September 30, Page Four Suanne Brooks, Becky Scott and Cara Lynne Johnson, participants in Honors Program, gather for a moment of relaxation. Three Salemites Participate In Senior Honors Program When 600 eager students raided the Bookstore and a line formed from the store’s basement to Main Hall, the fact was quite evident that a new academic year had be gun. Three persons among those waiting to claim their books were Suanne Brooks, Cara Lynne John son and Becky Scott. The factor distinguishing these three Salemites from the others was their accept ance to do Honors work. What exactly is Honors work ? Mainly, it is independent study in a specific field of interest. It offers the opportunity to do extensive re search on a particular topic in one’s major. An interested rising senior must talk with her adviser about the possibilities of participating in the Honors program. In order to qualify for Honors work a student must have suffi ciently high grades to secure a recommendation from her adviser. She proceeds to fill out a registra tion in triplicate. The student now submits a plan on the paper she is to do during the year, and is finally appointed a faculty adviser. Under Pierrettes Begin Fall Production “The Skin of Our Teeth,” a three- act play, written by Thornton Wil der, will be presented by the Pier rettes in the Fine Arts Center on November 9, 10, 11, and 12. The play is a modern comedy about George Antrobus, an average American, his wife, two children, and their maid Sabina. The Antro- buses have been through everything from fire, flood, and war to the ice age and seven year locusts. As the author states, “they have survived a thousand calamities by the skin of their teeth.” Dr. Mary Homrighous, drama director, and the Pierrette Council chose “The Skin of Our Teeth,” be cause of its greater appeal to the student body. Admission will be free to all Salem students. Faculty members, their families, and other college stu dents in the area will be charged fifty cents. It will cost all others a dollar to see the play. Casting has been open to any student at Salem. A list of cast members has been posted in the Fine Arts Center in the Drama Workshop and will be printed next week in the paper.

Drama Enjoys Successful Summer Season At Salem By Sandy Kelley “Till the Day Break,” a colorful and moving drama of the early Mor avians, was presented nightly in the Salem College May Dell Amphi theatre July 5-August 27, as a part of Winston-Salem’s 200 Anniver sary. Written by Richard Stockton of New York, the play combined the religious life of the early Moravians with music, wit, and effective cos tuming. It traces the development of the Moravians from the burning of the early religious leader John Huss, in Czechoslovkia, to the period of their settlement at Salem. The central characters of the plot are Mr. and Mrs. Hickerman, this past summer portrayed by Russell Gold and Leta Bonyage; David Hickerman, played by Michael Charles; and Bishop Spangenberg, played by Sam Greene. “Till the Day Break” tells of their conflicts with those members of the outside world who were not sympathetic or tol erant of their faith. Eleven professional actors, eleven local actors, eight musicians, and a host of technicians and stage as sistants composed the production staff. Jay Willoughby was General Manager for the drama of which Joseph Hamer was Director. MORRIS SERVICE Next To Cwroliaa Thootor SandtridiM — S«i««b Sockn "Tlio Place Wfcere Salemitea Meet” GIRLS!
