Number 2
Honor CInbs Hold
First Meetings
On October 7, the scholastic
honor clubs of Mars Hill Col
lege held their first meetings of
the current semester. New mem
bers were initiated and inducted
into the clubs.
The October meeting of the
Logothia Club was held on
October 6. Due to some officers
not returning and the ineli
gibility of others, elections were
held. Gerald Roper was pre
sented by the nominating com
mittee as nominee for president.
The program was an initia
tion centering around an ex
planation of the constitution,
the meaning of Logothia and
the responsibilities of member
ship. Also three members took
three of the lesser known books
of the Old Testament, Eccles
iastes, Deuteronomy and Lam
entations, and gave the author
ship, purpose, content, value for
the people to whom written and
the practical applications of its
teaching today.
A general discussion followed

Phillip Kelly And Mary Lawrence Head
Large Cast Of “Caesar and Cleopatra ’
Phil Kelley in the role of Caesar and Mary Lawrence as Cleopatra
will head a cast of thirty when on November 15, the Mars Hill
College Department of Dramatics, under the direction of Mrs. Eliza
beth W^atson, will present Caesar and Cleopatra, an historical play in
five acts by George Bernard Shaw.
Sophomores will remember Mary for her part in last year s pro
duction of The JVinslow Boy. Also in the cast will be Nancy Carroll
as Ftatateeta, David Caudle as
Apollodorus, Jack Hinson as
Rufio, and Robert Nicholson as
Britannus. Billy Pegg will appear
as Ptolemy, the boy king.
Working behind the scenes
will be stage manager Arthur
Field, assisted by Don Shuman
and Ronald Searcy. Rehearsals
have been underway for a week.
In Shaw’s play, which takes
place in 48 B. C., the middle-
aged Julius Caesar marches into
Egypt at the head of his legions.
There he meets the sixteen-year-
old Cleopatra and is so infatuated
by her youthful charms that he
teaches her to become a queen.
Shaw’s treatment of the Caesar-
Cleopatra story differs from the
familiar version. It includes some
highly original stage business and
unique portrayal of character.
Thanks to the hard work and
enthusiasm of numerous persons
in the group, this production is
likely to be one of the most out
standing presented here in recent
years.
