Report Is Warning
According to Registrar Chap
man the mid-term report shows
a student’s average grade in each
of his subjects for the first half
of the semester. Any student
who is not doing C quality work
is reported as having made doubt
ful progress. While a D is a pass
ing ggade it is not considered a
quality grade.
The mid-term report is the first
of the year to go home to par
ents; and it is sent only to the
parents of those students who are
doing doubtful work in any course.
It serves as a warning of what
might be forthcoming.
Keller Story Is Dramatized
Youngs Helen Keller, played by Paula Sams, discovers the meaning of
the word ^*water’* as her tutor Anne Sullivan, played by Ann Johnson,
screams the term at her. The action is typical of that in the forthcom
ing drama production, “The Miracle Worker.*'
Five Sacred Concerts Slated
By Choir During Trip
The Mars Hill College Choir
will present five concerts of sa
cred music during a trip Nov. 8-
10.
The 48-voice choir will sing
during the morning worship ser
vices at the First Baptist Church
of Swannanoa tomorrow. That
night the choir will sing at the
Florida Street Baptist Church in
Greensboro.
Monday morning the group will
sing at Morehead High School in
Spray. Returning to Greensboro
by chartered bus, the members
will then sing the first of two per
formances for the North Carolina
Baptist State Convention.
The Monday-night concert will
he at the First Baptist Church of
Greensboro during a conference
of ministers of music and educa
tion. Tuesday morning the choir
will sing at the first general ses
sion of the convention.
The choir is directed by Robert
C. Rich; John Leatherwood is
president; James Sides, student di
rector; and Norman Selby, organ
ist.
There will be little time for
Mr. Rich to rest after the trip for
he has two recitals scheduled on
Nov. 19 and 21.
The first, on the Thursday eve
ning of Nov. 19, will be in Spain-
hour Hall at 8 p.m.
A repeat performance will be
given for the students and fac
ulty of Warren Wilson College in
Swannanoa on Nov. 21.
Even then Mr. Rich and his
choir members will still have
' much work to do. A performance
of “The Messiah” is scheduled
early in December, and rehear
sals are already in progress for
that.
Home Ec Group
Attending Meet
Nine members of the Mars Hill
College Chapter of the American
Home Economics Association are
attending the annual meeting of
the NCHEA in Raleigh today.
They are Mrs. Mary Howell,
first vice president of the NCHEA;
Miss Carol Kendall, the other
member of the home economics
staff; Glenda Robinette, presi
dent of the local chapter; Carol
Hunt, vice president of the chap
ter; Sandra Baker and Mary Lynn
Wilson, candidates for state of
fices in the college section; Lin
da Blanchard, Mary Dennis and
Beth Douglas.
The conference, which began
Thursday, has been high-lighted
by addresses by Dr. Ruth C. Hall
of the University of Arizona, na
tional president of the AHEA.
Mrs. Howell presided over a ban
quet last evening.
The local chapter will hold its
regular meeting Monday (Nov. 9)
at 7 p.m. in the Science Building.
Reports wil be given on the con
vention, and the members will al
so discuss money-making projects
which will enable them to continue
their membership in the NCHEA
and the AHEA.
“The Miracle Worker,” a ten
der and moving account of the
early life of the famous Helen
Keller, will he presented by the
Dramateers in Moore Auditor
ium on Friday and Saturday
nights, Nov. 13 and 14.
The action concerns Miss Kel
ler’s amazing education under
the tutelage of Anne Sullivan.
Twelve-year-old Paula Sams,
daughter of Emmett Sams of the
math department, portrays Miss
Keller; and sophomore Ann John
son plays the tutor.
An oddity associated with the
performance is the fact that Ann’s
sister Sue, a senior at Campbell
College, will be playing the same
part in the same production at
Campbell on the same nights.
The three-act play, directed by
Mrs. Elizabeth Watson, is set in
and around the Keller homestead
in Tuscumbia, Ala., and the Per
kins Institute for the Blind in
Boston during the 1880’s.
David Jones and Mary Owen,
playing Capt. Keller and his wife
Kate, are the other principal char
acters.
The cast also includes Mac
Watson, B. J. Nuckolls, Jim Alex
ander, Jessica Buchanan, David
Holcombe, Kathy Nuckolls, David
Montross, Willie Clay Young,
Alice Crutchfield, Pat Dunn, Sher.
ry Taylor, Mariljm Chandler and
Rebecca Sams.
The voices of Montross and
Charles Pelts also figure in the
plot.
Makeup artist is Kathy Young,
and prompter is Sandra Thoma.
First presented on Oct. 19,
1969, “The Miracle Worker” has
received much favorable com
ment. Frank Alston, drama critic
of the New York World-Telegram
and Sun, said, “It will shatter
every crowd that gathers in the
playhouse for months to come.”
Actress Anne Bancroft and
Patti Duke starred in hoth the
Broadway drama and the movie
versions of the play and won
awards for their performances.
Despite the handicaps of being
both totally deaf and totally blind.
Miss Keller learned to speak
and achieved the seemingly im
possible by graduating from col
lege with high honors. She became
a famous lecturer and author, and
her life has been an inspiration
to millions of people around the
world, especially persons who suf
fer afflictions similar to hers. The
play captures much of this inspir
ational quality.
Curtain time for the perfor
mance each night is 8 o’clock. The
public will be invited.
PE Film Scheduled
“Wind Up a Winner,” a movie
spotlighting the real purpose of
competitive sports, will be shown
at the monthly meeting of the
Physical Education Majors Club
in the Library Auditorium at 7:30
p.m. Monday.
The film shows how to organize
programs to develop healthy
traits, cooperation and citizen
ship.
