Thespians Score
With 'Pygmalion'
By Gloria Whiteman
On March 14, 1957, the N*rth
Carolina College Thespians
scored another dramatic tri
umph with a production of
George Bernard Shaw’s “Pyg
malion”. The play, directed by
Miss Mary Bohanon and staged
, by Stanlej Ferber, was present
ed in celebration of Shaw’s cen
tennial.
The stars of the play, Carlyle
Mason, graduate student
English, who played Professor
Higgins, and Barbara Lumpkin,
senior Dramatic Arts major, as
Eliza Dolittle, were superb. The
supporting cast, which was ex
cellent, included Geraldine Or-
mon, Theodore Gilliam, Cyn
thia McDonald, Caroline Gat
ling, Joy Elliott, Thomas Gallo
way, Helen Reed, and Bernard
Tate.
Generally speaking, the NCC
student body agrees that none of
the players was out of charac
ter. In one or two instances,
however, all of the players ex
cept Carlyle Mason were imable
to sustain the British accent
throughout the play.
A spokesman for the
pians said recently that
Temple’s Talk

of NCC and a former star of
“The Thespians,” made his
Broadway Debut recently at the
Greyston Theater in New York

pians
have been made to stage
“Pygmalion” at Booker T
Washington High School in
Reidsville, N. C. This statement
was confirmed by Miss Mary
Bohanon, chairman of the Dra
matic Arts Department.
The Campnis Echo congratu
lates the entire cast an produc
tion staff on an excellent per
formance of one of Shaw’s best
known plays.
Set Social Work
Meet On April 12
N.C.C. sociology students,
faculty, and local social workers
aniiounced plans for a Social
Work Career Program on the
campus Friday afternoon, April
12.
Invitations have., gone to the
following schools of social work
to send representatives for the)
meet: Atlanta University, the
University of North Carolina,
the Richmond School of Social
Work, West Virginia University,
Howard University, and Catho
lic University. Professional
workers in local agencies have
also been invited to confer with
students.
Miss Shirley Green, senior
sociology major from New Port
News, Virginia, and chairman
of the plaining committee, said
maximum time and opportunity
will be provided for students
to talk with the school repre
sentatives and social workers.
The program calls for a get-
acquainted luncheon n the col
lege cafeteria at 12:30 to be fol
lowed by a brief general session,
in the auditorium of the Com
merce Building and a series of
small conference groups. >-
Invitations have also been
sent to social science students
in sister colleges of the state
to participate in the one-day
program.
Other members of the plan
ning committee include Miss
Alda Derr, Miss Eunice Kirton,
and Mr. James Badger. Dr. J. S.
Himes, faculty advisor, stated
that the purpose of the brief
career program is to acquaint
students with social work as a
job and career field and to put
those intreested in this profes
sion in touch with schools and
teachers of social work.
Last week the Greeks on the
campus got together to sponsor
the first “All Greek Week” to
be held here. Many times pre
viously the Greeks, with the
leadership of the Pan-Hellenic
Council arranged some type of
celebration which was called
“Greek Week” or “All Greek
Day,” but never has the pro
gram been so enthusiastically
endorsed by the Greeks, and
by the faculty and staff here at
NCC.
The Greeks
felt the need to
make Greek- ’
land more at-i
tractive to stu
dents who now
feel indifferent
about joining’
Greek letter or-^“"|tff|«|?f||0
ganization. 11 • i
has been said'S'-sAf^m^
that no ulti-MISS JAMES
mate good is accomplished by
joining Greek letter organiza
tions thus the Greeks on a
whole have become aware of
this and are trying to show the
student body that they have a
cultural and civic awareness in
the college community as well
as a social function
This awareness has been
manifested many times by the
separate organizations in the
programs __and projects they
have sponsored for the benefit
of the college community. For
example, the Omegas on cam
pus gave the college its first
Sundial which is located in
front of the Senior Dormitory;
the Alphas on campus sponsor
ed the first appearance of the
Duke University Symphony Or
chestra on this campus and a se
ries of “author^meets-critic”
programs; and the Alpha Kappa
Alpha Sorority and Kappa Al
pha Psi Fraternity have spon
sored reputable jazz concerts
and talent shows.
The endorsement of the
“Greek Week” program by the
faculty and staff is indicative
of the well wishes the Greeks
had in sponsoring the various
activities. P&rticular thanks
should go to the Student Wel
fare Committee for going over
the program so thoroughly with
the president of the Pan and
giving its suggestions for
smooth implementation of the
program as well asits improve
ment. A great deal of thanks is
also due the personnel deans
for making dormitory space
available for students visiting
from neighboring colleges and
for being so patient and graci
ous in their cooperation with
the Pan-Hellenic Council. And
without the patience and co
operation of Miss Coleman dur
ing the entire week, the prog
ram could not have been as ef
fective as it was. It is surprising
how much of one’s total enjoy
ment comes from the pleasure
of dining with friends.
We certainly thank the entire
faculty for cooperating with us
wholeheartedly in supporting
the activities which we sponsor
ed.
I sincerely hope that “Greek
Week” will be an annual af
fair for the Greek letter organi
zations, with the leadership of
the Pan-Hellenic Council. I also
hope that “Greek Week” will
grow into something even more
attractive to the students and
enthusiastic for the Greeks. The
program this year is just a sam
ple, admittedly not the best but,
nevertheless, still a sample of
what “Greek Week” could be
come if it is continued with a
greater confidence and spirit
each year. So, future members
of the Pan-Hellenic Council,
don’t let the idea and principle
die this year; the future is yours
to enjoy.
