BELLES OF ST. MARY’S December 2, 1960 ’’Sabrina Fair” Meets With Success At St. Mary’s As the curtain slowly opened on Tuesday, November 22, the stu dent body of St. Mary’s, the facul ty, and friends were transported to the Long Island home of the Linus Larrabee family. The afflu ent Larrabees j)layed host to some of the most enchanting scenes a romantic could conjure. The Cin derella tale of a chauffeur’s daugh ter turned heiress and her love for the master’s son unfolded with many entertaining complications. The part of Sabrina Fairchild was well portrayed by .Jane Cole man whose i)erformance mirrored the sophisticated and disarming child-woman, or rather “la petite fille du chauffeur.” Her various encounters with the men of the household were at once humorous and })oignant. To her father she was the misunderstood girl; to David she was the intensity of living that he desired to find; to Linus Sr. she was a disarmingly pretty girl, and to Linus Jr. she was the threat to his avowed state of bachelorhood. The stellar i)erformance of Nanne Chalgren was acclaimed by all. She played the role of Maude Larrabee with such ai)lomb that she conveyed the exact amount of social grace and sophistication. Charles Faust returned to St. Maiy’s in the role of Linus Larra- bee, Jr. He gave a stirring per formance as the resistant, resilent male-on-the-prowl and caustic cynic. Richard Decker, also a State College student, played the part of Linus’ brother David, who managed to fall in love with Sa brina first. David lacked much of the self-confidence of Linus, but nevertheless tried to win Sabrina. Maude’s old college roommate Julia was played by Lii Lii Riden- hour. .Julia’s brusque sagacity was the foil for Maude’s vivacity. Maude was well-trained in the arts of charm and deportment while .lulia remained sliarj) and unyielding.

Jane, a day student, is a veteran of the Raleigh Little Theater. Other supporting roles were play ed by Alton Buzbee, Marcus Hawkins and William Dean. Mar cus Hawkins gave just the right degree of matter-of-fact senility to his portrayal of Linus, Sr. and Alton Buzbee was excellent in the role of Fairchild, Sabrina’s father. Mustering a French accent for the occasion, William Dean was his best in the role of Sabrina’s French admirer. He also doubled as an extra. Karen Cooper, Sharon Finch and Jimmie Jones played various minor roles with skill. These minor roles carry through the shades of meaning in the play. The backstage staff was headed by stagemanagers Archer Lee Han nah and Helen Lee who kept the whole project running smoothly. The various lighting effects were achieved by Becky Petrea who manned the new light panel for the first play. Well received by the St. Mary’s audience, “Sabrina Fair” lived up to its reputation as an endearing comedy. The holiday mood of the students was matched with the obvious enjoyment of the mem bers of the cast. Sabrina’s plight, Julia’s unconcealed admiration for Linus, Jr. and scorn for Linus, Sr. and Maude’s delight in being the perfect hostess and social butter fly—all these combined to make the i)lay more tlian a comedy. The serious scenes of Linus and Sa brina gave a depth to the play without which it could not have sustained the audience’s attention. It is very apparent from student and faculty comments, ranging from, “It’s the best play ever giv en at St. Mary’s!” to “Why couldn’t we see it twice?” that Mrs. Nancy Stamey has scored another success with “Sabrina Fair”! The time is anytime and the place is Penick, first floor—the Kitchen. The characters are our To a regular customer of the Kitchen comes memories of a thou sand different odors which have issued from the tantalizing depths of the Kitchen. They begin with a steak, medium rare, or chocolate cake with fudge icing, or instant mashed potatoes with applesauce. They continue through boullion, onion soup, vegetable soup, mush room soup, pea soup, noodle soup, chicken-noodle soup, rice soup, chicken-rice soup, and just plain souj). Where the memories end, no one knows. Perhaps the odor of the meltcel coffee pot ended the memories of some or maybe it was the ill-constructed pizza. Never- tlieless, to Penick Dorm, the Kitchen is what a kitchen has been and always will be, the center of the home. In the Kitchen we meet, talk, cat, smoke, study, and some times sleep .... and we love it till tlie day we graduate. Granddaughter’s Club Starts Projects The (Iranddaughter’s Club has held one meeting at which the members elected officers and dis cussed projects and jirograms. The officers for tliis year are as fol lows: President, Anne Cay Henrj’; Vice-President, Clove Fletcher; Secretarj', Mary Marshall; and Treasurer, C. g. Saunders. Also elected were: Project Chairman, .lane Brooks and Program Chair man, Virginia McKimmon. The Cranddaugliter’s Club will issue its annual Cliristmas address book and is ])lanning to sell St. Man.'’s wedgewood i)lates. The Revolution Of Women own St. Mary’s Seniors. The props are any type of unprepared food, and the objective is to prepare this food. It is an established fact that food is very nourishing—and good for you, too. It can also be truthfully said that food is food for thought; therefore, one can al ways accomplish more in the cate gory of studying if one’s stomach is sufficiently filled. One notices that the Kitchen is in almost constant use. (No reflec tion on the Dining Room!) Coffee, hot chocolate, or tea is almost al ways found to be brewing on the one unit of the stove that works. The refrigerator houses an odd assortment of goodies ranging from thousands of milk cartons to celerj' to prepared Vletracal to Caviar to unironed clothes. The shelves also feature a strange variety of ob jects, the outstanding oddity being the complete lack of plates, cups, saucers with which one generally cannot do without for eating. There is found a large measuring cup which melts in hot water, empty saccarin bottles, coffee jars, cocoa cans, and last but far from least, a swizzle stick with “Latin Quarter—New York” printed on it. If you have been depressed by the “senior slump” that seems to have hit full-force on St. Ma^’s campus this year, read this article written by Bill Hoagland, editor of “The Red and Black” of the University of Georgia. It will brighten an otherwise dreary, or | should I say “dateless”, day. “There is a danger in the world today far more critical and catas trophic than the threats of the most ominous world power—a plot i which has been going on since the beginning of time to overthrow the leaders of the East and West alike. It is the Revolution of Women— a conspiracy hatched by Eve and perpetrated by every female there after to seduce and enslave the entire male population of the world. The women have had it all planned out since before the hey days of Greece and Rome, strengthening their armaments and biding their time until zero day, when they will rise up to dominate the planet and create for them selves a totalitarian utopia. They’ are weakening us by de grees, men capitalizing on then" feminine charms, and playing on our sympathy until they finally get their way. Thus will they break down our resistance untn thej^ have us where they want us, and then it will be too late. Already women are reported to be registered to vote in greater numbers than men. Before long they will band together to elect a woman president. Then all the other strategically placed ladies-^ wives of generals, governors, presi dents, and kings will take ooni- mand overnight and dictate world policy from a position of total supremacy. This highly organized jilot has been going on for centuries, yet only a few of the ladies have slip ped up and shown their hand- Cleopatra, Mata Hari, DelilaE Tokyo Rose, Brigette Bardot, and Helen of Troy are only a few oj the gentler sox who have brougld about the downfall of uieu throughout history. The ones who appear to bo and demure are to be feared nios of all. They- have been trained aiu installed unobtrusively to give us men a false sense of confidence by building up our egos, makm& uj) unsuspecting victims and u the more vulnerable j>roy for the day when they- come into powei- They already have the us — let’s mobilize while 've sc have time. A world emergeucy must be declared, all weapons cou^ fiscated and women restricted jirevcnt this imminent crisis. But then, why figlit the table’? It's probably- too late uo any-way to forestall our momp^^^ of doom, so we may- as well enj - it. It’s a wonderful way to die-
