Drama has achieved a high level of excellence under the direction of the Department of Speech. An active program of one-act plays undergirds the three-act major productions. Students obtain experience in acting, directing, staging, lighting, costuming and make-up. During May and June, 1966, the Harding Collegiate Players, under the auspicies of the United Service Organizations, presented Where's Charley? and a talent show to military bases in Greenland, Labrador and Newfoundland. Major three-act productions for 1966-67 were The Would-Be Gentleman, The Miracle Worker and Hedda Gabler. Also, the Department of Speech assisted in the presentation of the Opera Brigadoon. Membership in Campus Players comes to those who display both interest and ability in drama. Students and faculty members who make outstand - ing contributions to drama are invited to membership in Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatics fraternity . The Eta Omega Cast of Alpha Psi Omega held its fall induction at Bill 's Grill and its spring induction at the Augusta Inn.
