nicest spring dances ever held at
Fast Carolina College. According to
Bedford, this is the only big dance
that will be held for the entire stu-
dent l ody this spring.
Prior to this year the May Day
activities have been confined to an
afternoon affair, but it has been
changed to a dance this year. The
afternoon activity has been eliminat-
ed and the queen and her attendants
will be presented at the dance.
The highlight of the dance will be
the Queen and the presentation of
her attendants. Reigning as Queen
this year will be Barbara Coghill,
an attractive brunette from Hender-
son. Her Maid of Honor will be
Carolyn Johnson from Elizabeth City.
The Queen will have as her attend-
ants Misses Marjorie MacDougald,
Joyce Croon, Sally Sedgwick, and
Peggy Fail-cloth representing the
Senior class; Shirley Johnson, Jean
Buchanan and Peggy Moore of the
Junioi cias
Other plans for the coronation ex-
ercises will be announced at a later
late, according to Bedford.
Music for this dance, which will
be semi-formal, will be furnished by
the Collegians. The dance will be
closed to college students, their dates,
faculty members and parents of the
Queen and her attendants.
There will be no admission for this
dar.ee but college students will be
required to use the ID cards.
Working with Charlie in making
plans are the class presidents and
representative from all four classes.
Also assisting in the plans are Miss
Cathmar Shaw, of the Health and
Physical Education department, and
Mi-s Nancy Wilmore, dormitory coun-
selor in Jarvis Hall.
T is dance is a new venture and if
supported by the students it can
ecome an important annual affair.
The May Day Committee is doing its
part�the remaining effort is up to
Jeanette Smith and the students.

Begin On Friday
rehearsals of "Bigadoon
All of the dancers are really en-
joying rehearsals. There is a friendly,
relaxed atmosphere and the dances
are a lot of fun to learn. It seems
that the Scots have quite a few be-
bop steps of their own.
Most of the students have had
little or no previous dance lessons,
but that does not prevent their catch-
ing on quickly.
Between numbers the dancers try
out their own dance steps and some
of them are occasionally used for the
Scottish dances.
One of the most unique dances is
a combination square dance, can-can,
and shag which takes place in a mar-
ket-place. It is supposed to be a
drunken scene and after whirling and
twirling, the dancers are able to do
the scene convincingly.
back to fast. The dancers and the
music do not always change tempo at
the same time. However, a few more
rehearsals will correct that�or a
new record i layer may help.
One of the most distracting factors
in rehearsals, at least to the boys,
is the practice costumes. On cold
nights the costumes consist of dun-
garees, pedal puhers, or knee socks
and Bermuda shorts. On warm nights
the girls wear leatards, shorts, or
abbreviated skirts. The main keynote
for both boys' and girls' costumes is
informality and comfort.
Although the instructor and dancers
are having a good time, they are
working hard cooperating with each
other, and doing a good job. The
group are all good sports, even though
the boys are a little skeptical about

�rng holidays begin for East
ilina students this weekend and
.d through next Tuesday. Classes
resume Wednesday morning. This
i first time in several years
the Spring holidays here have
ncurrent with the Easter holi-
days.
Students are expected to begin
leaving campus by 12 noon on Friday
and the campus will probably bej
deserted by 5:30 in the afternoon,
according to the dormitory counsel-
ors. The vacation marks the halfway-
mark of the Spring quarter.
Immediately following the return
to campus next week, the new slate
of Student Government officers will
prepare foT their inauguration. Don-
ald Umstead, Leaksville, will replace
Wade Cooper, of Raleigh, as presi-
dent of the student body in an inau-
gural ceremony the second Wed"
day night of this month. Other offi-
cers to be installed in the same serv-
icea are: first vice-president, O'Bnan
i Edwards; second vice-president, Rus-
I sell Newman; treasurer, Billy Shar-
ber; first assistant treasurer, Robert
Forrest; secretary, Barbara Strick-
land; and historian, Bobby Lou Avant.
Also on the campus agenda for the
near future are dances, one sponsored
by Phi Mu Alpha, national music
fraternity with a new chapter recent-
ly formed at East Carolina and
another by the May Day Committee.
The May Day Dance will replace the
regular afternoon festivities and the
coronation of the May Queen and her
court will take place at that event.

