Class Gives Shows For Wide-Eyed Children Several members of the children’s literature class are shown as they “learn by doing”. From left to right are Anne Lowe, Willie Rhyne, Jane Fearing and Elsie Macon working on their Chinese Shadowgraph, “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer”. Macon. Santa, Rudolph and all the other reindeer were projected By Elsie Macon If 3'ou want to learn to use your hands, be four characters at once, ring sleigh bells, build fires, con nect five extension cords and make them work and run four record players, consult the members of the Children’s Literature class. All last week the 12 girls of the class scurried about with arm loads of material, cardboard, colored paper and tiiu' figures. Thursda)' night tlieir efforts ended with a special Christmas program of three shows for all the facult3' children and friends, their parents and Miss Virginia Hodges’ Brownie Troop. A Chinese Shadowgraph of Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer was given b3' Jane Fearing, Ann Rh3'ne, Ann Lowe and Elsie in shadows on a white screen. The m a i n attraction was Rudolph’s nose which was red as a beet and far too big for his face. Light slione through hia, red cellophane nose to create a red shadow on the screen. A few shadows of fingers and tops of heads appeared that were not in the script. Goldilocks and The Three Bears was given as a marionette show by Peggy Britt, Connie Barnes, Char lotte McGlaughon and Ann Hughes. Peggy Britt pla3'ed the part of Goldilocks, Connie Barnes, bab)' bear; Charlotte McGlaughon, father bear and Ann Hughes, mother bear.

SarMr Watson played the father. Anna Frances Morgan was Hansel and Drane Vaughn, Gretel. This group had a big problem. The four of them had to hide behind a table while giving the show. De spite the elbo3v punches and bump ed heads, the show' was successful. The 12 girls chose the stories and music for the shows and adapted them to script form. Then they took parts as actors, directors and technicians. They “learned to do by doing” as Dr. Welch says. Approximate!)'
