Gene Key Is Editor of 'The Guilfordian';
Jase Rails-Dan Warren Ticket Wins
Barter Theatre Gives
'Hamlet'; Lead Role
Is Taken by Cronyn
The Barter Theatre of Virginia
presented "Hamlet," for its 2X>th
production, here at Guilford Col
lege on Saturday, March 5, in Me
morial Hall.
The audience was fortunate in
deed to have the pleasure of seeing
Hume Cronyn, well-known stage and
screen actor, in the title role.
Though one would commonly think
of Hamlet s someone quite tall in
stature, Hume's brilliant acting and
portrayal of the role overcame his
size. He was disapiHiinting in only
one place. That was the first solilo
quy, "To he or not to be." It seemed
to fall flat; however, the second
soliloquy was marvelous.
Gerry Jedd as Ophelia certainly
ranked next to Iluine in her beauty
of the sensitiveness of the role. Her
mad scenes were positively scintil
lating.
In Leo ChalzeFs portrayal of Po
lonius, he withdrew for each f his
lines all the intensity Shakespeare
had written therein, nnd definitely
ranks on an equal level with Hume
and Gerry.
Frederic Warriner was very suc
cessful in rendering Claudius, the
pseudo-king of Denmark, into the
distasteful character which Shake
speare had drawn: and with him,
Josephine I'arker, as Gertrude, the
Queen of Denmark, whose heart
played havoc with her head, should
be mentioned.
Mell Turner was perhaps the most
versatile member among the assist
ing cast, serving ns Osric-, a fantas
tic fop, as effectively as he did as
Rosencrantz, the former fellow-stu
dent of Hamlet,
Ray Boyle as Horatio, James An
drews as Laertes, and Ernest Borg
nine as Guidenstern were so ex
celent in their parts as to make
Guilfordians wish to see more of
these very promising young players.
The dance sequence rendered by
Robert Pastene, Katherine Green
and James Andrews, highlighted the
piny in moments when it had begun
to drag and captured new interest

"girlie" show on the twenty

Relief Opportunities
Offered by Friends
Service Committee
Work camps, seminars, and insti
tutes, interneships in industry and
cooperatives, and work in mental
and correctional institutions will
be among the service opportunities
offered to college students this sum
mer by the American Friends Ser
vice Committee, it was announced
today by Stephen G. Cary, Director
of the American Section of the Qua
ker organization.
Work camps and community ser
vice units will be held in the United
States, Mexico, and Europe. In the
United States, the campers will help
build recreational and community
facilities in such parts of the coun
try as the slum area of North Rich
mond, California; the cottton lands
of Southeast Missouri; among the
Indian tribes of Wisconsin; or in
nn interracial area of Corpus Chris
ti, Texas.
In Mexico, Service Committee
volunteers will work in half a dozen
villages, conducting handicraft pro
grams, working in medical clinics,
and helping build schools and pro
vide sanitary facilities for villages.
It is also hoped that the Service
Committee volunteers will be able
to take part in a project planned by
the Mexican Government along lines
laid down by UNESCO. The first
step of this project is to move a
village from low, swampy ground to
a higher, more healthy place.
The Service Committee will send
approximately 60 young Americans
to participate in work camps in 11
countries of Europe. There the cam
pers will help people In war-devas
tated villages and cities rebuild
homes, schools, community centers,
and playgrounds.
Other young men and women will
study problems of international co
operation and peace in seven-week
International Service Seminars and
in ten-day Institutes of International
Relations. In both projects, well
known authorities on international
affairs are available as faculty mem
bers, discussion leaders, and ad
visers. Seminars and Institutes will
be located in New England, the
Middle West, and the West.
Those who are interested in in
dustrial relations and the problems
of labor may participate in the In
terne-in-Industry projects which will
be sponsored by the Committee in
Philadelphia, Chicago, and Kansas
City. In this project, internes get
their own jobs on the competitive
labor market, work the same hours
as their fellow factory workers, and
receive the same pay. A program of
discussions and field trips rounds
out their industrial experience.
In Institutional Service Units, an
other group of young people will
work in mental hospitals, homes for
the mentally retarded, homes for
juvenile delinquents, women's re
formatories, and in a county jail.
Details about these projects may
be obtauied from the American
Friends Service Committee, 20 South
12th Street, Philadelphia 7, Penn
sylvania, or from Greensboro, North
Carolina, Box 27, Woman's College.

NUMBER 7
It's tonight, Folks! Yes, to
night, it's the Penguin club with
their second annual "strictly formal"
dance. Dancing will be in the college
gymnasium from 8:30 until 11:45
to the music of Dick Devin and his
orchestra, from Raleigh.
Last year a group of enterprising
students, realizing that Guilford
had never enjoyed an all formal
dance on the campus, organized a
club for the sole purpose of sponsor
ing such a dance. Featuring Mau
rice Purtilf and his orchestra, it
was easily the best and most
memorable dance in the history of
the college. Again this year, the
club would like to have as many
students on the campus present at
the dance.
Tickets are $1.50 drag and SI.OO
stag for all those who are not mem
bers of the Penguin Club. Students
may invite any outside guests to
accompany them to the affair. Please
remember, however, that all guests
must, be registered with the Dean
of Women before noon, tomorrow.
Although Dick Levin and his or
chestra have never played on the
Guilford compus before, the repu
tation of the band has reached the
ears of many Guilfordians. The
band has played for the Governors
Hall in Raleigh, the Engineers Ritu
al Dance at State College, and
dances at such colleges as Peace and
Pfieffer, and many other schools and
clubs. Playing all the latest tunes,
the band features Cliff Eller and
Betty Brown as their vocalists.
Students are reminded that no
flowers are allowed, and that no
girl will be admitted to the dance
wearing a corsage.
The following are charter mem
bers of the Penguin Club: Ed Alex
ander, Larry Crawford, Ed Skinner,
Jase Ralls, John Schrum, Dan Yates,
Tom Riddle, Gayle Craddock, Sol
