THE TWIG
April 23, 1948
Rose Garden Is
Seene of Ban({viet
The Junior Class honored the
Seniors at the annual Junior-
Senior Banquet on the night of
April 10. The banquet was given
in the dining hall, which had
been turned into a rose garden
for the occasion. The theme was
carried out by rose-covered
picket fences at the front door of
the dining hall and rose arbors
at the windows. A blue sky with
silver stars covered the center
top of the dining hall; each end
was made into a big rose arbor.
Bandstand and picture booth
decorations also carried out the
rose garden theme. Each table
had a centerpiece of silvered
candles and ivy.
Guests were greeted at the
front door by Kitten Ashcraft
and Ted Morris. Seating arrange
ment was found by place cards
representing old-fashioned girls
and boys.
The program consisted of the
invocation by Dr. Carlyle Camp
bell; a welcome to the seniors
and special guests by Ella May
Shirley; and the response by
Mary Beth Thomas. Kitten Ash
craft welcomed the dates for the
banquet, and Ted Morris made
the response. Music for the ban
quet was furnished by Norwood
Lane and his orchestra. The
Shadow skit was written and di
rected by Shirley Powell.
A special feature of the ban
quet was the picture booth,
where Dr. Harry Cooper made
pictures of each couple.
Committee heads for the ar
rangements for the banquet were
Kitten Ashcraft, decorations;
Idalia Oglesby, table arrange
ment; Susan Graham, invitations
and programs; Frankie Ward,
place cards; Jean McLamb, food;
and Shirley Powell, skit.
Ciubs Hold
Joint Meeting
The April meeting of the Col
ton English Club and the Little
Theatre was held jointly. Mr.
Ainslie Pryor, director of the
Raleigh Little Theatre, spoke to
the group. Mr. Pryor began his
talk by pointing out some of the
common fallacies currently held
about theatre people. He feels
that the “would be” people of
the theatre are due for most of
the criticism. He found the peo
ple both sound and sensible that
he associated with on the stage
in New York.
Dramatic work contributes a
great deal to the attractiveness,
charm, and poise of the indi
vidual.
Mr. Pryor mentioned that
there is a movement to take the
theatre away from Broadway.
The National Theatre Confer
ence is the recognized central
organization for civic theatres,
and its members are attempting
everywhere to promote local
Little Theatre groups.

individual cheers were given by
the four dorms. At two o’clock,
the activities began with volley
ball, in which the students won
over the faculty, 25-12. From
two o’clock until four-thirty
o’clock, when the big softball
game was played, individual
sports were held in different
sections of the campus. These
sports ranged from lemon-spoon
contests on horse back through
badminton, gymnastics, table

really good with the paddle.

archery. The climax of an en
joyable afternoon was the soft-
ball game which amazingly end
ed with a score of 11-3 in the
faculty’s favor. (Student writer,
you know!)
Dinner was made more pleas
ant than usual by having it
served on the lawn. Then too,
it’s not every evening that we
have each dorm to exhibit its
singing talent on such songs as
