.\pril 20, 1956 Page Three Faculty’s Children Have Entertainment In Store By Jane Wrike The members of the children's literature class have been working for several weeks on how to en tertain the faculty’s children. A {s«it){)et show, a marionette show, and a Chinese shadowgraph are in- diided in the program. A show for children sounds like ail easy project, but the members ot the class found that their prob lems were more numerous than Mutting on a Tennessee Williams The class first had to choose ap pealing stories for children. The members of the class were suddenly transformed into script writers, 4 f e c t o r s, stage managers, and Judy Golden Comments On Drama Review By Judy Golden On Tuesday night Miss Reigner’s drama production class directed two plays. Patsy McAuley directed two short scenes from Ondine, starring Terry Harmon as Ondine and Bill Darcy as Hans, the Prince with ?hom she falls in love. Terry played her part with a lightness and piquancy that en tranced the audience. She flitted about the stage as she berated and Flattered the Prince alternately, to his great surprise. Bill Darcy as Hans gave a naturalness to his part ?liat hinted at professional acting. Me fitted into his part with com- • iete ease and maturity. Bob Grubbs, who directed Ten nessee Williams’ Mooney’s Kid Don’t Cry, also played the lead. Me portrayed with originality the part of a man who was frustrated and thwarted by his environment. He is different from the toiling men who surround him and has flights of insight and fancy that make him obviously different. Bob has a very convincing and forceful acting ability. Both students did an excellent job On their plays. The sets were realistic and modern. The move ments of the actors seemed to have been well planned and executed and the projection of their voices was especially good. The large audience for the re view shows a rising interest in campus dramatic activities. IRC Elects Woilier For Next Year The International Relations Club has recently elected its officers for the coming year. Nancy Walker will replace Kay Williams as pre sident, and Celia Smith is the new vice-president. Mary Ann Hag- wood will take over Margaret Hogan’s duties as secretary of the club. The IRC functions primarily to promote on campus a better under standing of other countries and their relations with the United States. One of the active projects of the group is corresponding with foreign students who have been here in past years. This is done m an effort to keep in contact with those who have brought the culture and ideas of other countries to Salem. Throughout the year, the club engages speakers and visitors who We informed about other countries. During the coming year, accord ing to the president, the club will take advantage of every oppor tunity to bring interesting people to our campus. The IRC hopes to have a program which will con tinue to further Salem’s interest in' international relations. actors. Major catastrophes in what had at first seemed simple tasks began to occur. The Chinese shadow graphs— popsicle sticks behind a sheet had to show “Nothing.” "Nothing”, being an invisible little dog, could not be left blank on the white sheet. And if he were a shadow, who ever heard of an in visible shadow? Finally, the group decided that a circle made with a flashlight would be “Nothing.” Hansel and Gretel are to be the stars of the puppet show. But how can puppets^ eat a candy house ? This was the problem of Ann Cren shaw, the head of the puppet show. The marionette group have de cided upon “Three Billy Goats Gruff” as their story. These char acters are moved front above the stage by strings. Shirley Redlack, Martha Legette, and Mary Avera are crossing their fingers that their strings won’t get crossed. The show is to be presented at 6:30 p.m. Monday night. We are invited to see the plays themselves and the delight on the children’s faces. It will be interesting to see what the children’s literature class —turned drama producers—can do. Day Students Choose Their New Officers Anne Hale, a junior who is majoring in Spanish, has been elected by the Day Student Or ganization as president for ne.xt year. Others on the slate are: Frankie Cunningham and Jane Noel, both rising sophomores, vice-president and secretary; and Lynn Hamrick, a rising junior, treasurer. As president of the Day Students next year, Anne hopes to establish better relations between the day students and the boarders. She also wants to get the Day Students to participate more actively in all of the college functions. Anne lives at 218 Eden Terrace. She is a member of the Choral Ensemble and the International Relations Club. She is engaged to Richard Bennet, a student at U. N. C. Dr. Spencer Starts Program “Winston-Salem Arts in Review,” a program presented over station WTOB at 10:15 every Sunday night was originated by Salem’s Dr. Warren Spencer. The program came about from one of Dr. Spencer’s many ideas on how to inform and help the people of Winston-Salem become more aware of the many oppor tunities offered them in the arts. The purpose of the program is to provide a continuity to a critical commentary of the arts in Win ston-Salem. The program consists of inter views, discussions, and conversa tions. Dr. Spencer interviews and talks with local people who are active in the arts in Winston- Salem. Mr. McCorkle was the first guest on the program. He played several Moravian pieces that he had dis covered in the Archives. Then Dr. Spencer and Mr. McCorkle had a discussion of early Moravian music. On the second program Dr. Spen cer and several members of the cast of Song of Norway had an interesting conversation about the operatic production. Sunday, April 15, Dr. Spencer entertained Mr. Peterson and sev eral members of the Choral En semble. They played a tape re cording by the Ensemble and dis- cussed activities of the group. The forthcoming Little Theatre presentation will be discussed on April 22, and the following week the Winston-Salem Symphony is on the agenda.