Informal receptions after each per-

Laura Credle of New Holland made
an attractive princess and turned in
an excellent performance. Others
whose interpretations of leading roles
deserve commendation included Merle
Kelly of Raleigh. Anna Avant of
Whiteville, Jane Lingle of China
Grove, Bobby Joe Sasser of Trenton,
and John Bas of Newton (irove.
In the supporting cast were James
L. Thompson of Durham, Douglas
Mite ell of Greenville, Dot Ann Line-
berry of Greenville, Martha Johnson
of Charlotte, Sally Rogers of Wilson,
Rebecca Moore of Washington, and
Jacqueline McDaniel of Fayetteville.
The play was attractively and ar-
tistically staged. Scenery was de-
signed and built by Walter White
and John Shaw of Raleigh and Nancy
Cooke of Dunn. Colorful costumes
and elaborate lighting effects exe-
cuted under the direction of H. Bar-
clay Ritner Jr. of Rocky Mount con-
tributed to the success of the pro-
duction.
The play was sponsored by the
Greenville Branch of the Ameriian
Association off University Women, of
which Mrs. D. S. Spain Jr. is presi-
dent. Louise Williams of the East
Carolina faculty was in charge of
the distrif ution of tickets and other
arrangements for the performances.
Merle Kelly of Raleigh served as
director of the play, and Dr. Joseph
A. Withey of the department of Eng-

of the Delta Zeta fraternity, an or-

dents. a president of the East Caro-
lina College chapter for the 11)55-
L&56 term. He succeeds Lloyd W.dtley
of Sanford.
Howard is a graduate of the Hugh
Morson High School in Raleigh. Be-
entering East Carolina, he at-
ed the University of North Caro-
lina and served for three years in the
U. S. Coast Guard. He is a member of
the campus Veterans Club and in
academic work is majoring in the
mei t of business education.
Other officers who will direct ac-
tivities of the fraternity during the
coming school year are Edward M.

The plans for renovation include
cleaning out the pool, fixing the foun-
tain, planting grass around the pool
and putting up a fence around the
area.
In order that the newspaper might
continue regular publication the leg-
islature appropriated $250 in an-
swer to Faye O'Neal's request.
Boyd Webb, chairman of the So-
cial Committee, made an annual re-
port on the work of the Social Com-
mittee. He also recommended that
t e name of the Student Union be
changed to College Union. The rea-
son for such a change was that Stu-
dent Union is often confused with
the Baptist Student Union. Webb
pointed out that the Baptist Student
Union was founded first and that in
due consideration the legislature
should change the name of the Stu-
dent Union.
After serious discussion pertaining
to votir g procedures here a
aiotion was made stating that
a committee of three be ap-
pointed to investigate through the
Industrial Arts department as to how
much several voting booths would
cost. This motion was amended to
say that the committee would also
investigate methods of improving our
present election methods. The motion
as amended was carried. Harvey Da-
vis, Raby Edwards and Sally Sedg-
wick were appointed to serve on this
committee.
Upon a recommendation from Jean
Buchanan, a motion was made and
passed stating that if the SGA table
cloths were not returned within seven
school days after they were borrow-
ed, a fine not exceeding five dollars
would be charged.
In behalf of the AFROTC Officers
Club, Emo Boado apologized to the
Home Economics Club for their delay
in returning the tahle cloths.

many East Carolina students this
past weekend. The occasion for the
gathering was the Azalea Festival.
Although the severe cold wave, which
came a week earlier, killed the ma-
jority of the azaleas, the crowds
proved to be larger than ever.
There were the usual house parties,
dances, golf tournaments and one
cannot fail to mention the spectacu-
lar parade. We might add here that
this parade is supposed to be the
largest in North Carolina. Beautiful-
ly decorated floats, which included
the attractive girls, military and ci-
vilian dignitaries, comedian acts and
marching bands, were the main at-
traction in this two hour train.
On hand for this occasion were
such dignitaries as Miss Polly Ber-
gen, the popular Pefpsi-Cola star, Bet-
ty Jo Ring, Miss North Carolina of
1954, and Miss Sara Shane, popular
movie star who reigned over the
1955 Azalea Festival.

