Page Four 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.
