1955-1956 Yearbook

"Casualty South of Manila" - directed by Helen Hendrix , winner of the best one act play award. Plays are given as fulfillment of a speech major requirement. • One branch of learning which concerns many students is the field of dramatics. Working and learning together in the speech classrooms and the dramatic organizations contributes to the student's development in this field . The Apprentices to Campus Players. Campus Players and Alpha Psi Omega, ana· tional honorary dramatic fraternity, are the dramatic clubs at Harding. Members of these organizations spend many industrious hours working towards the production of the plays which were presented during the year. The performances ranged from the talent shows to the three major play productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Silver Cord." and "Poppa Is All." Students, anxious to demonstrate their talents, were given an opportunity to do so at the talent shows . After the first talent show if\ the fall, the student body eagerly awaited the spring performance. The long wait was well rewarded since the show was a big success. Students also looked forward to the production of the one act plays. The production class, Campus Players and the Apprentices combined forces to provide entertainment every two weeks by these plays. "Midsummer Night's Dream" - first Shakespearean production on the Harding stage in years. Here Puck has just thrown a scare into the "lion" and his cronies. A scene from "Fall Footlights" - talent show. "The Tears," accompanied by the "The Bluc Beats" were part of the night's entertainment.
