ALBEMARLE, N. C., FEBRUARY, 1938
Dramatic Coach New Home Room
Announces Cast I Officers Elected
Of Contest Play | F or Spring T erm
On February 1 home rooms
elected the following officers for
the second semester:
Eight 1—Miss Hicks: president,
Norman Trexler; vice-president,
“Gloria Mundi” to Be Given
In District Tournament In
March.
Rehearsals Begun on One-
Act Tragedy.
If you have noticed any students
I going around school talking to
■ themselves with a dazed, faraway
■ look in their eyes, it does not mean
‘ that they have gone crazy, but just
' that they have been rehearsing
' their parts in the contest play,
“Gloria Mundi,” a one-act tragedy
by Patricia Brown. Miss Scar-
r borough, the director, has announc-
’ ed the following cast: Miss Jebb,
a nurse, Mary Katherine East;
Robert Cartwell, a doctor, Douglas
Cranford; Virginia Blake, a new
nurse, Hilda Foreman; Mrs. Farns
worth, Sue Coble; Mr. Lloyd,
James Frv; and Miss Dunn, Jeanne
Hurt.
In “Gloria Mundi” we have
unusually good play which will
■ have excellent chances of winning
! the district contest. The Albe
marle cast will present the play
I some time in March. The district
- winner enters the state tournament
when the annual Dramatic Festival
is held at Chapel Hill this spring.
Three years ago, Albemarle won
. the district contest with the com-
• edy, “The Wedding”. Last year
“The Purple Door Knob” w
presented in the tournament
" count of illness of two members of
the cast.
The outstanding aspect of
“Gloria Mundi” is the characteriza
tion. Each of the characters is ex-
l| tremely interesting. None of them
" are stage types; they seem to be
real peoole. The setting of the
plav is a reception room ' “
Miss Jebb is a sharp, thin woman
: of forty. She seems to be per-
" fectly normal, yet there is some
thing strange, almost sinister,
- about her. One wonders what her
- true character is. She sits at her
desk during practically the entire
play knitting, knitting, knitting.
Occasionally she talks to herself.
■ In one tense climax scene, she re
veals her inmost thoughts in talk
ing to Virginia, the new nurse.
i>T Virginia is a small, fair-haired
)| girl of about twenty with a deli
cately prettv face and eyes that
I cannot conceal their eagerness to
J, leain and know. All her move
ments, though graceful, are quick
and impulsive. She is interested in
Dr. Cartwell. the young doctor,
who is seemingly inconsistent in
character. At times he is brutally
OTilcal, completely hardened by his
--work with the insane. Yet again
■^his boyishness, impulsiveness, and
eagerness .show through. His reac-
tions to Virginia’s youth and deter-
/C mination are interesting.
Mrs. Farnsworth is a well-dress
ed, middle-aged woman, utterly ir-
, responsible but completely harm-
;rilles.«. She is the type who serves
on numerous committees without
ever doing anv work, belongs to a
literary club in which she never
reads a paper, considering herself
a remarkable combination of the
broad-minded, modern woman and
lOllthe lady of the old school.
Miss Dunn and Mr. Lloyd areue
.^throughout their appearance. Miss
—Dunn is a young woman with a
^strident voice and a determined
^manner. She delights in knowing
more facts, figures, and statistics
,1 of every kind than anyone else. Mr.
PI* Lloyd is a middle-aced man with a
slightly nervous, absent-minded air.
He is under numerous delusions,
one being that his nom, de plume
kpis Charles Dickens.
Thus about these characters
weaves this grim ironic story of
life—or is it life?—in an insane
asylum. This play leaves with you
a strange, weird feeling concern
ing anyone’s sanity or insanity.—

solved, That the several states

for the rebuttal. A number of
strong points both for and against
unicameralism were brought out.
Judges for the contest were Miss
Doris Cocherham, Miss Evelyn

Garden Club Gives
Map to Library
At the last meeting of the Mamie
Crowell Garden club a very inter
esting and valuable garden map of
North Carolina was presented to
the library.
Printed in colors, the map is
suitable for framing and makes a
very attractive decoration, as well
as handy and ready reference for
flora culture in the state. Accom
panying the map is material for a
booklet which contains a great
deal of valuable information about
North Carolina.
Anyone wishing to make a gift
to a library or to a room could find
no more acceptable one than this.
Many schools have already secured
this map, and teachers report that
they have found it invaluable in
nature study, in geography and
