THE SPELMAN SPOTLIGHT
March, 1958
(Qm£. '
Greetings,fellow toilers l Did you
cane through your exams unscathed? Any
way, if you didn’t, it is too late now.
I checked my mailbox for ’’letters to
the editor", but none were forthcoming.
I suppose you are satisfied with the wa y
things are going around here.
Speaking of letters to the editor,
Helen Kerr and I have declared a (tempo
rary) truce. That is why her letter that
she didn’t write isn’t there.
A person attending the recent YWCA
area meeting held on the campus remarked
that Spelman students lacked the ’’guts”
to stand up for what they believed. I
wanted to challe/vjo her, but I was afraid
that she would be able to point up in
stances to prove her point and that I
wouldn’t. Now, I’d like to auk youj”Are
Spelman students afraid to stand up for
what they believe and what do they believe
While we’re on the subject of Spel
man, what about a little school pride?
I know (don’t I after three years) that
everything isn’t good, in fact some things
are bad. We all know that (too well, I
think). We also know that sane things
are not so bad, in fact, they are good.
We should try to see some of the good
things as well as the bad. Of course, it
is still necessary to work for the removal
of the bad things(no comments here), but
thtere is no point in our losing our objec
tivity. We can still hold our heads up
proudly and say, "I ’m a Spelman woman S’
A-M-S PLAYERS PRESENT ” SABRINA FAIR"
by Geneva E. Evans
Mr. Cochran has done it again 1
The A-M-S Players’ performances of
■"'Sabrina Fair" Friday and Saturday even
ings in Howe Hall gave Spelman theatre
goers a rare treat.
The costuming and sets were all that
could be desired. The lighting effects
were also extremely effective.
The casting was superb. Phyllis
McKinney,as MMude Larabe^gave a convincing
portrayal of a Long Island society matron.
Maria'n Pitts handled her role as Julia,
a worldly-wise career woman. The role
was a difficult one that required a cer
tain degree of sophistication and Miss
Pitts rose admirably to the occasion.
The male a.ctors are also to be com
mended. Joseph Town as Linus Larabee, Sr.-
was effective in his portrayal of a once-
powerful man seeing his son assuming his
power. Melvin McCaw was appealing as
the younger son of Larabee. Johnnie
Popwell brought to the role of Linus, Jr.
hasculine charm that helped to make up
for his deficiencies as an actor.
Barbara P.makirr who wot only played
<Sabrina, but who was Sabrina, captured
p.n>i held the audience from the inoirant
pf her first entrance. She brought to
jthe play a spontaneity and gaiety thac is
iaot often seen on the Spelman stage.
The rest of the cast is to be commend"
: ed for its fine performance.
In closing* A toast to the ”UP 1 s I
0UT OF THE EDITOR’S INKWELL(con’t,)
Cut system, cut system, whyfore art
thou?
Orchids 1 to all of you who went to
the State Legislature. All of us are
preud of you. That’s the spirit I like
to see.
I’m really glad to see that the Snack
Shop has instituted a new system of serv
ing checks. It should make for better
pervice.
The SPOTLIGHT wishes to congratulate
Misses Marian Wright and Roslyn Pope on
receiving the grant to study abroad in

Spelmanites, why so rude in chapel?

Comment on the speaker during his or hei
ppeech.
