"Macon Cheek had the power
to interest, encourage and inspire
his students to an extraordinary
degree. The registration for his
course in Milton quadrupled dur

at the University.
"His students did much more
than simply respect and admire
him they revered' and venerated
him. They were awed by his
great learning, they were inspired
by his devotion to the literature
he deemed highest, they were
enthralled by his power to com
municate his learning and devotion."

game thr.t "must be won."

Wifh 'The Insect Comedy
By DICK BURROUGHS
The final theatrical production
of , the summer, The Insect
Comedy, will be presented tonight
and tomorrow night at the
Forest Theatre beginning at 8:30
o'clock.
More than 40 people have been
cast for this Czecho-Slovakian
fantasy which is a satire on the
insignificances of the human race
the majority of whom are
Junior-Playmakers from the high
schools around the eastern part
of the United States.
This comedy is the main proj
ect for the Junior-Playmakers,
who are here for a five-week
course in the theater. Not only
ere the high-schoolers taking most
of the parts but they also have
built the majority of the sets and
Big Puzzle Contest Solved;
Yeggs Win Bermuda Trip
Three dapper gun-toting ban
dits who said they held up and
robbed the Apex branch bank of
the Durham Bank & Trust Co. of
$42,000 several weeks ago broke
the Summer School Weekly's
Great Puzzle Contest wide open
today when they calmly walked
into the newspaper's offices in
Graham Memorial and claimed
the grand prize of a free trip to
Bermuda for "capturing" them
selves. The trio of hip-swingers, their
faces masked by red, blue and
yellow polka dot bandanas,
readily admitted their guilt but
refused to tell who they were.
"What!" they exclaimed. Give
you our names and have them
lousy cops come down to Bermuda
props along with preparing the
intricate costumes which are
needed in order to depict the vari
ous insects seen during the play.
The main purpose of the five
week course is to teach the
fundamental aspects of the the
ater. There are four courses of
fered from which a student must
choose three to take each day. The
classes are taught by people
connected with the Carolina
Playmakers and include "In
troduction to the Theater," "Act
ing," "Voice and Diction" and
"Stage Craft."
It is unfortunate that there are
so many young ladies in the
group and so few of the male sex.
Many of the parts which are
played by girls could be carried

The tallest of the three then
twirled both his guns, stuck one in
the editor's ribs, and said:
"And don't overlook that we
came in person instead of you
coming after us, so we get that
bonus of three additional days at
one of them plushie hotels."
The contest judges looked
askance at this turn of affairs
and went into a huddle.
Emerging with broad smiles
some moments later, they agreed
to give the yeggs tickets and
expenses for the Bermuda trip as
prize winners upon condition the
bandits put up 10 per cent of
their loot as evidence of good