tendants proved to be a notable at-
traction for East Carolina students.

lina in the parade and in many other
activities.
The high stepping majorettes and
the fine playing ECU band under
the direction of Mr. Herbert Carter
also made a good showing for the
college. Also the Collegians were no
minor factor in making a showing
for the school. They provided the
music for the Teen-Age Ball, which
was held Friday night.
Just prior to the intermission of
the Teen Age Ball, the Azalea Prin-
cess and her attendants were pre-
sented. On hand to crown the prin-
cess was Miss Sara Shane, the Aza-
lea Queen,
On Saturday night a large crowd
of ECC students attended the Coro-
nation Ball. The Azalea Queen and
her attendants, who came from vari-
ous colleges and universities of
North Carolina, were presented to-
gether.
Sunday brought the conclusion to
a very successful Azalea Festival.

High School Seniors
See College In Action
The thirteenth annual High School
Day held at East Carolina College
on April 1 brought approximately
3,500 students from North Carolina
High Schools to the college.
Dr. Ed Carter served as chairman
of the High School Day Committee
in organizing various activities for
the visiting students. The round of
activities were carried out giving the
students an opportunity to see "a
college in action" and to observe the
phases of campus life, both academic
and recreational.
The day's program opened with
special greetings to the guests by
President Johu D. Messick. Varied
selections by the College Choir, the
Men's Varsity Glee Club and the
College Band were given in Wright
auditorium as a part of the opening
greetings.
The guests were taken on guided
tours through the classroom buildings
and the college grounds. Departments
of instruction held open house during
the morning and early afternoon.
Exhibits and demonstrations were
shown to convey the idea of study
and activity in various fields of col-
lege instruction.
After a picnic barbecue lunch on
the campus grounds, the Air Force
ROTtC cadets gave a military review
in honor of the visitors. Other events
of the day included a fashion show
sponsored by the Home Economics

Bipartisan Politics
In answer to a letter to the editors advocat-
ing the promotion of a party system for campus
politics, we did a lot of thinking and came to the
conclusion that we agree with the young man
with that idea.
Certainly there are enough people around
here who find it easy to disagree. Politics is uni-
versally known as a most controversial topic, sec-
ond only to religion. From our experience with
the SGA, there can be a lot accomplished through
co-operation but a lot more can be done through
controversy. There are definitely at least two
factions already on the campus. Why don't they
organize into separate parties?
Competition precedes achievement. It is one
of our basic democratic rights. Everyone respects
the fellow who has enough faith in his beliefs to
demand the right to fight for their success.
And back we go to the lack of interest in
student government here. We are daring you to
disprove our charges. The party system would
be a good start at creating more interest. It would
further the interests of both the mock and real
politicians on our campus.
For Basic Protection
For two weeks we complained about the
general ignorance in the United States of basic
governmental principles. The Social Studies De-
partment has furnished us another inspiration
this week; we are now complaining about the
general ignorance of the civil defense program.
Specifically we need to put attention on learning
what to do in case of an atomic attack.
During this week the government classes and
several of the other classes in the Social Studies
Department are taking tests on the basic ques-
tions concerning atomic attacks. Most of those
who have already struggled with the list of ques-
tions readily admit that the interrogation is only
on the simple essentials. They go further to say
that they answered to the best of their abilities
and none of them feel that they passed the test.
Probably people all over the country will fail the
test.
In this case, failure will not be so pathetic
as the failure to know something about govern-
ment. Organized civil defense is not nearly so
old as our government. But there are those who
agree with us that it is even more basic. Perhaps
the Social Studies Department has instigated
something useful; a realization of ignorance often
precedes action eradicate that evil.
Queries On Education
One of the major problems facing the experts
in the field of secondary education is the deci-
sion on whether to continue the current trend of
emphasis on specialized curriculums in high
schools. There are those educators who wish to
re-emphasize the validity of the theory of provid-
ing high school students with a general type of
education that will give them a background for
any kind of work. The question is one that con-
cerns students here because so many of us are
going to be teachers in secondary education.
There is always a current argument on the
whether-or-nots of some philosophy of education.
There are always some who take the position of
the man who said "What does it matter how we
get educated, just so we do it?" The disagreement
with that opinion says that you can't just get
educated.
The noted educational theorists, John Dewey
and Harold Rugg, began promotion of an idea
that was going to revolutionize education. It was
the "child-centered" theory of education. The
child was recognized as a "whole person" and
teachers were to plan their activities after re-
alizing that the school was for the student. Some
people think the change is refreshing; others say
it is disgusting because the teacher has to ask
the student what he feels like doing and sit by
shedding hair and gritting teeth while great big
Joe in the seventh grade plays with goldfish for
�aeveral hours.
The point we wish to make is that there are
several theories of education. They are important
to us as potential teachers. Familiarity with sev-
eral or all of them will do no harm.

