Written By Clifton Britton
By Margie Dudley
Clifton Britton, because of
his desire "to be serviceable to
those English teachers who
must add to I heir regular class-
room work in high school the
coaching of dramatics has
presented first-hand, as well as
authoritative, information on
all phases of dramatics in a
thesis. Behind Red Velvet This
thesis was submitted to the
English department d u ring
June 1942 in partial fulfillment
of the requirements for the de-
gree of Master of Arts in Eng-
lish
This thesis is an attempt t.
s Ive teacher-director problem
. specially for those teachers
u h have had no special drama-
training.
Material included in the
sis answers many of the
questions which Clifton has re-j
til from alumni and in
ested persons during his dra
matic career here. Questions;
about selection and securing of j
plays, lighting, make-up. and j
sound-effects are answered.
A preface and introduction, j

hi chapters dealing with
"Selecting the Play "The

"Scenery "Lighting "Make-
up and "Sound-effects re-
spectively, are the content of the
thesis.
With the skillful use of illus-
trative material photographed
by Matt Phillips and Fenly
Spears, the thesis is made more
interesting and clearer.
Of his subject Clifton states.
"Educational dramatics is the
subject of the future, the oneto
which educators will turn with
increasing satisfaction because

Music Department
To Present Opera
Winter Quarter
Plans to give a performance
of the opera "Martha" during
winter quarter of this year have j
been announced by the music'
department. This will be the
first undertaking of an operatic
performance by students of
East Carolina Teachers College.
Few colleges in the country
have undertaken the production
of grand opera. This venture
will offer an educational and
entertainment feature of which
this college may well be proud.
A performance of this type will
involve cooperation of the two
glee clubs, the orchestra, solo-
ists and students interested in
stagecraft.
"Martha" which wras written
by Fried rich von Flotow in
1847 has proven to oe one of the
most popular of operas. It has
been performed by all leading
opera companies including the
Metropolitan and has been the
performing vehicle for the
great tenor Enrico Caruso as
well as such modern stars of
opera at Helen Jepson, Grace
Moore and James Melton.
There are also parts for so-
prano and mezza-soprano prin-
cipals as well as smaller parts
for women's voices. The prin-
cipal men's parts are alloted to
a tenor and three baritones.
Singers will be selected in the
near future to fill the various
parts and any applicants are re-
quested to see Mr. Denton Ros-
sell in his studio in the Wright
Building.

Featured Speaker
At Initial Vespers
President Leon R. Meadows
spoke Sunday night at the
Vesper service sponsored by the
Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. of East
Carolina Teachers College using
as his subject. Religion is Lif(.
He urged the students not to
neglect their spiritual develop-
ment while in college. Refer-
ence is often made to man and
his religion, but they cannot be
separated since religion is a
part of man. Christ in his
ministry and teaching showed
that a man's life is determined
by the kind of religion he pro-
fesses. At the rate murder and
destruction are going on in the
world at the present, people
might wonder if religion has
not taken a back seat. "We are
not merely struggling for a vic-
tory over our enemies Dr.
Meadows declared, "but victory

Eighteen Students
Composed Retreat
Eighteen Baptist students
comprising the B. S. U. Council
of E. C. T. C. held their pre-
school retreat at the Student
Center, September 21-23, to
make and discuss plans for the
coming year.
Plans for open house the
first week of school, and for a
party for all Baptist students
on October 8, were discussed.
Plans were made for a Bible
discussion group to meet at the
center each Friday afternoon.
The State Student Convention
to be held October 23-25, was
also discussed and plans start-
ed to send a large delegation.
Inspirational messages were
brought by Rev. Campbell and
Dr. Simons, pastors of the local
Baptist churches and by Mr.
Dick Howerton, the recently ap-
pointed State Student Secre-
tary.
On September 26, there were
420 Baptists registered, 50 of
whom were day students. Un-
der the leadership of the Stu-
dent Secretary, Mary Lee Er-
nest, the Baptists are looking
forward to a good year in their
work together.

