Shakespearian Tragedy, "Hamlet/' Opens Two°Day Run Friday Evening

By DONNA HIERS and RAY BARFIELD

William Shakespeare's "Ham- let," this year's annual classical drama will be presented Friday and Saturday at 8:15 p. m. by the Curtain Raisers in Dobbs Audit- orium.

This year for the first time all seats will be reserved for both performances. Students may make their reservations this week in the Little Store. In exchange for their regular season pass students may secure tickets for reserved seats.

The play will star Mrs. Ida Mer- le Allen in the role of Queen Gertrude, Julian Dey as Hamlet and Nancy Childs as Ophelia. Charles Jones will be seen as Polonius.

Although the tradegy was completed in 1601 and has its setting in far away Denmark, it is today still one of the most quotable and beloved of Shakespeare's works.

The time of the play is during the twelth century. As the plot progresses one sees how one evil deed leads to another until finally it is a tragedy perhaps in every sense of the word.

LC. Really Wins Hats off to L. C.'ers! faculty and students alike.

It isn't everyday that you see members of the faculty and the student body sitting side by side yell- ing their hearts out.

It is hard to say what started it all, but it was like a ball of snow. As time rolled on and the tournament progressed you could see and feel high anticipations mounting on "the Hill."

LaGrange College does not have the G. I. A. C. trophy 'tis true, but actually we have gained something far better. As it grew closer to the end there seemed to be a common bond between all. Hopes were high. Although we lost the game, when the initial shock was over, we were all still in unison. Everyone felt he had done his part, even if it was just moral support, so in victory or defeat we all stood together.

Thanks to you, Panthers, cheerleaders, faculty, administration, and students — thanks to ALL who were interested. L. C. didn't lose after all, for now we really have — School Spirit.

The Pioneer of Life "Come along and live life with the 'Pioneer of

life.' With these words LaGrange College students and faculty found themselves transported beyond their chapel seats and looking within themselves objectively. It was an odd experience, a new one for some, but a healthy, wholesome, refreshing act. Lives were examined as students heard the answer to the age-old question "what is Life?" "It is living the best you can for Christ." And perculiarly enough, Rev. T. Cecil Myers seemed to have a medium's insight into the problems of youth as he tried to pin-point some of their problems. He gave to this campus something very rare — an intellectually stimulating explanation of the marvels and power of Jesus Christ.

It was not possible to merely "sit" in chapel and be spoon-fed a simple message. The audience had to listen with their ears, hearts and minds. They had to weigh what was said and then found to their surprise "why that's exactly what I needed!"

The universality of the Christian message is well-known and the logic of its teachings for all people is obvious, but to a young college person, searching far out beyond the realm of Sunday school precepts and home teachings, it is good to realize that these same precepts and teachings hold up when examined in the light of intellect and philosophy.

It is good to hear an obviously learned man say, "Here is the essence of life. Here is something you can take firm hold of in a quaking world. Here is Truth. Here is the Lord of the Universe and He is interested in YOU."

The students and faculty of LaGrange showed the agreement felt on campus for the man and his message by turning out in impressive numbers each time he spoke in the Little Chapel in the evening. Both groups filled the chapel and the support shown Religious Emphasis Week was outstanding.

To Rev. Myers goes heartfelt thanks for bring- ing to this campus an ancient message of an age- less Christianity — a faith that adapts itself to each generation and each trend in thought, pre- serving always its basic belief that Christ is the answer to the problems of the world.

Are Students Conformists? BY JOE HAYNIE

Are LaGrange College students conformists?

Conformity to a certain point is virtuous. Beyond that point it becomes criminal. Constant accep- ance of the status quo leads but to stagnation.

We have recently had a fine series of sermons on "Pioneering With The Pioneer of Life —Jesus Christ." Cannot the theme of pioneering be carried over into all phases of campus life?

The world is seldom ready for pioneers but it is eternally grate- ful for them. Men were not ready for Socrates so they gave him poisoin to drink. Yet, today students of philosophy rejoice in the

Letters to Editor The article on the "Dean's

List" is most interesting. I am glad you were not ashamed to publish it, for it seems as if a crime has been committed in allowing "eighty-five" to be on that sacred scroll. Why, even a halfwit can tell you the standard is much too low. I suggest raising it so only the brilliant, jealous few- can obtain the honor. Maybe this will cause more people to seek recognition in the sports pages of the "Hill-Top News."

