Ma}' Day Qroup Plans Pageant;
Kimbrell Promises Unique Time
By Mair Dameron
]t’s coming May 4 . . • whatever
it is. It takes 24 letters to spell
it, and lots of talent to say it. It
promises to be one of the most
unique and entertaining programs
ever to hit the May Dell, and com
mittees are working hard to see
that it’s just that.
So why all the hush? It’s be
cause the students who originated
the program plan for May Day,
1964, started from scratch, and they
have built such a delightful story
Lecture Series
Brings Conreid
The Salem College Lecture Series
brings Hans Conreid, a man of
many talents to Memorial Hall,
Monday, April 27, at 8 p.m. The
diversified program, “An Evening
with Hans Conreid,” will include
readings from poetry and Shake
speare interspersed with some
theater stories. He opens this pro
gram with a poem requiring great
vocal dexterity, and answers ques
tions from the audience in the se
cond half.
Mr. Conreid’s career has spanned
several theatrical media. It was in
a succession of uncut Shakespear
ean plays that he entered Holly
wood radio in 1936. He had second
leads in support of the late John
Barrymore in a broadcast series of
“Streamlined Shakespeare” the fol
lowing year.
Usually cast as a “heavy” before
the war, he regularly appeared on
the programs of Irving Reis, Arch
OHoler, and Orson Welles, working
for Welles for five consecutive
years. Returning from three years
in the Army, Mr. Conreid turned
to lighter assignments. Of his
thousands of radio roles, he is prob
ably best known as Schultz on
“Life with Luigi”, and as Profes
sor Kropotkin in “My Friend Irma”.
He also had experience as a radio
director.
When television entered the
American scene, Mr. Conreid was
signed as a regular panel member
of “Pantomime Quiz”. He also ap
peared in every top network show
Hans Conreid
emanating from New York and
Hollywood. Such shows as Play
house 90, Alcoa Hour, Bob Hope
Show, Jerry Lewis Show, Hallmark
Hall of Fame, and the big specta
culars and specials continue to have
Mr. Conreid as a guest. He has
appeared many times each season
as Uncle Tonoose on “The Danny
Thomas Show” and has contributed
to the nation’s humor as a guest
On the Jack Paar Show.
that they want it to be a complete
surprise.
Choreographer S a n d i Kimbrell
has, however, let us in on a few
secrets. This year the May Day
entertainment portion will involve
more people than have been used
in the past. Since the program is
original, there is no limit as far as
the use of new ideas is concerned,
and Sandi promises that the show
will be unlike anything we have
ever seen!
Featuring the D a n s a 1 e m s, the
program has no lead player. Ac
cording to May Day Chairman
Anne Dudley, the setting will ex
tend over large areas of the May
Dell, an accomplishment which has
already involved moving a tree.
Mr. Yarborough is busy preparing
the dell for the coming event.
The following girls, in addition to
those already mentioned, are re
sponsible for this year’s pageant:
May Day Committee Vice-presi
dent, Frances Holton; Treasurer,
Marty Paisley; Script writers,
Frances Holton, Bonnie Hauch, and
Frances Bailey; May Court, Margy
Theatre Class
Enters Festival;
Receives Honor
Salem College’s Introduction to
Theatre class has gained state-wide
recognition for set and costume de
signs submitted to a festival spon
sored by the Carolina Dramatic As
sociation.
Each year the Association has the
festival at which three Hubert J.
Philpott awards are presented.
Two awards are presented for tech
nical designs and one for construc
tion of one-act plays. Salem swept
through the festival capturing two
out of the three state awards.
Four Salem students submitted
emotional impressions of set de
signs which included a ground plan,
water-color sketch, and scale
morlel; costume designs; and light
ing designs of a one-act play.
Those submitting designs were Ann
Ferguson, “Rouge Atomique”^ by
Richard Nash; Feme Houser, “The
Lesson” by Eugene Ionesco; Mary
Lucy Hudgens, “Aria da Capo’ by
Edna St. Vincent Millay; and Pat
Wilson, “Impromptu” by Tad Mo
sel. The set and costume designs
were on display in Main Hall at
the beginning of this semester.
The greatest distinction of this
recogntion is the fact that Salem
topped other colleges and univer
sities in the state in all fields m
which it had entries.

Mallard, Campbell Attend
NSA Spring Conference
April 17 and 18 marked the an
nual NSA Carolina-Virginia Spring
Regional Conference at East
Carolina College in Greenville.
Delegates from Salem College at
tending it were Judy Campbell and
Barbara Mallard. The theme of
the Conference was National Is
sues—-1964. The agenda included a
kickoff banquet and speech by Con
gressman Morris Udall, a reception
at the home of E. C. C. president.
Dr. Leo Jenkins, discussion groups
on important national issues and
the effective use of NSA on cam
pus, and a plenary session.
In his keynote address. Congress
man Udall stated that the two key
words to describe the changing
world of today are nationalism and
revolution. The historians in future
years will judge this generation on
how it handles the foreign and do
mestic problems which these two
forces have brought into being.
The delegates from Salem at
tended the discussion groups on
Civil Rights and one about NSA on
campus. The Civil Rights discus
sion aimed at procurring “pro” and
“con” viewpoints on each of the
articles included in the present Civil
Rights bill. The discussion con
cerning NSA on campus attempted
to discuss the balance of emphasis
in NSA between national affairs
and affairs affecting each local
NSA organization.
At the plenary session, bills were
passed advocating the N. C. Volun
teers Against Poverty. Also passed
were resolutions to stress gaining
additional membership in NSA, to
up-date the present Constitution, and
to attempt to place more emphasis
upon NSA’s role to the student in
a student atmosphere.
Preceeding her studies at Colum
bia, Miss Battle plans to attend a
film workshop in New York. On
the basis of her work at a T. V.-
Radio-Film workshop last year.
Miss Battle has become one of the
two people asked to participate in
the advanced workshop offered this
year.
When asked what her first re
action to her acceptance was. Miss
Battle replied, “The greatest thing
about it is that now I don’t have
to work as a clerk in the New York
Library.”
