VOLUME LI
Homecoming Slated As Smash Weekend
by CHERYL SPRINKLE
It's Homecoming time again at
Guilford College. Students are at
this moment running around mad
ly, making last-minute touches on
floats to be entered in tomorrow's
competition. Everyone is praying
for a victory over Presbyterian. Of
course, the big question in every
one's mind is, "Who will be the
Homecoming Queen?"

'Picnic' at the Barn
For those students seeking an
evening of top-flight entertainment,
it's to be found, and not too far
from the campus gates, either.
The Barn Dinner Theater opened
a new play Wednesday night called
Picnic. Probably a great majority
of the student body is familiar with
the film version of William Inge's
play starring William Holden and
Kim Novak. Now everyone has a
chance to see it "live."
Barn Director Tony Calabrese
has done a great job and the cast
gives the impression that it is far
from being a novice group.
The play has all the stereotype
characters. It takes place in a small
midwestern town with its rich
man's college son having the high
school-type romance with (the
town's prettiest, but mixed-up, girl
who is the daughter of the typical
social-climbing deserted mother.
The princess has a sister who is the
usual brilliant,, homely type; a
boarder in the house who fills the
role of the frustrated, young old
maid school teacher; an old lady
next door who can't face the fact
that she has lived out her years;
and the died-in-the-wool bachelor.
As the play opens the mother of
the two girls is planning for the
community picnic. Then, enters the
prince, Hal Carter, a college drop
out athlete who is drifting around
the country and drops into town off
the slow freight looking for his rich
buddy, Seymour. Jon Baron takes
all honors playing the role of Hal,

HOMECOMING COURT
From the fifteen girls originally
nominated as homecoming repre
sentatives, five were elected at the
October 14 assembly to be on the
66-67 Homecoming court. These
girls are and will be seen in the
parade on Saturday before the
game. The queen has been chosen
from the five representatives by
THE TAMS
by PHIL PALISOUL
who unfortunately finds that his
rich buddy cannot get him a job
starting at the top.
The first act introduces all the
characters and sets the stage for
the "fairy tale" romance which blos
soms in the second act and lends to
the culmination and real dramatic
action in the third punch.
William Catusi, who pays Alan
Seymour, gives one the impression
that he could be very funny but his
is not a funny part. It is not that
close to tragic and Catusi does a
good job in that he doesn't over
play it.
Rosita Palabay may not be a
Kim Novak, but she's good, and
pretty enough to make the beauti
ful Madge Evans come to life on
the Barn stage in the round.
Madge's mother, Flo Owens,
played by Joanne Marsic, tries her
best to build up her younger,
homely daughter, Millie, played
by Donna Cole and get Madge
married off to Alan Seymour. She
fails as the princess runs off to
chase the prince in the end, but
she doesn't fail as an actress.
In the sub-plot, Frank Eben
turns in a great performance as the
bachelor, Howard Bevans, who is
being chased by the school teach
er, played by Carol Sue Maxson.
They both have some great lines
whch range from the humorous to
very dramatic.
In the best supporting role, Ruth
Noble, playing the lady next door,
adds to the funnier parts and in
many instances, carries the play.

THE FABULOUS FIVE
FREE SETiUPS!
Theatre in the Round, since its
earliest beginnings, has met with
continued success in its role as an
outlet for dramatic art. The Barn
Dinner Theater here in Greensboro
is no exception. Since its beginning
several years ago, several thousands
of patrons have enjoyed top-notch
Broadway shows recreated at their
very best in the "Barn."
Much of the credit is due to the
producer, Howard D. Wolfe, who
has provided the Piedmont section
of North Carolina as well as the en
tire Southeast with excellent "es
tablished" as well as "on their way
up" actors and actresses. They are
honed to fine edge in New York be
fore leaving on a Southern tour of
Mr. Wolf's theaters.
The food that Barn patrons en
joy is something to behold. The
tasty dishes prepared by master
chefs come from many old recipes,
sprinkled just so with international
favorites to make dining at the
Barn a culinarian's delight.

HI/ A. SCOTT PARKER
Although good food and fine en
tertainment are prime requisites for
enjoyable entertaining and social
izing, yet another factor seems to
"make" the Barn. Theater in the
Round is the perfect answer' to
anyone desiring to escape for a
couple or hours from his own paced
activities. It allows an almost magi
cal transition for the patron to be
come "involved" in the play itself.
The Bam, realizing its responsi
bility to the college cominunitv, al
so has enacted a special "college
night" every Sunday. This will per
mit Guilford students as well as
students from other colleges in the
area to a reduced admission price
when they present their identfica
tion cards at the desk. For only
four dollars per person, the Barn
will provide you with a relaxed at
mosphere, an excellently-prepared
meal, free set-ups, and a complete
Broadway production.
Due to the great demand, they
request that you call in your reser
vations.
