i year’s summer school enrollment
for the first term. College officials
had expected an increase of about
10 per cent.
Appalachian’s summer program
is somewhat unique in that nearly
as many students register for the
summer sessions as during the
regular terms. Dr. Stone implied
that this almost makes Appalach
i ian a 12-month college.
Final examinations for the first,
term are slated for July 12-13.
Finals for the second term will be
held on August 16-17.
A state institution since 1903, the
summer school enrollment at Ap
palachian has steadily grown
, through the years. Both students'
| and faculty count it a" treat to
‘study and teach in the ideal cli
mate of Boone.
Os the total enrollment for sum
mer school, approximately 800
students are registered for gradu-
I ate work, according to Dr. Cratis
! Williams, director of graduate
studies. About 200 of the graduate
students are entering the program
at Appalachian for the first time.
The majority of graduate students
are North Carolinians with about
20 per cent from out-of-state. The
out-of-staters include students from
J4O other state and foreign coun
tries, including Alaska, Hawaii,
I Germany, England, Venezuela,
] and Libya.

Parkway Play,
house Second 1
Production
For Its second production, The i
Parkway Playhouse announces the j
| presentation of Emlyn William’s i
I suspenseful melodrama, “Nigrt i
Must Fall,” on July 20 and 21.
Emlyn Williams Is one of the!
theatre’s most versatile men. A
few seasons ago, he impersonated,
Charles Dickens and toured thei
United States in a special produc
tion drawn from Dickens’ works.
Currently he is starting on Broad
way in the award Winning “A Man
For All Seasons.” Among the
many highly successful plays he
has written is “The Com Is
' Green,” which has served as a
[starring vehicle for Ethel Barry
| more and Bette Davis, and is
considered by many to be a
modern classic of its kind. ‘‘Night
Must Fall,” also, ranks as one
of the most exciting plays of its
genre: mystery, and suspense.
The events that take place when
a body is found near Mrs. Bram
son’s house make an exciting
change in the dull routine of the
day, but when night falls. . . . For
; a thrilling evening in the theatre
i you will not want to miss Emlyn
William’s “Night Must Fall" on
July 20 and 21. It will be directed
by Lester L. Moore, who has dir
ected past productions as “Inherit
the Wind” and Finian’s Rainbow.”
The setting will be designed by
Joe Allen who created the set for
last season’s “Diary of Anne
Frank.” i. r
