Page Four THECAMPUSECHO Monday, November 28, 1960 A Freshmen Women Put In The Know Streeter Chosen To Represent By Guytanna Horton The two freshman women’s dormitories, McLean and Annie Day Shepard Halls, presented recently separate cultural pro-\ grams in the parlors of the re spective dormitories. Immediately following the regular vesper services, a cul-» tural program began in Annie Day Shepard Hall with • Mrs. Julia Harris, the first house mother, as guest speaker. Mrs. Harris, who has grown with the school, gave the young women a vivid account of its history. She| related to the young women many human interest stories. She spoke of the time when Dr. Shepard, the president, was upset because there was no food for the students. He asked his wife not to ring the dinner bell that day. His wife insisted that the bell be rung. At 4:30 p.m., the bell was rung and at 5:00 p.m., the students were fed. Mrs. Shepard had sent a dis tress signal to Mrs. Shepard, the president’s mother. The presi dent’s mother had secured the aid of many friends in the neighborhood who sent food tO’ the school. These stories cannot be found in the cold facts of thei iustory of NCC, but they were very instrumental in NCC’s de velopment. Mrs. -larris also related the story behind the naming of the buildings on cajnpus. She in cluded O’Kelly Fxeld. There was an instructor, \ Cad Granti O’Kelly, who was'very interest ted in the athletic program of the school. (In his years here, O’Kelly served in v'arious capa- .cities: vice-president, personnel dean, and teacher \jin various fields.) He not onlyl supported the athletic program Vith his at tendance but aided financially, .and secured funds to hftlp in the program. The name “Eagle” wa$ suggested by him to be the school’s emblem and it was ac^ cepted by the committee. Later, the football field was named for him. Besides the addtess, a solo was presented by Vernall Cowan accompanied by Doris Rice, a senior counselor. Parthenia McCUll, a senior counselor, presided with Mrs. K. Thompson, the house directress. The group was served coffee and cake. Later during the same evening in McLean Hall another cultural program began. Dr. R. S. W. John, Chairman of the Music Department of NCC, addressed the group of young women on 4he lyceum _ series. Dr. John ex plained how the annual series is chosen, and what is scheduled for the coming year. Dr. John’s speech aroused curiosity, and was followed by a question and answer period. Hermione Prioleau accompan nied by Doris Green, both fresh men, rendered music for thej event. Constance Howie, a senior counselor, was mistress of ceremonies along with Miss J. Smith, house directress of the hall. The refreshments were punch and cookies. The yoimg women presented a gift to Dr. John as a token of their appreciation. The Cynic (continued from page 2) moved to more vigorous protest it kicks the benches beneath it; if it becomes angry it may frighten an actor off the stage with olives, figs, or stones. Iii the play there is no suspense and no surprise, but instead, the pleasures of anticipation and re cognition.” A frightful audience indeed did the Ancient Greeks make. But in comparison with the 1960 Dionysian worshippers they*, were as calm as grandmothers in, a Sunday knitting session. While the play was in progress this modern audience shouted its ap proval or disapproval, and al ternately cursed and praised the actors. The play of this modern-day festival had a large cast—22 ac tors dressed in vari-colored clown suits—and a simple plot—chase the ball. This play, entitled “Football,” was per formed by truly professional ac tors. They stomped on each other, threw each other down, butted heads, and committed all sorts of violent act's feasible in the limited time set aside. The play itself, in which there wasi no suspense and no surprise, ended with one set of actors out-i stomping, outbutting, and out- mayhemming the other; much to the approval of the worshippers. During the 1960 Great Diony- sia the worshippers general atti tude was that one who did noti attain a state of exuberance! through the use of Dionysus’ alcoholic wares was a witless! fool. Consequently, there were very few witless fools abouti and nearly all worshippers at tained that state of frenzied exuberance required of Diony sus. That all this should occur oni the campus of an institution o;^ higher learning—for shame! LiTTLE MAN ON CAMPUS r: II McCall Proclaimed Senior Of Month By Sheryl E.
