Wednesd/y, January li, 1955 rAGE FOUB MAROON AND GOLD Costuming For Player Show Will Be Colorful The costuming should prove a big feature of the Elon Player pro duction of Lillian Heilmans 'The Little Foxes,' which will be presented in Mooney Chapel for five nights, begining on Tuesday, January 31st, and conUnuing through Saturday night, February 4th. The play, which had a highly successful Broadway run, is laid in the Deep South at the turn of the century, and the dress of both the men and women of that era of 1900 was much different from that in vogue today. | With ten members of the cast, the question of costumes was a MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION ACTIVE ORGANIZATION big one for Prof. M. E. Wooten and his student dramatic group, but plans are already under way for the creation of a complete set of costumes in the styles of half a century and more ago. Mrs. Ramona Carr, member of] the college office staff, has agreed to supervise the wardrol>e for the thow, and Prof. Wooten assures that she and her student workers have a real job ahead. Each of the ten members of the cast will have at least one change of costume, which mens that twenty or more costumes must be mad*. Present plans call for the mak ing of the men's suits as well as the dresses for the ladies, and these suits may prove quite a task before it is all over. Much of the material for the costumes has already been purchased, and the hum of the sewing machine will toon be heard on the campus. With work on the costumes all set, work on the play itself is re ported to be progressing nicely. Prof. Wooten, who set a high stand ard with his production of "Out ofg the Frying Pan" earlier this year, has filled out his cast and re ports that the student actors are really getting into the spirit of the rew show. The plCt of the new show re volves around the despotic Hub bard family, members of which are scheming to erect a cotton mill in the old home town. Conflict arises over the efforts of a pair of brothers, Ben and Oscar Hub bard, to raise the money to fi- rance the industrial venture. Prof. William C. Goodrum, of the Elon faculty, and Bill Watson, of San ford, will apear in the roles of the Hubbard brothers. They plot to steal the needed money from their ailing brother- in-law, Horace, a role which will be enacted by Eugene Harrell, of Suffolk, Va. Regina, wife of Hor ace, portrayed’ by Margaret Sharpe, of Bear Creek, is quite as unprincipled as her brothers, and she uses her knowledge of the theft to blackmail her own broth ers into giving her a share of the rew busines. Other Interesting characters are Birdie, lonely wife of Oscar Hub bard. enacted by Helen Gilbert, of Burlington; Alexandra, the wistful daughter of Horace, whose part is taken by Carolyn Duncan, of Woodsdale; and Lee, the weak son of Oscar, enacted by Roger Rush. Other roles are those of Mr. Mar shall, Chicago buisness man, taken by Tommy Lewis, of Chadbourne; Cal, the man of all work, by Wil liam Davis, of Gresham, S.C.; and Addle, the servant girl, by Betsy Watson, of Burlington.

Tis a characteristic that ap pears even in childhood, and its always easier to look at picture than it is to read the printed page Perhaps that is the reason tha; the newest assortment of boolcs in Elon's library includes so many pictorial works. At any rate, whatever the rea son, the Elon librarians have as sembled one of the most attractive groups of new pictorial volumes seen in many a day, no less than five huge tomes that picture One of the outstanding student organizations on the campus is the Ministerial Association, compose of students who are preparing for a career as a minister or for church work of another nature.

