Co-Op Election Results Told
Mrs. Holsworth
Honored By Club
At Career End
Last night was the end of an era
at Atlantic Christian College. Tlie
curtain fell on Mrs. Doris Hols-
worth’s final drama production at
the college — “Hedda Gabler.”
Mrs. Holsworth, known to mem
bers of Stage and Script as “Duch
ess,” is scheduled to leave in June
and join the Peace Corps. She has
been at ACC as a member of the
English faculty for the past 15 years.
In this time, she had directed some
75 plays for Stage and Script and
countless outside projects,
at the close of the performance
last night, Bob Lindley presented
Mrs. Holsworth with a volume of
bound letters collected from Stage
and Script members for the past 15
years.
The dedication was printed on
back of the program and was ti
tled “To Our Director.”
It read as follows:
‘With this production of ‘Hedda
Gabler’ an era comes to a close. Our
director, Mrs. Holsworth, is retiring
in June and is joining the Peace
Coips.
“ ‘There’s no people like show
people,’ there’s no director like
Script. She has the art to work us to
death, without our even knowing it;
you cannot tell her ‘no’; that word
along with ‘impossible’ is not in her
vocabulary. You cannot know her
without loving her.
“A woman who is a symbol, a
symbol of vitality, of courage and of
accomplishment. A woman who has
taught us to act, to look into spot
lights without blinking, to do a job
well; but she cannot teach us to
calm the butterflies of opening night.
“She has the dedication of Joan
of Arc, the intestinal fortitude of
David, and the understanding of Solo
mon.
“It seems that we are building her
up to the sky, and we mean to do
just that. We want her to know
how much we, the members of Stage
and Script, the student body, the
faculty and the citizens of Wilson
appreciate her art.
“To you. Duchess, a very simple,
humble and appreciative, Thank
you.”
