Battleship Set To Begin Sound, Light Drama The blast of anti-aircraft guns, a simulated torpedo explosion and the resounding boom and flame of 16 inch cannons will fill the night air as the Battleship North Carolina opens its season of the sound and light dra ma "The Immortal Showboat" be ginning June 4. Starting at 9 p.m. each night (weather permitting) through Sept. 6, the 70-minulc outdoor drama tells the USS North Carolina's story in voice, music, lights and sound ef fects. Background music is perfor med by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. The performance begins with her construction at New York Navy Yard in 1937 and continues through the ship's participation in all 12 ma jor naval offensives in the Pacific during World War II. Wartime action includes the air battles off Guadal canal, the bombardment of I wo Jima and kamikaze attacks near Okinawa. Admission to the show is S3.50 for adults and SI.75 for children age 6to 11. Students Dunk School Principals Lincoln Primary School Principal Joe Butler and his assistant. Fay Nelson, were all wet May 7 at the Leland school's annual field day. Working with the school's Langu age Art Improvement Team, the two had agreed to be the "dunkees" in a dunking booth if it would encourage students to read more during April. Students in kindergarten through second grade earned one chance to throw the ball for every 10 books read, while third graders earned a throw for every 100 pages read. According to a news release, many of the students were not only good readers, but good throwers as well, with the two getting dunked "many times" during the day. Top reader Jessica Whitcley, a third grader, earned 17 balls. In more usual field day activities, students participated in 16 events that included kangaroo jump, Fris bec throw, three-legged races, tug o'-war, relays, wheelbarrow racing, hula hooping and scooter racing, as well as a dunking booth. Faculty members ended the pro gram with their own "Funny Faculty Field Day," competing in events with a twist?such as slicking a ten nis ball to an ice tea spoon with bub ble gum and carrying it, or jumping witli the hula hoop. Earlier in the week, on May, 4, parents and other visitors goi to view displays of students' work dur ing the year and to enjoy student performances during the school's curriculum and science fair.
