As the year comes to a close,
the Little Theatre would like to
give you an idea of some of
the things that have been done
that will be of permanent value
to the school.
We have spent $453.79 for
building material. These mate
rials have been used to make a
set and other props that can be
used by other groups for years
to come. We also believe that
Little Theatre has created an
interest among the students
that has been lacking in the
past. Our plays this year were
attended by more students than
those in earlier years. We hope
that more and more students
will join us in our work next
year.
Next year’s officers have al
ready been elected. They are
Ellen Westmoreland, vice-presi
dent; Elinor (better known as
“Potsy”) Averre, secretary;
and Betsy Cannady, treasurer.
These officers with the help of
the president, Barbara Cox, the
By Betsy Cannady
sponsor. Miss Mayes, and all the
members, have great plans for
the coming year.
The greatest news of the year
is about our outgoing president.
Perhaps all of you have noticed
a gleam in her eyes; well, it’s
not just because of graduation.
Micky Bowen has a contract to
work with “The Lost Colony”
this summer. Just look what
happens to some of the lucky
girls of Meredith Little Thea
tre. Micky, all of us will be
thinking of you in your work
this summer and will be com
ing down to Manteo to see you.
All of you remember, (we
hope) our fall production of
“Goodbye, My Fancy.” Well,
last week the Ambassador
Theatre presented the picture,
“Goodbye, My Fancy.” After
seeing the movie we are very
proud of our production because
it compared favorably with the
movie. Most of us sat through
the picture and repeated our
