IV 83rd FOUNDERS DAY CELEBRATED Story on Page 3 OUR TOWN’’ Sucessful Production When the curtain rose on “Our Town”, the stage was bare but for a few chairs. Then Aaron Favors, who played the part of the stage manager, entered and began to nar rate the story of Grover’s Corner, N. H. The audience livened, and from then on the vitality of the act ing was overwhelming. Through out the play Favors was in complete control of bis difficut role. His voice was clear changing with the action. “Our Town” is the story of child hood sweethearts, George Gibbs and Emily Webb . . .their marriage and Emily’s death. In the first act George and Emily are youngsters— going to school in day and at night talking to each other from their windows. Three years later, in the second act, they are about to be married. In the third act, nine years later, Emily has died in childbirth —and it is here that Author Wilder meshes reality with fantasy. As the plot unraveled, Maurice and Andrea Thompson revealed a deep sensitivity to their parts and captured the hearts of the audience. Maurice Thompson makes George Gibbs’ deep conflicts evident; he makes the onlookers recall their youth, their problems, their frustra tions. Gibbs is a “cool”, “sophisto- cated”, character who cares more for baseball than for friends. And Maurice Thompson, well suited to the role, strengthens the character. He deserves a special cum laude. As Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs Wayman Cranford and Marjorie Alexander gave superb support. “Editor and Mrs. Webb”, played by Nathaniel Thomas and Dorothy Hunter were well in hand. The supporting cast: Theodore Carten, Claretha McAlpin, Thirkield Cravens, Robert Johnson, Carter Lowe, Walter Mae Robinson, The odore Matthews, Elizabeth Camp bell, Simon Edwards, Charles Jack- son, and Edsel Carson were uni formly good. The choir in Act three was especially good. The smoothness of the production can be attributed to the direction of Miss Esther Jackson. Social Science Department in Negro History Observance “The Negro’s greatest contribution to America, is his mere presence”, declared Dr. Thomas D. Jarrett, Professor of Eng lish at Atlanta University, when he spoke on the Negro His tory Week Program at Clark College on February 13. Dr. Jarrett was introduced by Professor Edward F. Sweat, Ne gro History Week Chairman. Dr. Jarrett’s approach, to the sub ject of Negro history was not the traditional one. He recognized the achievements of, and contributions by individual Negroes, but his em phasis was on the collective contri bution cf the Negro to the develop ment of America. To illustrate Ills point, he posed the question; What would happen to America if 6,000,- 000 Negroes were suddenly with drawn from industry? He also al luded to the part which Negroes played, as a group, in the early eco nomic life of the country. The speaker showed how the Ne gro has served as a measuring rod and a barometer—a sort of “proving ground” in the establishment of the democratic way of life. People of other nations observe the manner in which America has absorbed and treated this minority group. Students participating on the pro gram were Rose Ward, who pre sided; Bennie Lowe, in charge of de votions, and Marjorie Alexander, soloist. i Negro History Week was conclud ed with a panel discussion on some outstanding Negro teachers Feb. 14 at ten o’clock by Clark and Morris Brown students. Clark Seniors in Joint Recital Esther Franklin, soprano, and Joseph Chambers were presented in a vocal and instrumental recital by the Music Department i n Davage Auditorium on March 2. Miss Franklin, Soprano, of Knox ville, Tennessee, has been an out standing soloist with the Clark Col lege Philharmonic for four years, giving performances which have won acclaim from number of critics. Joseph Chambers, of Gastonia, North Carolina, is a member of the Clark band. His trumpet selections were very well presented and were cordially received by the audience. Art Dept.
