Alphas Present Drama, Iphigenia' The Beta Iota Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity presented to the faculty and stu dent body, a Greek play, Iphi- genia in Aulis by Euripides. The cast consisted of Agamemnon, Choir Gives Exciting Christmas Program By Frankie Smith The concert was an over whelming success. An estimated 1,000 persons attending said so. They expressed their feelings by their applause during the program and with their words after the program. This all happened at Fries Auditorium Sunday, Dec. 13 when the Winston-Salem State College choir under the direc tion of Dr. James A. Dillard pre sented its annual Christmas con cert. Campus students, city stu dents, city residents and visitors from neighboring cities and states came to hear the singers perform. The 60 members of the choir sang with the voices like those of the angels who sang at the first Christmas. Blended with the harmony and sweetness of the voices was the beautifully arranged background scene of the Nativity on a starlit night. This scene depicted the Vir gin Mary and Child with Joseph and the angels watching over them. Persons in the nativity scene included Oraetta Beavers as Mary and James Smith as Joseph. Highlighting the works pre sented on program was Bach’s “Motet No. 6,” a lively piece done in German with exclama tions of praise to God and many alleluias. Featured as soloists in various selections were: Madelyne Guilford, soprano for Hoggard’s “Gloria in Excel- sis,” Deitra Eaton, alto; Gloria Barringer and Johnnie Jones, sopranos, and William McGill, tenor, all in Ringwald’s “The Christmas Story.” The Christmas Story was more dramatic because of the narra tor. Robert V. Carson. Jr., the lighting, and of course, the ex pressions and interpretations given by the singers. Other works performed by the choir were Mendelssohn’s “Be hold! God the Lord Passed By” from “Elijah,” Lee’s “The Face of Moses Shone’’ and Parry’s "There Is an Old Belief.” The Rev. Henry S. Lewis. Jr.. college chaplain, closed the pro gram with benediction.

Argument Iphigenia, the daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, has been summoned by her fath er to the island of Aulis under the pretext that she is to marry the Greek hero. Achilles. She is actually being summoned to be sacrificed to the goddess Arte mis so that the Greek army may be granted favorable winds to sail for Troy. Agamemnon repents his rash act and writes a second letter telling Clytemnestra not to bring the girl. The brother, Menelaus. in whose behalf the war is to be fought, and who is burning for revenge for his wife Helen’s going to Troy, waylays the messenger carrying the sec ond note. In the meantime, not only Iphigenia but also her mother comes to Aulis. When Clytem nestra greets the unsuspecting Achilles as her futiu-e son-in- law, he is dumbfounded, and the deceit of Agamemnon is dis closed. Clytemnestra is enraged; Ach illes, incensed at being made a pawn of Agamemnon’s deceit, resolves to defend Iphigenia against those ready to sacrifice her. At this turn of events, Iphi genia proves her loyalty and courage: since the safety of the Greeks depends upon the sacri fice, she is ready to die for her country.
