Remedial Course
English 10 is a remedial course
for students needing special in
struction to bring them up to the
college standards of communica
tion. This course is offered in the
second semester and is required for
all upperclassmen that show de
ficiency in their present English
course. Since there is no credit of
fered for this course, students
should try to come up to at least
the minimum requirements in their
present English classes so that they
will not have to take it; although
it will probably be rewarding.

Milners Fulfill
Various Duties
Recently Dr. and Mrs. Milner
have attended several meetings out
of the state. As a member of the
Corporation of Haverford College,
Dr. Milner attended its annual
meeting October 18 in Haverford,
Pennsylvania.
On Saturday, Hugh Borton was
installed as the eighth president of
Haverford College. Dr. Milner was
the official delegate from Guilford
College to the installation.
During the same week-end, Mrs.
Milner attended the annual District
Five Altrusa conference in Dayton.
As first vice-president of the In
ternational Altrusa Club, she was
asked to be the official representa
tive of that organization to the

ty." A reception in Mrs. Milners
honor was given that night.

and director of the play, has revised
the original script and formulated
many new ideas for improved pres
, entation.
Production techniques for The
Alchemist will be completely new
and different from any that the
author ever knew. The actors will
be in modern dress, toting guns in
stead of wielding swords. The
scenery will be mainly half walls,
drapes and other abstract and il
lusionary devices. Costuming,
though in modern dress, will exag
gerate the characters' nature con
siderably. A crook will be dressed
in a zoot-type suit and a gentleman
in tie and tails.
A most prominent feature of this
play will be the use of the new
lighting equipment purchased by
the Revelers this year. Using this
equipment, progressive lighting
techniques will be introduced in
order to highlight the effects of the
play.
The cast of The Alchemist in
cludes 13 men and two women. The
leading characters are Subtle (the
alchemist), Face (the assistant)
and Doll - Common (the "gun
moll" ); they are played by Craven,
Mackie, William Campbell and'
Jeanette Adler respectively. The,
Revelers, winners of the highest
rating award of the Carolina Dra
matic Association last year, are
confident that The Alchemist will
be one of the most enjoyable per
formances of the season.
