'Our Town' Practice Continues - Opening Date Nears
The St. Andrews Highland
Players will present Thornton
Wilder’s dramatic play “Our
Town,” April 25-26 in the Laur-
inburg High School Auditorium.
This play will mark the begin
ning of dramatic productions
hers at St. Andrews.
The iplay is a dramatization
of the three great adventures
of living — Life, Love, Death.
This is done by centering the
action in the lives of two fam
ilies in the small town o f
Grovers Corners, N. H. To fo
cus 'this theme more clearly
the auithor uses a unique
means, for the entire produc
tion is performed upon a bar
ren stage. This conception is
used to restore significance to
the small details of life. The
audience sees a newsboy throw
ing imaginary newspapers, and
a milkman leading a phantom
horse. These and other sur
prises await the audience as it
sees “Our Town”.
Mr. Harlan Hatcher, Profes
sor of Englisih, Ohio State Un
iversity, speaks of the play
thusly, “Wilder’s play was cut
from the same fabric of hu
mor, nostalgia, simplicity, pre
cision, and metaphysics out of
which his novels were fashion
ed. He is not primarily a dra
matist, though he has many
of 'the qualities from which dra
matists are made.” “Our Town”
marked the triumphant con
clusion of many years of ex
perimentation with one method
of dramaturgy.
The cast is made uip entirely
of students from St. Andrews.

Home Economics Club To
Give Fashion Show Thurs.
The Home Economics Club of
St. Andrews Presbyterian Col
lege will present a fashion show
on Thursday, April 19. at 8:00
p.m. in the left courtyard of
the Liberal Arts Building. All
the fashions which will be
shown have been constructed
by the members of this club
in their various clothing class
es.
This outdoor show will be
highlighted by a number of
fashions which are designed to
interest both the fashion-wise
and economy-minded. An unusu
al aspect of the show will be the
children’s clothes which have
been made in the Family Cloth
ing class and will be modeled
by local children. These are
clothes made especially for
young boys and girls. A num
ber of wool garments construc
ted in last semester’s Tailoring
class will be modeled by their
proud owners. The high point
of the show will be, of course,
the Spring fashions created by
the members of the club.
The theme of this year’s
show is “Miss America on Re
view,” and it covers the span
of America’s changing position
in the fashion world. The
clothes which these girls will
wear are distinctly American.
Some of the outstanding fash
ions include a beige c^hmere
coat worn by Etta Dare Car
son, a magenta wool suit creat
ed by Becky Brooks, a wool
jacket and skirt in dashing red
plaid worn by Judy Phillips,
and a white satin brocade cock
tail dress designed, created and
modeled by Judy Butler.
Mrs. Robert Gustafson will
narrate the fashion show which
will be held in the Liberal
Arts Auditorium in case of
rain. There is no admission
charge, and everyone is cordi
ally invited to attend. Several
door prizes have been donated
by local merchants, among
them a gift certificate from a
local cloth shop, and will be
given to the lucky winners.
The newly elected and in
stalled officers of the Home
Economics Club are: Joyce
Harper, president; Jane Thomp
son, vice-president; Katie Sue
Grady, treasurer; Loreen Man-
gum, reporter, and the secre
tary to be elected.
Yesterday morning the second
installation of Student Govern
ment Officers was held in the
National Guard Armory. The
meeting was called to order by
Annie Duke, the out-going pres
ident of the Student Govern
ment Association. In the Invo
cation, Bunk Spann prayed for
guidance for the leaders of our
community.
The speaker for the morning,
Lee Kanipe, president of the
North State Student Govern
ment Association, was introduc
ed by Miss Duke. Lee is a Sen
ior at Lenoir-Rhyne College.
The topic of his speech was
“W hat is Student Govern
ment?”
Mr. Kanipe compared the
growth of a Student Govern
ment Association with the pro
gress of a child made in learn
ing to crawl, then walk, then
run. “If a phase is skipped then
something important has been
left out.” He chcillenged the au
dience to “help the child, Stu
dent Government, until it can
run.”
He challenged the new offi
cers to “carry on where the
others have left off. Once a
week you are to ask yourself
this question, ‘Am I carrying
out my duties to the best of my
ability?’ ”
Mr. Kanipe challenged the
student body to work hard for
Student Government. “You are
the main element. A chain is
only as strong as its weakest
Jnk, and the chain is not just
the officers, but every one of
you . . . Are you the weakest
link in the chain?”
Annie Duke then expressed
her hope that the out-going of
ficers were giving to the new
officers “a child made to stand
and ready to walk.”
The charge was given to each
group of officers by Dr. Ansley
Moore. This consisted of two
questions, “Will you accept the
office you have been elected
to?” and “Will you promise to
perfotun the duties to the best
of your ability?” He then chal
lenged them to “Be faithful in
their work” and “To set an ex
ample of purity, goodness, and
love.”
Dr. Moore then spoke a word
to all the students. He said “a
certain type of student will set
the tone and course of the
wx)rld tomorrow. Every respon
sible student has certain quali
ties. They are willing to learn
and be taught, they consider
college to be a privilege, and
they have a sense of responsi
bility for those who are to
come after them.” He went on
to say that the administration
has “noticed a growing sense
of responsibility on the part of
a growing number of students.”
He charged the students to ask
themselves, “What plateau are
you striving for? And further
consider, “Is this the final plat
eau?” He continued on by ask
ing, “Is this the ultimate where
you want to level off, or is there
not a higher plateau?”
After a prayer the meeting
was adjourned by Wayne Bal
lard, the president of the Stu
dent Government Association.