accomplishing something that will
revive class competition on our cam-
pus.

Letters To Editor
Dear Fellow Students,
Whenever we have dances on cam-
pus there are many students who
do not attend�not because they do
not enjoy dancing, hut because they
fail to get dates. The boys are often
too shy and timid to ask a girl for
a date or either he neglects to ask
s girl until it is too late to get a
date. You will also find it true that
boys are hesitant about going stag
to a dance. When a boy asks a girl
for a date and she refuses he is often
discouraged against asking anotheT
girl.
The girl's main excuse lor not
going is that she was not asked.
Other reasons offered are that she
doesn't want to go stag or her dress
is not here.
It is my belief that the boys on our
campus should wise up and not keep
waiting for some cute babe to come
along and ask him. (If he does that
he will probably be waiting for a
long time.) Another thing that boys
should keep in mind is that they
should not wait until the last minute
to begin looking for a date.
Many girls have formed the opinion
that it is unethical to invite boys to
accompany them to a dance or any
other social events on campus unless
they go steady or axe engaged. Most
of our college social functions are
closed to outsiders so naturally one
cannot attend without being invited.
At all women's colleges girls have
no alternative but to invite boys to
social events if they expect to have
a date. Why, then, can't the girls
here at East Carolina feel free to
invite toys to dances?
Why don't the various women's
dormitories sponsor dances on the
weekends? Although Wright will be
a little large for such an event, may-
be the basement of the gym could
be used and a combo could be hired
to furnish music.
This would be a good start toward
making girls feel free to invite boys
from the college as well as outsiders.
This would also liven up the weekends
and maybe more students would en-
joy staying up on the weekends.
The May Day Dance and the Junior-
Senior are the two big social events
remaining for this gchool year. With
these two big occasions before us,
why don't students take advantage
in asking dates to tfhe dance?

All About "Russ"
The person generally featured in
our column is one who holds many
ffices around campus or at least
one important one. Although this
is a small and select group it would
still take us many more issues to
get around to all of these people. We
think it only fair, however, that we
feature some of the (people around
campus who are equally as interest-
ing although they are not big office-
holders.
Our column photo shows Betty
Raaeell (or "Russ" as her friends
call her), who is a senior from Salis-
bury. She attended both Pheiffer
Junior College and Woman's College
before entering East Carolina. Her
major is physical education and she
is quite active in the Women's Ath-
letic Association.
Russ' hobby is painting, and she
does quite well at it, too, although
she has never studied art. She started
painting with oils when she was a
'X! homore in college, but had work-
ed with water colors before beginning
with oils.
?� e was given excellent criticism
of her work by the Art Center School
in Log Angeles, California. This gave
her the qualifications for entering
the school, but she decided to con-
tinue her studies in Physical Edu-
cation. She hopes some day to have
time to do some studying in art. Russ
would be glad to show any interested
person some of her paintings.
We were interested in a saying
that she requotes as one of her be-
liefs: "Be courteous to all, but in-

