tion. and a production award. Top
boners of the three-day festival went
to Lee Edwards High ^hool of Ashe
ville, and to Mars Hill College,
Comment on the Elon play has been
jreceived from the judges. In general,
the criticisms are ciV™®nlations for
originality in the “ghost” situation,
and for the originating of novel ac
tion and background in the directing
done by Mrs, Smith.
Plans for next year’s original one-
act drama are already being made.
With the development at an increas
ing number of players, it is anticipat
ed that the 1947 play will have an ex
cellent opoprtunity to win thi sta^e
competition.
Anyone interested in writing plays
should report to the instructors in
Dramatics or in English,