of what there were lacked that
touch of professional direction
which adds so much to a play.
But there were some who
weren't satisfied with the con-
dition of dramatics and who be- j done, and he filled them with a
lieved that students should have i determination to give E. C. T. C.
a better chance to show their
dramatic abilities on the stage.
Among those so earnestly in-

freshman, Clifton Britton. He
was a kind of guy who never

fered his services as director
of the senior play, Smilin'
Through. Students and faculty
alike shrugged their shoulders
and nonchalantly assumed the
attitude that a freshman
couldn't direct a play worth see-
ing. That attitude was some-
thing that Clifton knew he had
to face and something he had
to disprove, so with that in
mind he began work with a de-
temination to succeed regard-
less of the many obstacles. He
picked his cast, selected his
stage managers, and gave every
volunteer a definite job, em
the best performance it had ever
had. The play was finally pre-
sented before a large audience,
and all of them saw how radi-
antly the play showed that a
hand of experience had guided
it. Yes, it seemed that E. C.
T. C. had finally found someone
who could be called "Our play
director
Clifton kept up the excellent
work and began to make dra-
matics a reality and not some-
thing that might happen in the
future. He finally succeeded in
getting one spot light to im-
prove the poor lighting system,
and he did the rest of the spot-
ting with lights covered in cans
and glass bottles. Gradually,
the amount of equipment in-
creased and productions could be
put on with almost enough
equipment to fulfill the mini-
mum needs. Now, through the
East Carolina Teachers Col-
lege observed its fourteenth
annual Freshman Orientation
ment, costumes, and numerous
other things which are so ne-
cessary for successful dramatic
productions.
Greater than any of these pro-
perties, though, is an organized
dramatics club, the Chi Pi Play-
ers, which has won acclaim from
such noted dramatics directors
as Dr. Frederick Kock of the the W. S. G. A M. S. G. A
University of North Carolina j and Y. W. C. A Estelle Davis,
and, most important of all, the i Evan Griffin, and Charlotte

Cox and Catherine Hester.
Each dormitory will have girls
on duty chosen by their position
to the light switches. The new
Electrican, Mr. Markham. has
given the dormitory wardens

tions for black-out duty.

students of E C. T. C. Through
the six years of its existence it
has sponsored more and better
productions each year, topping
them all with last year's remark-
able work. Double Door, On The
Bridge at Midnight, A Doll's
House, Little Black Sambo, and
the senior play, Vivacious Lady,
were given, making the year a
red letter year for variety and
magnificent acting on the stage.
A one-act play, Rainbows in

We mean that students recognize the fact
that college plays a vital part in National
Defense.
The shortage of teachers for public
schools was appalling this fall. A number of
students who have only completed their jun-
ior year, are now teaching. There will prob-
ably be an even greater demand for teach-
ers next year.
By buckling down to hard work, we can
meet the challenge for the teaching profes-
sion. This is a profession that is steadfast
and safe. A profession that will survive the
war and the depression that will follow De-
tense jobs pay well, but not for long. So we

If a poll was taken of the most used
word during the past two .weeks, or so, no
doubt the one which would come out on top
would be scrap. Scrap, scrap, and more
scrap is the battle cry of the day. We can
help raise a little corner of Hell; mavbe in
b ranee maybe in Tokyo, or maybe in Berlin,
by gathering scrap.
We have not -started an organized
scrap drive on our campus. There are vari-
ous reasons why we have not. We have just
gotten our feet on the ground, so to speak,

mately twenty-five members.
A Message from the President
Our alumni year 194142,
measured by my yardstick, was
a good year. Under the guidance
of our capable secretary, Miss
Estelle McClees, new chapters
were formed and the fires in the
dormant chapters were kindled
anew. There was advance in ac-
tivities, achievement, growth,
and loyalties. It was particular-
ly gratifying that a11 Miss
McClees' plans were received
with zeal and appreciation by
the local chapters throughout
the state, and there is no way
of estimating the amount of

from her untiring efforts.
And now we come to the be-
ginning of another year. I take
this opportunity to ask each
vice-president, each chapter
president, each alumna and each
alumnus, wherever you may be,
to begin anew your alumni
work. If you have not already
had your "beginning meeting
get busy now. Time lost can
never be regained. Mail a re-
port of your activities and plans
to the Alumni Office. Help
keep our alumni column in the
Teeo Echo alive with interest-
ing and helpful news.
This is an era of uncertainty
and confusion as to what the
morrow may bring�the most
critical period any of us have
faced. We know not what the
year 1942-43 will bring as a
challenge to the best that is in
us as loyal alumni to our asso-
ciation, our college, and our A

a suitable environment for our-
selves.