This column has been devoted to various
comments concerning the campus Men's Judiciary
for quite some time now. The function or non-
function of this body should be of primary im-
portance td the student body. The incoming ad-
ministration has the chance to improve upon the
Men's Judiciary a great deal. We hope that they
will do so. The past Judicial members did draK
the old Judiciary up from absolutely nothing, and
gave it some by-laws. These laws may be par-
tially void of power, but nevertheless it wah a
step in the right direction. Let's hope the new,
SGA will go even further in establishing a work-
ing Men's Judiciary.
There is one working Judiciary on cam;
ihe Woman's Judiciary is well organized, work-
rig under specific rules and regulations CODcei
mjf the women students at East Carolina. At
i. si.iig of this year each dormitory president
was M'ven a list of offenses and demerits they
carry, along with the standard procedure for
handling dorm cases. A list of offenses which go
directly to the Woman's Judiciary was alr
eluded. This was an excellent step in organiza-
tion and control. In the past the Judiciary had
been criticised a great deal for not being con-
sistent.
Since working from these set regulations for
the amount of demerits given a delinquent for a
specilic offense, there has appeared a few thai
which can be improved upon. One offense th
dorms enforce is giving demerits for socializing
out of the individual's room after 11:00 p.
(week nights). This offense carries two demer
One demerit seems sufficient.
It is little things like the above that could
be improved upon. Demerits count up and
are too easy to get. With the accumulation of
demerits from the Dormitory Committee the giri
is referred directly to the Woman's Judiciary
restriction. A re-evaluation of parts of the de-
merit system would be a good move. It is not
fatal to make changes where they are needed

students here have no pride what-

After talking with Mr. Wendell Smi-

A recent statement in Sportg Echo
of this paper (March 24) has caused
quite a bit of discussion among the
students at East Carolina. The state-
ment to which I refer is the fact that
East Carolina College employs more
instructors with Doctor's degrees than
does the University of North Garo-
irta.
Since the release of such a state-
ment we have inquired deeper into
the subject and we have found infor-
mation that will clearly back up the
statement. Within the "State-Supiport-
ed Hiprher Education in North Caro-
lina which is a report of the Com-
mission on Higher Education, we
were able to find a table showing
the education level attained by facul-
ty members in North Carolina Col-
leges.
Of East Carolina's faculty 60.4
have doctor's degrees while only
45.2 of the University of North
Carolina faculty have doctor's de-
grees. Not only does East Garoliua
exceed the University of North Caro-
lina but it also exceeds the other
colleges throughout North Carolina.
East Carolina, in this aspect, cer-
tainly holds a definite advantage over
the other colleges and universities
throughout North Carolina and this
fact should certainly be recognized
throughout the state.
There has also been considerable
some students throw cigarette butts discussion around campus about the
on the floors, and write on the fur- May Day plans for this year. Prior
niture and the walls of the restrooms
indicates that at least some students
have no pride in the building at all.
I don't believe that all the students
have that attitude toward the build-
ing. It's surely a very small minority.
We have a mighty nice building here,
and we hope that you students will
help us keep it that way
Here V There
It was so cold at the ECC-Wake
Forest game a while back that sev-
eral of the Deacon boys built a roar-
ing fire beside the stands. It's no
wonder that the Deacs got 14 runs;
no one built a fire for the Pirates!
Grace Kelly is a vary deserving
actress, but we were very disap-
pointed when Judy Garland failed to
win the Oscar last Wednesday night
for "Best actress of the year We
will be rememfcering her performance
in "A Star s Bom" for a long time.
That's around enough!
to this year the event has been an
afternoon affair, but earlier this year
the SGA voted to change the after-
noon activities to a dance.
This, in my opinion, is a major
improvement. If students will only
strive to make it such, this event can
become one of the highlights of the
year.
As it once stood, the committee
,put forth much effort in trying to
make it a successful occasion and no
recognition was acquired. It has in
the past been more of a "come as yon
are" affair to which students never
gave any serious thought.
tin answer to questions about the
dance being closed, from observing
past attendance at the afternoon ac-
tivities we have noted tihat parents
of participants make up the largest
part of the outsiders. Although the
dance is closed to college students,
their datea, and faculty members, the
Queen and her attendants will be able
to invite their parents.
It is our sincere hope that the Administra-
tion will study and consider the suggestions that
have appeared in this column for the pa�t few
weeks and, in so doing, find an immediate way
to install the desired drink machines. The fact
that every girl on campus wants these drink ma-
chines, is a prominent feature that should be
taken into consideration by the Administration.
The following letter should be read by every-
one! It contains many practical and concrete sug-
gestions for removing the obstacles that Dean
White pointed out stood in the way of installing
the drink machines. In last week's paper there
was a letter to the Editor, written by Jimmy
Phelps, president of the freshman class. In this
letter he made the suggestion that machines, like
the one at the Pitt Theatre, could perhaps be in-
stalled. This type of machine would eliminate the
problems of stray bottles and unstored crates.
Dear Anne George:
In answer to Dean White's reasons for not
being able to have drink machines in the dormi-
tories I would like to make these comments and
suggestions.
Men at the present time come in and out our
dorms throughut the day. There is the laundry
man, the cleaners man, the garbage collector a
well as other maintenance men. They sometimes
announce their presence and at other times don't,
but I believe that the girls are usually cautious
when they enter the halls if they aren't dressed.
Therefore, I don't believe one more man would
cause trouble.
There are closets in the dorms which aren't
filled up, or if they were more orderly arranged
would provide space for the drink crates. How-
ever, if necessary small "closets" could be built
from scrap material for the sole purpose of hold-
ing these crates.
I would like to suggest the pressing rooms
as a good place to put the machines. They are
usually located where the noise would bother only
a few girls and I think that if the area around
the machines was an enforced quiet area noise
would not develop to too great a pitch anyway.
As it is, about 9:00 p.m. girls begin gathering in
the halls to see who is going to the Soda Shop.
Which noise would be worse?
Girls can be depended on to carry bottles to
the designated place. We have a few in our rooms
now, but don't we take them back to the sen-ice
station when we return for more drinks? I think
the girls would cooperate on this score.
Couldn't the maids replenish the drink ma-
chines during the day? I understand that It is
neither a difficult nor a very time consuming job.
If vending and drink machines have been
successful in the men's dorms surely the girls
could be just as dependable.
Yours truly,

