Elon Choir Will Present
‘IVIessiah’ December 2nd
The Elon College Choir will pre
sent its thirtieth annual rendition
of Handel’s immortal oratorio,
"The Messiah," in Whitley Audit
orium at 4 o’clock on Sunday af
ternoon. December 2nd, the first
Sunday following the annual
Thanksgiving holiday period. This
was revealed in an announcement
from the Elon College music de
partment this week.
This program by the Elon Choir
has been an outstanding feature of
the Yuletide season in this area
of the North Carolina piedmont tor
a full three decades. The student
musical group presented “The
Messiah” for the first time in 1933,
Almost always the Wliitley Aud
itorium is filled to capacity by
music lovers of the area, and there
have been years in which the aud
itorium overflowed, and it was nec
essary for the overflow to listen
to the inspiring music by a public
address system or hear it through
the facilities of local radio sta
tions. Many persons return year
after year to listen to tlie great
arias and the swelling choruses
ot the Handel masterpiece.
The story of this oratorio is, of
course, that of the prophecies and
anticipations of the coming ot
Christ, of his suffering and death
upon the Cross and finally of his
glorious Resurrection. Handel
wrote the oratorio in a period of
just twenty-three days between
August 22nd and September 14th
in 1741, it is said that few. If any,
of the world’s great musical cre
ations have tieen heard by more
people in more widespread loca
tions.
The 1962 program here at Elon
will again be presented under the
direction of Prof. Charles Lynam,
who first took part in the presen
tation as a student singer in the
Elon Choir. He has since appeared
as one ot the guest soloists, and
since becoming a faculty member
he has appeared on the podium
as director. Again appearing this
year as organ accompanist will be
Prof. Fletcher Moore, who has had
that role in the program for many
years.
It has been customary each year
to in\ite four guest artists to ap
pear in the solo roles with the Elon
Choir, and Professor Lynam this
"eek announced that all of the
guest soloists have been invited
ffir the forthcoming event. Frances
Wilson, of Reidsville, will appear
as contralto soloist, while Jeanne
Vernon, of Danville, Va., will sing
the soprano solos.
Other soloists will be Paul Hink-
fang, bass, a member of the Wo
man’s College faculty in Greens
boro: and William Kirkpatrick,
tenor, of Graham, who is widely
known through this section for his
concert and radio work.
Spann Speaks
For Student
Business Club
The first in a series of speak
ers to be presented by the Busi
ness Club, Michael Spann of Bur
lington Industries, spoke to the
club and its guests Thursday night,
November 8th, in Mooney Lounge.
Spann’s talk dealt with what
au interviewer might look for when
interviewing college seniors for
after-graduation jobs. He told his
audience that an questions asked
by an interviewer help in making
the decision as to whether the
student is the kind of person his
company would be interested in
hiring,
“The first impression that the
interviewer makes will be lasting
one, and necessarily should be the
most important one from the stu
dent’s standpoint,” Spann aeclar-
ed.
The Business Club. wlJch is
striving to be a more helpful org
anization for business administra
tion students, plans to have a se
ries of speakers from different
aspects of the business field to bet

great French dramatic masterpiece, oi the CTJCh ii F'-a;ik Rich, ot Burlington, who gave a

ed left to right with him are Carol T a'2.:jr, of A.-nold, Md., who appeared as Toinette, the Acdin
family maid: and Peggy Dodson, f Liberty, who has the rile of lieliiij. Monsieur Ardin’s shrewish
and conniving wife.

Business Manager W, E. Butler,
Jr., represented Elon College at
the annual meeting of the Caro-
linas Group of the National Assoc
iation of Educational Buyers,
which was at St. Andrews College
in Laurinburg for two days during
the first week of November.
The meeting, which attracied
business managers and purchasing
agents from colleges throughout
the two Carolinas, featured dis
cussion of various institutional
buying problems. Elon was one of
four colleges which appeared on a
feature panel that reported the
“best buys" of the past year.
There was high praise for the
i:ion Players following their initial
pre.scntation last night of Rh)liere’s
1 hi’ Imamnaiy liiv;ilid” in .Moon
ey Chapel Theatre, The .\loliere
masterpiece, which is the first
production for the student dramat
ic group this year, will be repeated
tonight and Saturday night, with
curtain lime each night at 8 o’
clock.
Frank Rich, of Burlington, has
tl'c lead role of Monsieur Ardin,
the confirmed hypochondriac;
turned in an outstanding perform
ance in his first role with the Elon
Players. He had extensive exper
ience in high school dramatics, but
his previous stage work here at
Elon had been confined to a dra
matic reading.
Matching Rich for the excellence
of nis performance was Carol Tra-
geser, one of the veterans of the
Klon Player theatre performances
on the campus, who appears in
(he Toinette, the Ardin family
maid. She joins with John Autry,
appearing as Beralde, in showing
up the tricks of Beline, the shrew
ish wife of Monsieur Ardin.
The role of the conniving wife,
proved one of the features ot the
show, for Peggy Dodson, of Lib
erty. although she is a newcomer
to the Elon stage, proved by a
sterling performance that she Is
a coming star, and she will prob
ably be much seen in future Play
er presentations.
Appearing the center of much
of the conniving and plotting in
the Moliere production is Ange-
lique, the daughter of -Monsieur
Ardin, for her father insists that
she marry the young doctor, Thom
as Defois, in order that Ardm
himself may have medical care
tor himself right in the' farally.
Beline, the mother, on the other
hand, seeks to place her daughter
in a convent as a nun in order
that Beline herself may inherit
Ardin’s estate.
Both Marie deJong of Roselle,
1N. J.. appearing as Angelique. the
daughter, and George Diaz, of
Great Neck, N. in the role of
the young doctor, did excellent
jobs in their roles: but the label
of real comer and probable future
star goes to Tyrone Rowell, ot
Henderson, who quite literally
stole a number scenes in which
he appeared as Mon.sieur DeFois,
: a doctor himself and the father
lot the young doctor and prospec-
jtive husband.
Others in supporting roles in the
{shew, all of whom did good work,
jare Albert Baer, of West Spring
field, .Mass., as Cleante; Gay Yule,
of Bluffton, Ind.. as Louis; Hunt
er Dula, of Hillsboro, as Monsieur
de Bonnefoi; Frank Harris,
Ruffin, as Monsieur Fleurante; and
Paul Robinson, of Fairfield, Conn.,
as Monsieur Pourjon.
