Salem Team Fifth Annual Parents Day To Begin Saturday
Takes Honor
In Basketball
In a Jjasketball sports day sppn-
**sorel by the Salem Athletic As
sociation, the Salem basketball var-
ifsity came out on top in an elimi-
ffnation tournament involving teams
llfrom six neighboring schools.
In :the final game of the champ-
f^ionship bracket, Salem defeated a
• '(.powerfully offensive Wake Forest
i'Ueani 25-18 in a gymnasium dark-
V'Cned through loss of electric power.
£ The darkness failed to harm the
^^perspective of freshman varsity
'lilniember, Martha McClure, whose
a Mseven out of nine field goal at-
ff tempts saved the game for Salem,
a In Salem’s only other game, the
g.same team, (forwards Martha Mc-
jciure, Anne Miles, Jo Smitherman;
B guards Dhu Jerinette, Jane Wrike,
A Mary Curtis Wrike, and Katherine
Oglesby) defeated Woman’s Col-
lege .32-13.
A hard fighting team from Guil-
ford 'College,, after 'losing to num
ber-two-team Wake Forest, proved
the powerhouse on the consolation
half of the. bracket. The Guilford
girls squeezed by Meredith, 20-22,
and won the consolation champion-
,. .ship by beating Catawba 20-12.
^ 'The Catawba team was unable to
P break into the winning ranks; High
Point won one game and lost one.
JS The highest individual average
was scored by Wake Forest’s Haw-
"J| kins who collected 29 points in two
games. Joy Pennell (High Point),
Martha McClure (Salem), Hinkle
of Wake Forest, and Guilford’s
Gertie Wright all scored over ten
points per game. Anne Miles,
junior varsity member from Salem,
had a nine point average in two
games.
The Wake Forest team compiled
ithe highest game average, showing
an amazing 33-point average in
three games. The Salem tearri
scored 57 points in tw'o games.
Due to, lack of time and close
scheduling, each game consisted of
two six-minute halves.

sportsday was served in the Club
Dining Room. Anne Miles was
hospitality chairman; her commit
tee was composed of members of
the Athletic Association Council.

Dhu Jennette. Her assistant is
•Vfartha McClure.
Academy Game
The Salem basketball varsity de
feated the Academy team, 31-15, in
the gymnasium Tuesday night. Be
fore an enthusiastic Academy
cheering section, the hard-fighting
high-schoolers put up a strong first
half fight before succumbing to the
experience of the slow-starting
college varsity.
Starting team for the college in
cluded forwards Sissie Allen, Mary
jo Wynne, Mimi Joyner, and
guards Margaret MacQueen,
“Tiger” Barron, and Betsy Smith.
Mary Jo’s twelve points was high
for the night. Ann Kearns of the

with three field goals.

By Jo Smitherman
On Tuesday night, exactly two
weeks before the'opening perform
ance, the cast of The House of
Bemarda Alba executed a run-
through of the Spanish drama with
recurring moments of moving in
tensity.
In spite of an excusable lack of
perfection this early in the pre
parations, every line spoken by
sophomore Barbara Evans was
packed with the suppressed emotion
w-hich characterizes her role as a
bitter, frustrated old maid.
Barbara’s restrained, revengeful
performance, at this time the most
convincing, is challenged by others
of her four equally-frustrated sis
ters all of whom are told they
must remain isolated for eight years
following the pre-play death of
their father.
The deliverer and defender of
this order is their mother, Ber-
narda, a conventio n-conscious,
slightly crazy woman whose out
ward sternness is given a rhetori
cal solidity by junior Judy Graham.
Though it is made known early
in the play that Bernarda is de
spised by her maid (played ex
pertly by Emily Baker), who hopes
some day to see Bernarda in the
position of “a lizard squashed and
left by some boys.” Emily’s ex
tremely long and quite varied part
is one; of the major unifying forces
in the play.
Patsy McAuley, star of The
Heiress last year, is cast in the
part of the youngest daughter, a
20-year-old beauty who, in spite of
her mother’s injunction, is “going
to put on her green dress and go
walking in the street.” Patsy’s
smooth-voiced, always-young inter
pretation of the part is in keeping
with the role of irrepressible ideal
ist who believes about the outcome
of her secret love affair: "no one
can stop what has to be.”
The other daughters, played by
Juanita Efird, Marcille Van Liere,
and Julia Parker, even without
costuming and make-up, add in
dividual variety to the group of
women whose common need is a
group of men.
Bernarda, who believes that “for
a hundred miles there’s no one
good enough for them,” . has, in
addition, locked up her psychotic
grandmother (played by Lynne
Hamrick) whose prime desire is
still for a husband. Gloss Jennette
and Carol Crutchfield are, except
for the mourners whom Bernarda
scorns violently, the only characters
who are allowed inside the House
of Bernarda Alba — a bevy of
women “rotting inside because of
what people might say ...”
There is no doubt, judging from
the amount of convincing acting
already being done in rehearsals,
that people will say that the Pier
rettes’ spring production is great.

Symphony To
Perform At
Civic Music
The Winston-Salem Civic Music
.'y.ssociation will present the Hous
ton Symphony Orchestra in Reyn
olds Auditorium on March 7 at ■
8:30 p.m.
The orchestra will be under the
direction of Mr. Milton Katince.
Mr. Katince worked for several
year? under Arturo Toscanini with
the NBC Symphony Orchestra. He
has been guest conductor for other
touring orchestras.
The orchestra was founded in
1913 when a group of thirty-five
players got together to give a trial
concert. The concert was so suc
cessful that they immediately
formed an orchestra. The group
includes experienced musicians, but
it also includes a number of young
players. The average age of the
members of the orchestra is thirty.
The orchestra, composed of
around ninety musicians, has toured
all over the world, and was the
first southern orchestra to tour
above the Mason-Dixon line. Sir
Thomas Beechman has called it the
finest orchestra of the United
States.
