Dramatics Class To
Present Play
The play “You Can’t Take It
With You,” is presently under
jroduction in Miss Causey’s third
period dramatics class. It shall
pe put on sometime in April. The
;ast is mostly made up of inex-
jerienced players, but they show
»ood potential and the play prom-
ses to be a success.
“You Can’t Take It With You”
s a comedy involving a family of
line unique characters who do
ust what they please. The closest
;hing to a job anyone has is
Paul Sycamore and a Mr. De
Pinna (an iceman who dropped
ly one day five years ago and
itayed) who, for a hobby, make
ind sell fire works illegally. Pen-
ly Sycamore has been writing
plays for eight years and hopes
o sell one and become famous,
^s of yet, however, she must
irst compltee a play. The rest of
he family does their thing from
jallet dancing, xylophone playing,
o snake collecting. Martin aVn-
ierhof (the grandpa) runs the
amily and is a central figure in
he play. He has a lot of fun by
ittending comhiencements, going
to the zoo, stamp collecting and,
overall, enjoying himself.
The conflict comes in when
Alice, Vanderhofs grand daugh
ter, falls in love with a Wall
Street executive. The two families
do not mix and their engagement
heads for the rocks.
This play, although originally
produced in the 1930’s, makes an
excellent poke at the stupidities
of conformity. Even though the
play is old, the theme is not and
is quite relevant to the present
age of non-conformity and people
seeking their identity.

CIRCUS HELD FOR KINDERGARTEN
BY CHILD DEVELOPMENT STUDENTS
A big circus was held Wednes
day, March 11 at the Grimsley
Co-Operative Kindergarten. The
circus was run by the kinder
garten children with the help of
two teachers, Mrs. Engle and Mrs.
Hodge, the second and third pe
riod child development students.
The circus was presented in order
to make money for the new zoo.
The kindergarten children had
made an imaginary zoo called the
“Happy Zoo,” in which there were
no cages and the animals were
free. Since the children felt the
animals should not be kept in
cages they decided to help in the
raising of funds for the new zoo.
Admission was charged to the
circus and games and refresh
ments could be paid at a small
cost. Harents, friends, sisters and
brothers of the children came to
see the circus.
The kindergarten children pre
sented the circus acts which in
cluded a real live “Fire Dancer”
acrobats who did frontward and
backward rolls, swung by their
knees on a trapeze and for the
grand finale made a pyramid and
did headstands. Also there was a
strongman who lifted barbells,
broke a board, (already sawed in
two), ripped a phone book in
half, and lifted a girl in a chair
(incidently the girl was a doll).
There was also the “Queen of
the Tightropes” who did a rou
tine with unbrellas and music.
4.IS0 were little ballerinas who
performed like flowers. Of course
there were animals at the circus
too. One of the kindergarten chil
dren dressed up as a horse and
ran through a ring of imaginary
fire. Another child was a monkey

which turned somersaults and ate
bananas. A zebra and a tiger
were also to be seen at the circus.
The cowboys galloped around and
sang for their act. And of course,
as at all circuses, there were
clowns. One of the child-develop
ment students dressed as a clown,
came riding in on a unicycle fol
lowed by a group of children
dressed as clowns. The clowns did
a comedy act as part of their
performance.
After the circus performance,
there were different booths such
as weight-guessing, Gypsy For
tune-Teller, Pirate’s Treasure, and
one of the child-development stu
dents brought a pony for pony
rides. Beautiful flowers, made by
the students and kindergarten
children were sold.
G.H.S. Student Has
Own Radio Show
Several weeks ago,' Lenny Dolin,
a sophomore here at Grimsley,
started his own radio show on
WQFS radio,, the “Golden Voice
of Guilford College.” Lenny be
came interested in becoming a
disc jockey when a fourteen-year-
old boy was recently given a job
at WGBG. So Lenny took a test
in February to obtain a 3rd class
broadcasters license, and upon re
ceiving it, applied at WQFS, and
was accepted.
Lenny does a two hour pro
gram of “easy listening” music,
such as songs by Oliver, from
10:00 to 12:00 midnight on Sat
urday nights. He plans his own
show, and can even bring his own
records or music with him to play
on the show.
WQFS, 90.7 on the FM dial,
was steirted in January of this
year, and is managed mostly by
Guilford College students. In fact,
Lenny is the only off-campus disc
jockey with a show presently at
the station. As the station itself
is noncommercial, Lenny works
as a volunteer, with no pay. The
shows feature a wide variety of
music, such a jazz, easy listening,
underground, folk, classical, and
others. Each disc jockey selects
the type of music he wishes to
play on his show.
. Lenny plans to use this good
experience and apply eventually
at WGBG radio as a disc jockey.