Playing doesn't seem to be con- sidered a crime nor a sin. If this doesn't solve the problem, maybe one of the "brains" on the new list will explain to employers that a C at LaGrange College is really a good mark, for only one A is released per course. Russian style competition, as revealed in Chapel, has really inspired faculty and students. But of course the "brains" are already aware of that fact.

study of the works of Socrates. A man named Paul had his

head chopped off because men were not ready for his truths. Yet, his epistles are alive today. Neither was the world ready for Jesus Christ, so men hung Him on a Cross: but no man is more alive today.

These were not afraid to speak out for what they believed was right. They dared to be different. Our campus today cries out for students who dare to be different.

This is not a call for radicals and rabble rousers. Nor is it a call for martyrs. Rather it is a call for people who dare think for themselves and to stand up for their convictions.

Recently a L. C. student said, "I am in complete disagreement with a certain policy but I dare not say so because I would be ostracized." Why should this be?

Should students not raise their voices for what they believe? The wilderness of new thoughts and new methods is a constant frontier to be colonized just as our forefathers colonized this country. Elections, rules, needed changes, expressions of satisfaction — all these and many other areas offer opportunities for pioneers.

It appears to this writer that conformity is the price of pop- ularity on our campus. It pop- ularity worth this price? Perhaps we should all read Benjamin Franklin's little story which warns us not to pay too much for our whistle.

Are LaGrange College Students conformists?

HORTON HERE AND YON

SGA Valuable BY JOHN HORTON

Have j'ou ever thought about what LaGrange College would be like if there were no Student Gov- ernment?

Perhaps the situation would be nothing like what would happen to a nation or even a city without government but there are a few similarities that merit our at- tention.

If there were no Student Govern- ment on the Hill you wouldn't have much of a voice in what the administration and faculty do. The recommendations of this democ- ratic organ carry more influence than anyone wants to admit. Re-' cent changes in policy and proce- dure have been a result, directly and indirectly, of your Student Government.

There are some places, colleges and high schools, where the ad- ministrators have established a dictatorship to satisfy their whims and peeves. This invariably hap- pens where there is no student government, or where that sacred freedom of criticism and sugges- tion through free speech is neg- lected.

That suggests another element of the Student Government. It is of no value if it is not used and used properly. If a citizen is dis- satisfied with the conditions of his nations, state, county, or city there are those to whom he can express his oponions. The Student Government at LaGrange College is no less willing to help those who are interested in improving conditions on the Hill.

Many students are quick to criticize the "law and order" role that the Student Govern- ment assumes. What kind of a city would your home town be if all the police force quit. You and your family would be among the first to move away unless something was done quickly. Many ob- ject because their favorite pranks and sins are curtailed. Others ob- ject because they feel that they are too "grown-up" for some of the regulations, unfortunately everyone is not mature enough to act independently of social re- strictions.

The unfortunates who have never had the honor to serve on this body can't appreciate the understanding of the majority that it tries to develop. This association endeavors, as does any dem- ocratic institution, to mind the majority with consideration of the minority. This however is gov- erned in turn by two higher principles — one being the administration and the other the high moral standards of a Christ- ian college.

The Student Government is yours, use it, and even hallow it because LaGrange College just wouldn't be L. C. without it.

Unfortunately, the subject of "eighty-five" on the Dean's List was phrased poorly since the question going around campus seemed to be, "Is 2.25 too low an average for the Dean's List?"

Any campus poll should draw its topics from current student thought, and the poll published in the last issue was mainly a sampling of opinion on a subject that had caused considerable com- ment.

It was the opinion of many students that since other colleges have higher grade point averages to make the Dean's List we

should "keep up with the Jones" and do likewise.

Dear Editor: All this year we have been

noticing during chapel those who desire to use that hour for a study period, rather than to put all aside and utilize it as meant to be — to worship God. Many concerned students have noticed this and have discussed the problem, hoping to arrive at some solution.

