Athens Ballet puts
on holiday shows
By JORDAN FEIBUS
Contributing Writer
For those of you looking for a
little diversion from your finals,
the Athens Ballet Theatre has
somehing in mind for you. To
night the company will perform
its version of ‘The Night Before
Christmas” in the Mell Audito
rium at Clark Central High
School.
The production is based on the
classic Christmas poem, “A Visit
From St. Nicholas” by Clement
Moore. The setting is the Merrick
household as the family prepares
for the big Christmas Eve party.
Soon the guests arrive and the
party is a rousing success. Af
terwards, the children are
shipped off to bed and the Mer-
ricks have their last dance, then
they too are off to bed.
As is to be expected, the chil
dren, Jonathan, Emily and Je
remy cannot sleep and scurry
back downstairs to see Santa
Claus. After waiting up awhile,
they become tired and doze off,
one by one.
Mrs. Merrick awakes to find
the beds of her children empty
then races downstairs — only to
find them asleep around the
Christmas tree. She sends them
back upstairs and the house fi
nally settles down for the eve
ning. It’s just then that Mr.
Merrick is awakened by the
sounds of jingling sleigh bells and
the clatter of hooves.
Susan Ponsoldt, who works
with the theatre group, said,
‘The group provides girls in the
community the opportunity to
perform. This is the second time
the company has done this show.
They did it five years ago and it
was very popular.”
Ponsoldt said the production
crew is primarily manned by the
families of the girls in the show.
The parents of the girls also
formed a theatre guild which
helps with many aspects of the
show, such as building sets.
Marianne Hale choreographed
and directed the production. She
is the Athens Ballet Theatre’s ar
tistic director and is responsible
for much of the work the group
does throughout the year, such as
performing at festivals and at
local nursing homes.
The shows will be tonight at 8
p.m., Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8
p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m.
Tickets will be $7 at the door or
$6 in advance at Pittypat Junc
tion in Five Points. For reserva
tions call the Athens School of
Ballet at 353-2082.
Art exhibition to
display folk murals
By MAURA CORRIGAN
Contributing Writer
The Georgia Museum of Art will
be offering Christmas treats and
hot apple cider from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m. today at an open house pre
miering its new art exhibition.
UGA professor Emeritus Lamar
Dodd will give a small talk at noon
on the development of mural
making.
The display, entitled “Murals for
the New Era,” consists of a group of
sketches from an art competition
held in the 1930s and early 1940s.
George Biddle had the idea in the
early 1930s to commision artists
who would effectively portray the
diverse American public.
The purpose of the competition
was to find the best artists to deco
rate the walls of post offices
throughout America.
The winning collection consisted
of a group that displayed the
folklore, optimism and and hopes
of progress that Roosevelt was
trying to achieve. A special section
of the government was set up to
commision the artists to paint
these murals in post offices
throughout America.
‘The competition sketches pro
vided work relief for artists during
the depression,” William Eiland,
the director of public relations for
the Georgia Museum of Art, said.
Most of the artists painted full

of

Andree Ruellan.
Eiland said the rest of the selec

giving you another tough subject to learn, Every Macintosh
computer is easy to set up and even easier to master. And
when you’ve learned one program, you're well on your
way to learning them all. That’s because thousands of
available programs all work in the same, consistent manner.
You can even share information with someone who uses a
different type of computer-thanks to Apple’s versatile
SuperDriver which reads from and writes to Macintosh,
MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple* II floppy disks.
See the new Macintash computers for yourself,