Instruments of the ensemble have been chosen to permit a wide variety of repertoire and afford a good contrast in tone quality with out sacrificing blend. The strings show off the horn, and the horn enhances piano and strings. The concert by the Eger Players will include solos, duets and trios for piano, violin and cello. Associated with Eger are three gifted young artists, each of whom has won independent distinction as ? soloist and ensemble performer. Gideon Grau, violinist, Aaron Shapinsky, cellist, and Grace Har rington, pianist, are Eger's mates in the ensemble that appears at Elon. I Grau, of the Cleveland Orches- 'tra, has given recitals in New York, |“ Cleveland and Israel and has been asistant conductor of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and the Bal timore Chamber Music Ensemble; Shapinsky was once first cellist w ith Leopold Stokowsky and later played with the NBC Symphony under Toscinlni; and Miss Har-| rington, who made her first con cert ape^rance at eight, has won numerous prizes in musical compe tition and has wide experience in both radio and television. The Elon cagers, with a mark of ten wins in their first twelve starts, have shown by far the high est scoring record in the history of Elon basketball, for the Maroon and Gold tossers have been rip ping the cords at the rate of 96 points per game in their first 12 games of the 1955-56 campaign. This 96-point average is almost 16 points per game higher than last year's average, and that aver age 6( 80.2 points last winter in turn was the highest in Elon bas ketball history. However, if the current model of the Elon cagers is: posting new offensive marks. >l is falling short of last year’s de fensive record. The team of a year ago held its oponents to an aver age of 73.8 points per game, but the twelve opponents thus far this winter have averaged 79.8 points. The present 96 point average tself represents quite a drop from the Christians’ scoring pace in pre- Christmas games. In nine games played up to and through the Par ris Island Christmas Tournament, the Elon squad was hitting at the rate of 100.3 points per game Dee Atkinson, the Christians’ jumping-jack junior center, is pacing the attack for the Christ ians in the individual scoring sta- urday's battle with East Carolina, but up to that time Atkinson had netted 56 field baskets and free throws for a total of 178 points. In eleven games that re presented a 16.2 point average. Five other Elon tossers were averaging in double figures at that .stage of the season. Ray Whitley was in second place with 150 points and an average of 13.6 points, eight attempts. Others of this top six. with their total points were B»n Kendall with 143( Ed Juratic witn 135.

It was one of the biggest up sets seen in Conference cage play in many years. The victory gave East Carolina at least temory possession of first j American and World history of the place in the Conference standings past and present. One of the largest is "Pictorial History of America." produced by the publishers of YEAR to portray the story of America from the Age of Discovery to the Atomic Era. It contains over 2,500 pictures and 55 historical maps in full color, amply illustrating its more than 200,000 words of test. Another large vofume, dealing strictly with the modern scene 1 viewed in nations throughout the globe, the 1954 edition of YEAR itself, the seventh edition of the pictorial news annual. Getting back to the American scene is "The American Wars, 1755-1953,” which tells in pictures stories from Quebec to Korea. This enjoyable volume is by Roy Mere dith, who gained wide acclaim for his story of Matthew Brady, Lin coln’s camera man. Meredith's work includes twelve fine chap ters, all fully illustrated, which record America’s struggles from the pigHtails and paint of the French and Indian War to the bitter fighting that took plais above and below Korea’s 38th par- | allel. I "The Civil War in Pictures,” which is arranged with a commen tary by Fletcher Pratt, tells the ‘ story of the bitter North-South battles from the drawing boards of the newspaper artists who fol lowed the fighting from Manassas to Gettysburg and on to Appo- Thomas (15) j^atox. Photography had not de veloped at that time to the point it reached in later wars And finally, there is a pictorial "Story of the Declaration of In dependence,” which gives wonder ful insight into the lives of the men who framed that great docu ment of American freedom. t-nd dropped Elon from a tie for first all the way to fourth place. Atlantic Christian and High Point moved to second and third by virtue of more games played, al though the Bulldogs, Panthers and Christians have each lost just one game in league play. The Elon quintet, however, re rained top place among the Con ference clubs on the basis of all games played for the season. The Christians opened this week with mark of 9 wins and 2 losses, compared with East Carolina’s rec ord of 8 wins and 2 losses. The Pirates, who chalked their forty-second straight triumph on their home floor, grabbed a de cisive lead in the early minutes and continued to stretch the mar gin in each of the four quarters. The score at half-time showed East Carolina ahead 32 to 27. Don Harris hit 25 points to lead the East Carolina attack, and four other Pirates were in double fig ures. By contrast, only Elon player above the 10-point mark was Jim my Crump, who bagged 14 points. Crump had eight free throws in tistics.
