Students Make Course Pay
The first class of graduates in
cosmetology from Southeastern
Community College already has
achieved an unusual measure of
early success.
Fourteen were graduated
recently, and the entire group
also passed the N.C, State Board
of Cosmetic Arts exaipinations,
which they took shortly after
being graduated. In addition, all
14 began careers in cosmetology
immediately after passing the
state board exams.
This sequence of successes is
described by George Howard,
dean of Southeastern s
technical-vocational division, as
“a real mark of distinction.” He
said, “We’re very happy with
this. It reflects much credit on
the class, the instructor, and the
college.”
The cosmetology course is a
12-month program, accredited
by the State Board of Cosmetic
Arts, and it was added to the
vocational curriculum last year.
Mrs. Betty Biggs of
Wilmington is the instructor, and
Howard paid tribute to her
making the announcement of
results of the state board exams.
He also said that 13 of the
graduates are beginning their
careers in North Carolina, and
one has gone to Pennsylvania to
work as a cosmetologist.
The graduates include: from
Whiteville—Lannie S. Blackwell,
Deborah J. Sibbett, Carolyn J.
Jones, Wanda K. Watts, Wanda
C. Green and Deborah U. Gore.
Lake Waccamaw—Betty C.
Harris and Evonne F. Little.
Hallsboro—Sheldia F. Smith.
Nakina-Betty J. Hawes.
White Oak—Glynda McLamb.
Clarendon—Judy D. Todd.
Elizabethtown—Elizabeth J.
Wilson. Marlboro, S.C.—Sarah G.

Leading Lady All Her Career
Mary Godwin, who presented
the first 1968 Fine Arts show
for Southeastern, playing
Shakespeare’s leading lady, has
been a leading lady throughout

schools in England. One of her
great teachers was Gustav Host,
composer of “The Planets,” one
of the most famous
compositions ever written. Mrs.
Godwin received many awards
while pianist, including an award
for a piano contest for The
Whole Of The United Kingdom.
She received her degree in music
at the age of 18.
Upon discovering her ability as
-an actress, Mrs. Godwin gave up
her piano career to study drama.
She studied in Guild Hall under
Dame Sybil Thorndyke,
probably the greatest actress in
the world. Sir Lewis Casson,
husband of Sybil was also one of
her instructors as was Sir Tyrone
Guthrie.
Mrs. Godwin’s last mstruaor
of drama was the famous. Sir
Phillip Ben Greet, who also
played opposite her on several
occasions.
Being well qualified in her
field, Mrs. Godwin, along with
her husband, moved to Canada
and started the first Canadian
Shakespearian Festival. The
Festival was given by a company
of actors and actresses from all
over the worid, once interested
in drama of Shakespeare, now
performing it.
Mr. Godwin designed a copy
of the Globe Theatre for the
performance of the plays and
Mrs. Godwin designed the
costumes.
Mrs. Godwin said that one of
her funniest experiences whUe
performing Shakespeare was

Play Director
Leads Busy Life
Mrs. Almeda Viets director of
the play “Bus Stop” is a busy
person. In addition to the usual
duties of a wife and mother, she
also finds time to help her
husband, Don Viets, general
manager of the local radio
station, paint, help with art
exhibits at the Peoples Savings
and Loan, and serve as “traffic
director” for her family.
Mrs. Viets says art and writing
were her first loves. Then she
decided to study fashion
designing. She went to New
York to study but found she was
spending most of her time with
theatre people. She studied
drama at the Schuster-Martin
School in Ohio and this led to a
job in summer stock in Tiverton,
Rhode Island where she met her
husband.
After this Mrs. Viets had three
of her own special productions,
Donny, Bill and Kelly, the Viets
children. She was active in the
Whiteville Little Theatre until it
disbanded. Mrs. Viets says a
number of the charter members
of this group have been
associated with the College
productions. She feels that
working together has promoted
a better understanding between
the townspeople and the college
group.
When asked about the current
production Mrs. Viets says that
William Inge’s play creates a
mood. There is no one central
theme but three seperate love
themes. Inge shows little
segments of life. She points out
that the play is different from
the movie—“It’s much better
balanced.”
Mrs. Viets admits she finds
directing much more satisfying
than acting. “With directing you
feel that you have created
something
complete.”
production hits a low when
nothing goes right. You hate the
whole thing and everybody hates
you.” But presumably when
you’ve hit bottom you start up,
then the time comes when it
goes on wheels. Mrs. Viets says
she Is very pleased with the
production at present.

Lome Greene (better known as
Pa Cartright), who was with her
company. Mr. Greene was
playing a part in which he had to
wear a beard, but somehow he
had forgotten to paste it on
securely. When Mrs. Godwin
came to the part in the play
where she had to slap him, she
did so, only to find that the
beard came off in her hand.
After the Canaflian-Shake-
spearian theatre lasted for ten
years they decided to
discontinue it, but Mrs. Godwin
and her company wanted to
perform Shakespeare for colleges
and schools, which Mrs. Godwin
is still doing.
“I feel that every character h^
colors of their own and style is
very important.” says Mrs.
Godwin.
Mrs. Godwin is the mother of
three children, of which none
are actors but are very interested
in the field. Her hobbies are oil
painting and working with
ceramics.
“Southeastern is the warmest
and most responsive school that
I have ever performed in.” Mrs.
Godwin stat^.
