The inusic department welcomes
three new students to the campus for
the second semester, and wishes each
of them a happy and productive year.

The department also welcomes the
return of two fine students who at
tended here last year, and have re
turned for the second semester here.
They are Michael Morgan and Allen
Dameron, both college freshman. Mike
is a double bassist, but we are sure
the orchestra wishes he would con
sider studying violin. Allen, who
is a pianist, will study accompanying
with Dr. Herbert Horn.
In honor of the visit of the
Princess Irene of Greece, Saturday,
January 28, the orchestra of NCSA
gave a memorable concert.
Under the baton of Dr. Saul
Caston, they performed the ’’Over
ture to the Marriage of Figaro” by
Mozart. Then Joseph Smith, a stu
dent of Olegna Fuschi, joined the
orchestra for Beethoven’s ’’Piano
Concerto N\amber 1.” Princess Ire.pe
was escorted backstage by Dr, Mehnini
to congratulate Cr. Caston, Mr. Smith,
and the orchestra.
After the concert there was a
reception held for the Princess in
the school library.
Earlier in the afternoon in a
private recital, the Princess also
heard James Butt, pupil of Howard
Aibel, play Lizst’s ’’Rhapsody” no.

BERNARDA UNDERWAY
(con’t from p. 2)
’’You cannot force reality in
Bernarda.” commented Dr. Riofrancos.
”It requires truthfulness in casting.
You can make up a face, but not the
eyes.”
As an example, auditions \dere
held in New York over the Christmas
holidays for the role of the cruel
widow, Bernarda. Sixty actresses
were auditioned, and none accepted.
Greatly disappointed. Dr. Riofrancos
returned to NCSA to find his Bernarda
waiting here for him in the person
of Mrs. Kelly'Green of Winston-Salem.
Mrs. Green, originally from Asheville,
N.C., is now a special student in
Drama and has many years of theatre
experience behind her. Her past
■works include parts in The Chalk Gar
den, Auntie Mame, Gypsie and Picnic.