on a single by clean-up batter Gene
Turner. Cecil Heath continued his
hitting ways with two hits, one of
which was a homerun.

Sportlite selection. The former San-
ford star displayed a masterful de-
livery last Friday as he twirled a
seven-inning no-hit, no-run game
against High Point, leading East
Carolina's high-flying Pirates to a
3-0 victory. Pruett's spectacular per-
formance came in the second game
of a doulbleheader before hundreds
of high school day students and it
enabled the Pirate baseballers to j
make a clean sweep of the twinbill.
The hard-working Pruett faced 24
men in the game, walked two batters,
and hit one. No High Point player
got farther than first base and only
three of them reached the initial
sack as the freshman righthander's
slants kept the Panthers from High

EAST CAROLINIAN
Featurist Reviews Production Of 'Stalag 17'
Outstanding Play By Goldsboro Group
by Anne George
One of the most enjoyable playg to
be presented at East Carolina during
the recent Drama Festival was the
Goldsboro Hijrh School production of
"Stalag 17" under the direction of
Clifton Britton, director of the Gold-
masquers.
Clifton Britton is an alumni of
AFROTC SponsorsCalendar of Events
Bloodmobile Unit
April 14 has been selected as the
date for appearance of the Pitt Coun-
East Carolina, and directed plays here ty Bloodmobile Unit on the East
for six year, before going to Golds- Carolina campus. The project � being
boro in 1942 at which time he inau-
gurated the drama group referred to
as the "Goldnvasquers While at East
Carolina he was president of hi� clasg
for four years. In the summers he
directs "The Lost Colony He wrote
"The Shepherd Song the story of
the Christ child, which i8 presented
under his direction each Christmas in
Goldsboro. One of the oast members
said. "If you see the director you can
see tve play It can be stated that
Clifton Britton feels the plays so
deeply that he projects this feeling
not only into each actor, but into the
play as a whole.
This group has been called "The
South' Outstanding Theatre for
Youth" by many critics. Any Golds-
boro high school student is eligible
to join, in 1948 this group went to
Courtland, N. Y. and won first place
the National Drama Festivals,
sponsored by the campus AFROTC
Cadet Corps.
According to a spokesman for the
AFROTC, 'blood is needed badly as a
part of our national defense organi-
zation. An average healthy adult has
: rom 12 to 13 pints of blood in his
body. It takes no special effort tfn
tihe part of the body to replace one
IP in of blood. The cadets hope to see
a large number of donors appear.
Blood donors in previous years have
been required to be 21 years of age
or over unless they have written
permission from their parents. Blood
will not be accepted from anyone
under 18 years old. Students have
been e-xcused from classes to visit
the bloodmofjile for contributions
heretofore.