In the first place, common cour- tesy is not being performed by the individual. Many think they are hidden behind the person in front, and that the speaker will never know the difference in one person's inattention. Any person who has spoken before a group, large or small, knows when even ONE person is not listening and can very well tell his attitude during the entire talk. Suppose three-fourths of the students sat back, with heads down, and tried to study. What would the speaker think? What would he do? We couldn't blame him for never re- turning, and maybe telling others the rudeness displayed to him. You may say this is an extreme example — but as one influences the other, it COULD POSSIBLY happen. . . .

Some concerned members of the Student Body.

(Editors Note) The policy agreed upon by the

newspaper staff at the beginning of the year in regard to "Letters to the Editor" was that unsigned letters can be printed only if the Editor knows who wrote it. This will eliminate the spiteful, vindi- cative type letter that should note be printed in any newspaper. The letters that are unsigned are kept that way at the writer's request, thus insuring" a certain amount of freedom of speech in voicing a particular complaint. It is hoped that this feature of the paper has and will continue to do some good.

In the long run, what can you really learn in that hour while trying to concentrate, and at the same time look attentive? . . .

CONFETTI... BY RAY BARFIELD

On February 24th. CBS-TV presented the Old Vic Company's ver- sion of "Hamlet" for a nationwide audience. Charlie Jones' mother watched the show at their home in Columbus and on the next afternoon she sat down to write Char- lie Jim, telling him about having seen the TV production and com- menting on the upcoming L. C. Curtain Raisers presentation (C. J. is playing the important role of Polonius.) She finished the letter with "To be or not to be" ready for supper, that is ;the question. "Love Mother."

Carolyn Hinkle commented recently that "Parallel reading was called parallel reading because like two parallel lines it never meets."

This is a story we heard on Jerri Chappelear's little brother, Randy, recently, and Jerri has been kind enough to allow us to print it here.

This incident happened when Randy. Chappelear was in the first grade. Like all first graders do (remember when?), the class (of 30) became restless and then plain ornery one day, and their teacher finally reached the end of her rope. "You're all acting just like babies! "she said. "What if I were to go down to^the drug- store and tell the man I wanted thirty baby bottles — What would he think?" Randy made an im- you were expecting mth mthtm mortal comeback. "He'd think you were expectin', that's what he'd think!"

Bryan Dobbs. in a dining hall conversation about Ida Cason Callaway Gardens, said that "I love that place: R's always so crowded that I can go out in a bathing suit and nobody knows the difference."

Claude Smith was really put to work in the campus library last week when the library received an order of 12 books and. much to his undoing, the pages had to be cut apart because the edges had not been cut in the manu- facturing process. When' Claude found out that I might write about his labors, he hastened to tell me that there were "Fifty more volumes downstairs that are in a lot worse shape than these!"

Twelve volumes with over 400 pages each to cut apart! Hmm- wonder if you can get Physical Ed. credit for that.

The Sports Bug BY PAUL BUGG

The close of this year's basketball season gives rise to many factors that should not go unnoticed. The 1958-59 Panther story shows records broken., LC basketball history made and many tributes to be given.

Finishing his third and best season, Coach Hir- am Reeves is to be congratulated on the fine job he and his squad have done this year. The Panthers finished the season with an outstanding 19-8 won-lost record to break the won-lost record of 15-9 set by last year's team. With only three regulars back from last year Coach Reeves worked hard and diligently to mold the finest team in the college's history.

The Panthers also finished second in the newly formed Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with a 12-2 record, losing only to the conference winner, Oglethorpe.

FIRST FOUR-LETTER MAN

Olin Harp, captain of the 1958-59 LC Panthers, will graduate this year with a history-making dis- tinction he can be proud of. Olin will be the first four-year letterman to graduate from the "Hill". Olin finished the season with a 5.6 point scoring average in compiling 118 points in 21 games. He was also third leading rebounder on the squad, hauling down 181 from the boards for an 8.6 average.

