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.

LIBRARY NOTES
Almost everyone loves a pictuie
book. 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. The
group operates under the advice and sponsorship of Dr. Ferris E. Reynolds, of the Department of
Religion and Philosophy. A porlion of the Ministerial Association members is pictured above. Those

tone or trombone at times, and

Some composers even make it
sound like a French horn! ’
Audiences have displayed such
curiosity and interest in the hither
to unrealized possibilities of the
French horn that Eger has given
time in many concerts for an in
formal qut^ition period, worked
into a novel and informative dem
onstration.
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. Frank
DeRita with 129 and Jimmy Crump
with 100 points.

East Carolina
Upset Winner
Over Elon
Disaster stalked into the Elon
basketball camp last Saturday
night when the East Carolina Pir-
Etes hit their highest peak of the
season to wallop the Christians
105 to 69 in a North State Con
ference battle played at Green
ville. 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. The individual records are,®'^^^ TOTALS 11 382 289 1.053
