The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-05

IlIIlSLOH COulU HOL III d LC
Perhaps next year we shall fine
ourselves in the midst of rollick
ing sled rides on a hill, covered
thinly, but covered, nevertheless;
or we will be gayly rolling and
packing the snow for the artist
cally created little mar with
pieces of coal for his dark button
features who sits in our front
yard. So We'll be waiting for tins
snow now it's L turn to have
next winter!!
Even though cold weather ling.
ers on and the brisk March winds
still whip icily around us, we find
signs of the coming spring all
about us.
Included in the noticing is the
school calendar, which notes the
days fast falling on us when the
May Day festival, the Junior
Senior prom, the Senior play ano
other spring festivities will be
upon us. One of the main events
of the spring season in the life o:
us around high school is the Hi-Y
Minstrel. This show is presented
each year by members of the Hi-Y
and Tri-Hi-Y clubs of Wilmington
The big date coming up is March
%.
The minstrel is again this yeal
in the most capable hands of di
rector, Earl Brown; and FATTY
What = Would ~We-Do-Without-He1
Jones is to be the accompanist
The outstanding characters who
are to dish out the laughs this
year are end-men ]. C. Price
Rodney Lawrence, Rex Willis, ane
Allen Lanier, and the end-womer
Betty Lou OMaster, and Mickie
Harris.
Returning to the stage thi:
spring as hits from the minstre
last year are end-men Rex Will:
and Allen Lanier. Both boys will
be remembered for their comica
capers and are expected to hanc
out as good a show as last years
Although j. c. Price and Rod
|ney Lawrence r the newcomers
in the end-men line up, they seem
to promise equally as good parts as
Rex and Allen. Also Betty Lou and
Mickie appear as end-Women in
their first leads in d Hi-Y Min
strel; but. as both are quite IA
miliar with stage work and play
acting as we'll ss being entirely
suited for the parts they hold, they
both definitely show signs Of be-
ing a show within a show!
Richard Galphin steps into the
spotlight as Mr.. Interlocutor, the
fella to whom the eld-men and
end-women's conversation is di-
rected.
Much hard work falls OF the
shoulders of the student manager
of the production, Jack McCarley,
but with Jacks capability and per-
sistence, the show appears to be
headed for SUGGEST!
Quite naturally the committees
form a most important part of a
production, and they seem to be
the ones who rarely are given any
notice regardless of the work they
are responsible for and the duties
they hold. So let's look into this
matter and see who we have on
committees this year.
