NOVEMBER, 1981 THE BELLES PAGE 3 ! i Annual European Trip Again A Succes by Mary Newman This past July Professor Tate took 6 girls to Europe for 5 weeks. This was the third summer in a row he has done so. The groups spent 3 days in Stratford where they attended 3 Shakespearean plays and 5 other plays in London. The girls were required to write a paper on each of the plays. The girls received three hours of English credit if they had taken English 21-22, if not it was counted as an elective. They were in London for the Royal Wedding, which both the girls and Professor Tate agre^ was the highlight of the trip. They traveled around England, the southern part of Wales, and spent 6 days in France (Paris). There are some ^eat advantages in going with a small group like this, for it is easier to do spur of the moment things. That often turns out to be more fun than following a strict schedule. Professor Tate is already making plans for this summer. Even though all the girls that went this past year were in the College portion of St. Mary’s, Professor Tate will let high school as well as College girls. If you are interested in the trip for this up coming summer contact Professor Tate. A St. Mary’s Christmas Celebration By the time December rolls around, a lot of students are just about ready to collapse and hibernate for a few weeks. Well, if you want to escape from that ever present homework, here’s a suggestion: come and see the Celebration of the Yule. For the third year in a row, the Department of Performing Arts, assisted by guys from the N.C. State chorus and local high schools will be presenting a program of Christmas music and dance guaranteed to liven up any evening. The Celebration of the Yule is a festival of the Christmas traditions of 17th and 18th century England, as well as other European countries. The production is divided into three parts, representing the activities of the village people during the Winters Solstice and Christmas. The first part shows the people gathering for the Solstice. They eventually move to the village square, where a second round of celebrations takes place. In the last section, the villagers enter the house of the royalty to celebrate Christmas with their lords. In some places, the people could even elect a king for a (toy, who usually spend his time issuing strange proclamations. Last year. Dr. Miller was chosen from the audience to be St. Mary’s own “Lord of Misrule.” The Celebration is a wonderful chance to witness Christmas traditions that we’re not usually aware of and that are different from our own. For example, in Ireland, children would go from door to door begging for money in what is now called the Wren Dance. They would capture and kill a wren (the actors will use an imitation) and move from house to house singing and dancing. When you gave them money, they would give you in return a feather, which was supposed to bring you good luck for the rest of the year- , Besides the carols, there will also be poetry reading and a short play, “King Girls on European Trip bid Best Wishes to Charles and Lady Di at The Royal Wedding. “Say What. 11 by Cree Taylor Sarah Rice, it was so nice of you to escort your “grandfather” to the U.N.C. football game, and what’s this I hear about your dancing with the garbage collector at the Zate House? Gina, why is it that every time you get near the Zate House, you can’t stand up? Pride Edmunds, who’s the new man in your life? Barret Sloan, I’m glad to see that you finally got another date besides Will. George and the Dragon”. So, with all this action going on, it’s not surprising that so many groups are involved. The Chorale and Ensemble will perform, as will Gillie Callum and the Masquers Mime. All in all, this is a show you shouldn’t miss. We hope that we’ll see you on Wednesday, December 9 in Pittman Auditorium when the fun starts. Suiter W. good luck getting Horace Beasly. Bettine, I see you’re back with Taylor.
