Lawyer Directs G&S Productions
Ueberhorst Adds ..:
Operetta Activity
To Law Studies

By DONNA HENDLEMAN
Legal briefing is not the only
kind of bar work that concerns
student lawyer, Jim Ueberhorst.
A founder, and now the direc-
tor of the Gilbert and Sullivan
society, Ueberhorst has mixed a
six-year academic career at the
University with a rich sprinkling
of operetta endeavor.
Currently at the helm for the
forthcoming production of "Rud-
digore," Ueberhorst has behind
him a long list of G & S leading
roles, and has directed two previ-
ous productions for the society.
Hard - working, soft - spoken
Ueberhorst quietly and efficient-
ly explodes the myth about law
students "who don't have time
to do anything but study."
"A fellow who studies without a
good break is liable to geta nar-
row outlook on things," the direc-
tor commented. "My Gilbert and
Sullivan work makes it easier for
me to study in the end."
Ueberhorst's Gilbert and Sulli-
van work began back in 1946 when
he was a literary school freshman
just out of Ann Arbor high.
He then joined with a group
of G & S enthusiasts who tried
to put the society on the Office
of Student Affairs list. A year
later the Society became an of-
ficial reality, and Ueberhorst
managed the president's post as
well as leading roles.
By the time he entered Law
School Ueberhorst was firmly em-
bedded as a G & S member of very
important standing, and contin-
ued to work in spite of the trials
and tribulations he has met as a
neophyte lawyer.
For musical training, Ueberhorst

Ueberhorst's sixth year as a University student, his sixth with
the operetta society.

has relied mainly lately on the
National Music Camp at Inter-
lochen, where he has spent his
last five summers. Last summer
he was on the staff as an assist-
ant to Prof. Maynard Klein for
courses in Operetta workshop.
Although Ueberhorst's leads
have brought rave comments in
the past from critics and audi-
ences alike, this competent
young man prefers directing to
acting and singing in the- pro-
ductions.
"I guess I'm a teacher at heart,"
he observed. "I get a great kick
out of seeing others improve. The
best thing anyone could tell me
about "Ruddigore" would be that
it was well directed."
As for the future, Lawyer Ueber-
horst expects to take precedence
over the operetta star and direc-
tor. But Thespian Ueberhorst
