Jam~s Maxwell has played in two one act plays and proved to be a worker in both and improved, as a result. C~,-J~~ Cr~wford has been a helpful 1li i{~f1s\lown up for work, even when otb'e'l1$ didn't.

Although our meeting in the new building won't be regular for a while longer, this marks an important growth in our campus. Since Godden lowered to a level field, chapel has met in various inadequate places, major pro– ductions have been cut in half, and we have been using the high school facili– ties their first year in their own build– ing. Now after months of waiting we have one of the finer auditoriums of the state, complete with comfortably cush- · · ioned theatre seats, air conditioning, and that wonderful stage! Now, what are we going to do with it? Within a year's time will there be a wide range of gum flavors under the seats? Are we going to lounge in the seats with our shoes scarring the backs of the seats? What are we going to leave here for those that will follow– our names carved on the wood work? Then there is the stage with its hun– dreds of dollars in equipment. Will we all consider it our duty to operate each-~~ gadget? That rope that· you pull along with it's rigging is worth four hundred of those hundreds. I'm proud of the building and you are toq. Let's show it in our treatment. When we start using the building in full swing, I believe our school spirit will soar to· an all time high, or at least it can. This is a great school and let's not w~it till we've left to decide that it is. ·r. * * ·lf- ,J?lans are now being made for the pro– du~tion of Ibsen's famous play "A Doll's House" in a ~iniature form. The play will be directed by Pat Rowe. The play is cut to a thirty minute show and will be of interest to all past, present, and ·future Humanities students. Jack Plum– mer will soon cast the one act fantasy, "Mind_ Set." A third production of this type 'will be directed by Benny Holland in the near future. TRIO MUSIC ART DRAMA MEREDITH THOM You voted for twelve different -pic– -tures by ~even different artists. Those seven included Mary Burton, Betty Mit– chen, Betty Webb, and those who placed. The picture receiving the largest number of votes was "Death of a Mon– arch" by Dale Todd, "Celestial Choir" by yours truly was second, and tying for third place were Bob Jordan's "Cold War" and Freda Gibson's "Route 1, Box 53". All of the pictures that placed were almost as close as the third place tie, while there was a definite decline in the number of votes received, after those in third place. Dale Todd is to be congratulated for his continued interest in art although he is not majoring in the subject. Some of us could well profit by his example of zeal. People usually like Dale's paintings and his reaching first place comes as no surprise. "Celestial Choir" is my best picture, in my opinion and I was elated to find th~t someone else liked it. You might be inoorested in knowing that my old brush completelv wore out. and L:Q.aj!lt~ ed the major pnrt of it with my fillg·ers. F1·eda handl.;s her charcoal very well and with the use of perspective gained your attention to "Route 1, Box 53" . Her's is the only picture that placed and wasn't painted in oils. Bob has achieved the satire of a political cartoonist in his "Cold War" although I could never live with the picture. Following their program of last Mon– day nig·ht, the Girl's Glee Club in view of the rain moved their reception to the Student Center, climaxing their past , season. On Friday night the one hun– dred and twenty five voices of the Large Chorus joined togethe1· under the direction of Bro. Ritchie and presented their annual concert. Whoever you are, the next time you play your record of "An American In Paris," would you please turn it up louder? If it were that popular ditty, "Searcy, Arkansas," I wouldn't need to make this request. What role does dramatics play at Harding College? In this past year of innumerable difficulties there were forty-five different students who par– ticipated in plays. Twenty-five of the forty-five played in more than one role and six actors held four Ol" more roles, this past year. This includes twelve plays, two major productions and the remainder one acts. The total number would be larger if it were possible to list those who did other jobs than play– ed roles. Next year we will present four '· --~>- .,;.._.. m!lior nroductions
