IRENE RUMMAGE
When Tiene R'mmage, dramatic'
rts major, gives her recital in Moon
ey Chapel this evening it will feature
something new in dramatic presen
tations at Elon. Highlighting the
’jrogram wil be her delivery of three
^Iramatic monolugues. The second
part of her program will be the
presentation of a one-act play, “The
Long Christmas Dinner”, which i'
staged and directed by her.
Irene, who has taken about every
^'irsp in dramatics to be offered at
T^Jlon during the past three years, has
heen undrgoing a more intensivs
training course under Mrs. Elizabeth
R. Smith’s private instruction this
year. Her recital will climax her
dramatic studies and work here at
'Ion. The selections which the young
’’■am^ student hfis chosen offer an
OTortunity to express a wide range
t emotions. Humor, tragedy, poig
nancy, anger, devotion, and con-
ntion are all contained in the three,
M?tinctively different monolugues.
As reearHs "The Long Christmas”,
his is an intensively dramatic piece
hich gave Irene mnay problems to
TOP v'ith m connection with its
lireetion a"d staeing. Her all-student
cast has, however, been very coop-
rative during rehearsals, and ha'
esponded to her directions with a
ninimum of confusion. Irene is es-
oecially grateful to Mrs. Smith for
he assistance she gave in the pro
duction of the play.
The recital wil take place Wednes
day evening, April 14, in Mooney
Chapel. Curtain time is 8:15. There
ill be no admission charge, and the
student body and faculty are invited
to attend.

BEES
Our bovs more than even matters
with the Bees, Saturday night, sound
ly thumping the Carolina league
champs 16-4 in an abbreviated seven
inning contest.
The few loyal Burlington fans who
braved the cold weather were re
warded with another dismal perform
ance by Buddy Bates’ new and young
outfit. Coach Mallory's crew jumped
on three Bee twirlers for twelve hits
ind seven errors helped Elon amass
their sixteen runs.
The Fighting Christians scored five
■uns in the bottom half of the first
inning on the same number of hits
■?nd three base on balls. They added
two more in the third on two bingles
9 sacrifice and an outfield error.
Burlington came up with their
first two runs in the top of the fourth
"'ouDlin'? two hits and as many walks
‘o produce the talie's. Elon came back
in the final half of the inning with
five more big runs, touching Lefty
Gottsman for three hits and receiving
^ive bases on balls to aid in the
rjause.
The Bees score single runs in the
•'’ifth ard sixth but the Fighting
Christians continued their scoring
snree with a lone tally in the fifth
on an error, a walk and a single and
tl'.en recorded three more in the next
inning on a single, two walks and two
errors.
For Elon it was the sixth victory
in nine starts and for the slugging
Gene Caviness it was the ninth
straight game in which he has hit
safely. The big rightfielder had two
