâ€" seum of Art. We especially enâ€" joyed seeing works of the famâ€" ous Old Masters and authentic relics of King Tutankhaâ€" mon‘s tomb. Two _ untiring rangers jogged along the jogâ€" ging â€" path while the others brought up the rear, our destinaâ€" tion, the Metropolitan Opera. Our ignorance of the opera, Werther, did not mar our enjoyâ€" ment. of the spectacular perâ€" formance. It was a German opâ€" era, sung in French by an Italian baritone, Franco Corelli. From our ‘standing room seats‘ the whole show appeared like a picture. It was a tragedy almost better than Romeo and Juliet. On Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. we left: Packing without Mr. Neufeld‘s help required several tries. We returned home along the Hudson River making a brief stop at West Point and travelling through the very beautiful Catâ€" skills. Once again, we were a very sleepy group.
