Besides being active in his local church and community, Mr. Hunt has served the Rockingham District, the North Carolina Conference, and beyond.

Bridgers, New Hope; Trula McKeithan, Rhyne Memorial; Frances G. McNeill, Trinity, Red Springs; Linda Oxendine, Pleasant G rove; and Mark and Loria Simmons, West Robeson. Because of the large number of lay persons in the Rockingham District involved in this annual event, two rallies are now held on the same Sunday, one in the afternoon, the other in the evening. One rally is made up of all Robeson County United Methodist churches. The other includes all United Methodist churches in Scotland and Richmond counties. Around 500 people attended the Robeson Subdistrict Lay Rally this year. Outstanding High School Seniors Each lay rally also honors five "Outstanding High School Seniors."

Others participating in the program were: UMW District President, Roberta Scipio, Lumberton; the Rev. William Wells, District Director of Higher Education' Gumey Hunt. Lay Leader, Prospect UMC; and Jammi Lowry, Chairperson, District Youth Ministry Task Force. Special Music One of the most meaningful experiences each year is joining in the hearty singing of familiar hymns as past of a large, integrated congregation under the direction of Prospect Music Director, Harold Jacobs. In past years Mr. Jacobs has di reeled an adult choir made up of churches throughout Robeson County. However, this year's Lay Rally attendees enjoyed the enthusiastic singing of a children's choir directed by Mr. Jacobs, assisted by the foeal church choir directors. Children from Chestnut Street. Rhynt Memorial, Sandy Plains, Piney Grove, and Prospect participated with drum accompaniment by Prospect youth. Prospect Church organist is Grace Lockear. Mark Frazier of Chestnut Street UMC, played the piano. In addition to his music ministry, last year Harold Jacobs was ordained a deacon at Annual Conference. Lay Rally Speaker The Rev. Mike Safley, President of the Methodist Home for Children was this year's Rockingham District Lay Rally speaker. He asked the congregation to sing along with him such familiar children's songs as "Jesus Love Me" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World." Then he shared heart-wrenching stories ofchildren and youth whose lives have been turned around through the conference supported Home for Children. After the program, an opportunity was provided to give to the Children's Home. Workers from the Children's Home also served refreshments in the Prospect Church fellowship hall. Once again, the host church received the award for highest attendance at the Robeson Lay Rally. Free Health Checks In Red Springs Fret health screenings win be hshl on!uesdav.

Thus the stage is set for the Purncll Swell Drama Club production of Reginald Rosc'sclassicdrama Twelve A nun Men, scheduled for Thursday. April 2 and Friday. April 3, at 7:(H) pin in the school's bandroom; Saturday. April at 7:00 pm and Sunday. April 5 at 2:30 pm at the Robeson County Publifc Library auditorium in Lumbcrlon Directed by Steve Tyncr. the school's theatre instructor, the play title has been altered loTwclvc Anerv People since the cast is mixed. The ensemble cast is comprised of three seniors (Kate Locklcar. Stephanie Hunt. Charles Jones), three juniors (Brad Locklcar. kristcn Sallqrficld. JaimccChavis): one sophomore (Mark Adams): and six Freshmen (Ruth Haggcrt. Arianc Phillips. Crystal Gravis. Mcrri Huggins. Kclli Bullard. Sophia Dial) While none arc what can be called "seasoned veterans". all but one cast member have appeared in other school productions or have been through at least one theatre class at the school. , Twelve Angry People is based on an actual personal experience of a manslaughter ease in New York's General Session Court where Reginald Rose was a juror. Rose thought during the trial that no one anywhere ever knows what goes on inside a jury room, except the jurors, and he thought then that a play taking place entirely within a jury room might be an exciting and possibly moving experience for an audience. Rose worked on the outline for a week and discovered that the outline was twenty-seven typed pages long. The script was written in five days There arc four elements w hich he sayv at work in the jury sen ice. One element was the evidence he remembered by each by each individual juror The second was the relationship of juror to juror in a life or death situation Third was the emotional pattern of each individual juror and the fourth was the physical problems such as weather, time, uncomfortable room, etc All these elements arc of \ ital importance in any jury room, and all of them presented excellent dramatic possibilities. In the production sponsored by the Drama Club the seating arrangement will be what is called arena scaling. Unlike traditional theatrical scaling w here (Ik performance occurs onstage w ith the audience seated in front much like watching a television, this performance will have the audience seated on thrccsidcsofthcplaycrsand within just a few feet of them This setting was chosen to bring the action closer to the viewer to give the impression that the viewer is looking over the shoulder of the jury members. Tickets will be on sale at the door for $3.00. Seating is limited so come early or call 521 -325.3 to reserve your scat today.
