CALENDAR OF EVENTS Feb. IG Farrago Coffeehouse presents the Calloway Co. Feb. 17 “Saturday at St. An drews" Feb. 19-24 Student Association Officers Self-Nominations Feb. 21-24 Highland Players present ‘ Oh Dad, Poor Dad” SA Grads Cited Mrs. Gaynell Arnette Melton and Mrs. Betty T. Baldwin, graduates of St. Andrews, have been named two of the nation’s outstanding early education tea chers by GRADE TEACHER magazine. Mrs. Melton, presently teaching at East Belmont School, Belmont, North Caro lina, and Mrs. Baldwin, pre sently teaching at Battlefield Park, Mechanicsville, Virginia, are two of 180 women cited by GRADE TEACHER as an in spiration to educators at all grade levels. The awards were announced after a national survey of school systems was made. GRADE TEACHER publisher Allen Raymond said “These outstanding teachers have in common a love affair with their job, a sense of adventure in the classroom, and an interest in and affection for young child ren.” pletely out of touch with the world; his widowed mother, Ma dame Rosepettle, who keeps her son locked up and her spouse as per the title; and Jonathan’s girl friend Rosalie, a female of dubious virture who very literally rocks his cradle. Asked to pinpoint the theme of this avantgarde piece of black comedy, director Siddall re flected the “Kopit is saying life has very little meaning-- though we can spend a whole lifetime looking for it. I think Madame Rosepettle sums it up rather well when she asks her son, ‘What is the meaning of all this-?’ ” The cast leads come to “Oh Dad” from past plays in which they have performed well. Kaye Comer, the winsome Helen in “Trojan Woman”, will portray Rosepettle, the villanious he roine; and Joe Mitchell, once the comic Sewer Man in “Mad woman”, in coming on as the stuttering Jonathan. Rosalie is to be played by Kathy Pooley; and the cameo role of Commodore Roseabove, the one character with a nodding acquaintance with sanity, will be filled by Ruste Righton. Todd Davis is the lieutenant in charge of a trio of oppressed bellboys, Bill Bradley, Jed Howell and Hal Crowe. A set for the show has been created by Dub Narromore, at tempting to capture the flavor of the Carribbean, where the story takes place. Julia Wilson is in charge of costumes; and visual effects are in the hands of Judy Barnum, lighting artist, and Harry Ilaga, lighting tech nician.