changed her mind and came down

Mary Jo says that she thought
Marvin mw a big flirt but now she
knows it is just his way.
Last year during spring quarter a
very unusual thing happened concern-

work early enough to get to the cam-
pus movie on time, as was often the
case, so Mary Jo was to sit near the
back and he'd meet her. Well, when
Marvin came in he sat down without
observing his date very closely, the

The Night Aunt Minnie Died
by William Wadsworth Arnold
We wuz settin' 'round th' stove one, When th' preacher com around;
� ht Walked into th' setting room aud
,A-talking 'bout th' crops, There Aunt Minnie found.
W en ole Aunt Minnie rolls her eye I He bowed poiitely to her and
An' to the floor she flops.
We figured he was mebbe tired
So we iet her lay a spell,
An' after while we went to bed,
We figured all wuz well.
All next day she stayed right there
A-sprawled out 'cross th' floor,
We figured she wuz just wore out
From plowfn th' day before.
We (ii in't wake he- up her meals,
We knew rl vram't no use;
T�;ped his ole straw hat,
He a&t her how she's feeling
And talked 'bout this and that.
Well, half-way through his talkir.
He found she wam't awake.
"You feelin' bad, my woman?"
He ast, "For goodness, sake?"
9 t didn't answer a word, he &
And his pride was hurt real deep.
He ast her more blame questions,
But fum her come not a peep

colleges, with their presentation of

peted at Chapel Hill in the state dra-
ma festival and usually win more
first place? than all of the other
schools combined.
Certain aspects of the play that
were most commendable were the
scenery, acting ability, and lighting
effic Although the average age of
the boys was only about 16, on the
stage their voices acquired the depth
and character of men in their middle
twenties. The contrast of their voices
were also another achievement that
could only be a result of hard, consci-
entious work.
There was very little variation from
the movie and the play versions ex-
cept that all of the play had its set-
ting inside the barracks, and, there-
fore, more activity was carried on
here so that the audience could under-
and what was happening outside.
The plot was concerned witih life
in a German prison camp during
World War II. The scenery and seta
used were startlingly like what you
would encounter in a prison camp.
Although the play was mainly of a
humorous nature, certain bits of irony
throughout the story gave "Stalag
17" a raw, naked effect.
During intermission I talked to Dr.
Edgar Hirshibeig and he said, "I have
Been many high school productions,
but I feel that tihis wa9 one of the
best I have ever seen
Jim Co rum and Nancy Cooke both
remarked about the authenticity of the
scenery. Nancy said, "The depth and
contrast in their voices is truly re-
markable
Tommy Thompson pointed out that
the only minor technical defect he saw
throughout the whole production was
the fact that they wore the Air Force
Chevrons, which didnt come into ef-
fect until after the period when the
play was produced. "The lighting ef-
fects were quite impressive he add-
ed.
Although they are high school stu-
dents, when on the stage they are in
all respects professional. Sincerely, I
believe that whatever this group un-
dertakes to produce, it will be the
best.
1953. Marvin was working in the
soda shop when he first saw Mary
I Jo. His first impression was that he
thought she was mighty cute and,
therefore, he decided he'd like to date
her.
A friend of theirs asked Mary Jo
if she knew the boy who worked in
the soda shop and if she would like
to date him. Ift turned out that her
answer was positive.
However, this was at the end of
fall quarter, so when Marvin tried
tant in giving. She later withdrew
her hand. Through all this, Marvin
had not looked at the girl. Pretty
soon the girl declared she believed
he had her tangled up with someone
else. And sure enough he did, for
Mary Jo was sitting behind him dur-
ing this period, apparently giggling
all behind her ears. Marvin and Mary
Jo explained the situation to the
other girl.
