Messick East Carolina College Y Presents Religious Play “If the Light Be Darkness,” a religious satire, written and di rected by Rev. Dan Bowers, was presented as part of the Easter worship under the sponsorship of the Y, March 26. The play revolves around the domineering and highly egotistical Nora Randal, portrayed by An dra Hamilton; her frustrated hus band, Jonathan Randal, acted by Thelbert Whitt; and her self-willed daughter, Alicia, played by Mary Willis Ingram.

Program, a Court Fantasy Adding a note of gaiety and col or to the activities, following the crowning of the Queen, was a pro gram, “Magic Slippers”, written and directed by Miss Cooke and Mr. Bowers.

She is inconsolable, even when the court guards give an entertaining exhibition of their well-drilled paces and when the Queen’s dan cers perform. (Continued on Page 4) Dr. B.