BROWN TOPS IN SCORING

Guard-forward Wallace Brown, 6'-l", 178 pound- er from Pine Log, Ga., finished the season as the scoring leader for the Panthers. Wallace, in totaling 393 points in 21 games, averaged 18.7 points per game. His highest single game total was 33 against Troy State and stands as the highest single game record of the season. Brown hit an amazing 51.5 percent from the field to top the Panthers in that department.

PANTHERS BACKBOARD KINGS According to statistics compiled by N. A. I. A.

sources the LC Panthers finished the season as the rebounding leaders of District 25, nosing out Georgia Teachers College in the final couple of weeks of the season. The Panthers picked off an average of 56.0 rebounds through 21 games as they totaled 1177. Wayne Copeland led the Panthers with 316 for an average of 15.0 which was good enough for top position in the district. Copeland also set the team's game record by grabbing off 26 against Berry Col- lege. In the same game the Panthers racked up 83— another season record. Opposition was able to haul down only 36 a game.

Brown Voted Unanimously As Meet MVP

Wallace Brown, 6'1" junior from Pine Log, Ga., was voted Most Valuable Player in the 1st annual Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Tournament. Brown was the unanimous choice of the coaches in the 8-team conference.

Wallace, leading Panther scorer during regular season play, amas- sed a total of 57 points in three nights as he led the Panthers to a second place berth in the tournament. From the field he hit only 44% but tossed in 19 out of 22 attempts from the freethrow line for an impressive 88%.

Also on the boards Brown showed superb form, leading the Panthers again, by cleaning the boards SO times in three games.

This is Wallace's first year in a Panther uniform and he has filled it well all year. He transferred from Young Harris Junior College where he was a big threat in the Lion's attack.

Wallace is one of the most ver- satile ballplayers in the conference. When Coach Hiram Reeves was forced to fill a big gap in his lineup earlier in the season, Wallace made the switch from guard to forward and finished out the season with a fine performance at that position.

During regular season competition, Wallace lead the Panthers in several departments. He poured in 393 points for an average of 18.7 and a 51.5 field goal percentage. He hit 77 out of 99 attempts from the foul line for 77.7%. He finished second in rebounding with 215 for a 10.2 average.

The top-seeded Oglethrope Pet- rels continued their stinginess on :he hardwood floor as the nation's no. 1 defense throttled the La- Grange College Panthers 44-39 in the championship game of the 1st annual G.I.A.C. tournament. The tournament was held in the new LaGrange College gym.

Two other conference foes went down before the Petrels. Coach Garland Pinholster's charges trounced West Georgia 67-28 in the opening round of the tournament on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 26. West Georgia has withdrawn from the conference after having lost every conference game during the season.

In other first round play dark- horse Shorter College's Gold Wave upset the favored Piedmont Lions 50-45. The Lion's John Ku- iken, one of the conference's top rebounder's and individual sco- rers, fouled out early in the second half and the Piedmont team, built around Kuiken, couldn't seem to cope with the loss. Val- dosta took the Berry Bluejackets 72-57, with Jerry Studdard, the conference's leading scorer, tos- sing in 23 points. Following this contest the LC Panthers outscored an upset minded North Georgia team 98-84.

In second round play on Friday night, the Shorter cagers pushed Oglethrope to the limit before going down to a 5345 defeat. Oglethrope's Jay Dye and Tommy Norwood were high point men with 19 and 17 points respectively.

Also in second round play the LC Panthers defeated a deter- mined Valdosta State Rebel team 84-73. Wallace Brown had 22 points as he lead the Panthers for the second time in two nights. Jer- ry Studdard of Valdosta set the tournament scoring record as he led the losers with 26 points.

In the consolation game on Sat- urday night, Valdosta defeated Shorter 72-67 to take home the third place trophy, the game ball. The Rebels also took home another award as they were presented the Best Sportsmanship trophy.

Tournament winner Oglethrope placed two men on the All- tournament team, Center Jay Dye and guard Tommy Norwood. Second place LaGrange placed guard Wallace Brown on the all- tourney team. Wallace was also presented the coveted "Most Val- uable Player" award as he was chosen unamousily by the coaches of the 8 conference teams. Round- ing out the "dream team" was Shorter's James Pierce and Val- dosta's Jerry Studdard.
