100 or More Roles To Be Civ
en- Islanders, Tryouts in
Manteo School Gym

Residents of Roanoke Island, as
they have each spring for Is sea-
sons, will tryout for roles in The
Lost Colony on Saturday, March
Is, it was announced by General
Manager Dick Jordan. The island
ers and residents of the Dare Coast
will be seeking roles in the SYM
phonic drama by Paul Green which
will begin its 14th season at Fort
Raleigh on June 26 this year.
In announcing the date for is
land tryouts, Manag Jordan
stated that a total of 81 per-
formances will be presented this
year, continuing nightly Except
Mondays) through September 5.
The island tryouts will be held
in the Manteo High School gym
nasium under the supervision of
Samuel Selden of the School of
Dramatic Arts, University of
North Carolina. Selden has held
the top spot on the directing staff
of The Lost Colony since the
shows original premiere in 1887.
Each year more than one-half
of the Lost Colony's company of
residents of Roanoke Island.
approximately 200 persons are
The roles in the drama and jobs
in the company are filled by local
students, business men, or house
wives.
1t is not unusual for resident
of Manteo who is a lawyer or
merchant by day, to become an
actor at night. Most of the roles
played by local actors are non
speaking parts, however some of
the most colorful scenes of the
play, such as dancers, Indian
maids or braves and colonist men
or women feature local actors.
Local actors seldom have major
speaking roles in the drama, due
to the fact that such parts require
full time of the person during sew
eral weeks of rehearsals prior to
the shows opening.
Statewide tryouts for parts in
The Lost Colony will be held il
Chapel Hill during mid-spring, ii

MANTEO ROTARIANS VIEW
MARTFIA'S VINEYARD FILM

Members of the Manteo Rotary
Club Monday night viewed a
film of Martha's Vineyard, Mass
achusetts, which illustrated to
good advantage the beauties of
he island and its attractions for
INNER visitors. It had nothing
n our part of the North Carolina
coast beyond the evidence that a
little more wealth had been put
out for the comfort of its resi-
dents.
The club heard a suggestion
from Roland Sawyer that it spon-
sor a plan to get building for
Boy Scouts to hold their meet
ings, since their previous meet
ing place at the Methodist
Church did not seem quite APP
propriate for this sort of meeting.
The club members commented
favorably on the idea of sponsor
ing a new project.

came Captain of two-masted
freighter sailing between Eliza
beth City and Ocracoke, the boat
belonging to Capt. Banks, who
operated stores at Kitty Hawk
and North River. He was paid the
monstrous salary of $40 per
month, but that was a lot of
money in those days. His deck
hand got $40 per month. Capt
Banks also had charge of the
mail route between Powells
Point and Manteo, and Mr.. Perry
ran that for him too.
Mr.. Perry remembers many
cold winters, and one winter
while he was running the mail he
and Tom Baum, Elijah Baum and
another man walked from Kitty
Hawk to Powells Point on the
ice, dragging a skiff behind them
in order to cross a few thin spots
here and there.
After his first Mrs. Perry died
Bill married Florida Harrel, also
a widow, of Columbia, N. c. His
third wife, also a widow and
from Columbia, is the former
Mrs. Jennette DeMary. Today
they both keep an attractive
looking home and grounds at
Sound Landing in Kitty Hawk.
Of the first marriage Mr.. Perry
has four children: Theodore Wes-
ley Perry, who works at the
Naval base in Norfolk; Dennis A.
Perry of Kitty Hawk; Elsie
Thomas, now a widow; and H.
Otila Williams of Norfolk. He has
IA grandchildren, 16 great-grand-
children, and 6 great-great-grand-

By Roger Meekins

Bill Perry of Kitty Hawk, 90
years old, married for the third
time when he was Is, and all
three of his wives were widows
when he married them. Now the
oldest man on Kitty Hawk, he
still splits his own wood, sets
and fishes several 30-yard nets,
and poles his boat. He gets about
spryer than many men much
younger.
Bill Perry was born October %,
1861, at Newbern's Landing in
Currituck County, where his
father was mill attendant. That
and the next four years were
perilous ones, and Mr.. Perry,
though only about four years old
at the time, remembers some
men called RED Caps" who came
down, and ''they scared me so
bad I ran and hid from them"
Men were going to war then. Il
remember that my father said
they didn't draft him, because he
was helping to- supply the
soldiers with food by running
the windmill and grinding the
meal" Mr.. Perry recalled. The
mill was known as Chadwick's
Mill.
When he was 81, Bill Perry
married a widow of his acquain-
lance, Holland Crank Perry, of
Colington. They lived for year
at Point Harbor, then moved to
Colington for the next ten years.
'There wasn't any school at Co
lington in them days" Mr.. Perry
said, $50 me and John Nelson
hired teacher, MIR. Albert
Lewis, for $40 a month during
the summer for a couple OF
months" Each of them had four
children, and they hoped that
other families would come in
with them and help share the
expense, ''but nary one sent
their children to the teacher"
After Mr.. Perry moved to
Kitty Hawk, where he has been
for the past 50 years. 81 moved
because the schools were better
here" he said. There were two
schools here then and there
wasn't one ON Colington." He
wanted his children to have q
better education.
Capt. Perry has followed the
water all his life. He worked for
a long time as a deck hand on
freight boat between Norfolk and
Baltimore, hauling sometimes as
much as 10000 shingles. Capt.
Sykes was the skipper of the
vessel. ''My father told me that
it was dogs life going to sea,
SO never sailed on a seagoing
vessel" After his experience
with Capt. Sykes, Mr.. Perry be-
