graduated from Athens High
School and attended the Univer

From My
Potpourri’ Jar
Many in Athens have pleasant
memories of the late Mr. and Mrs.
W. P. Briggs. Their children, Miss
Alice Keene and Henry, (both
married) live in Florida, and from
Coral Gables comes a delightful bit
of family news from Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Briggs. Their lovely little
daughter, Dorothy Ann, is a regu
lar attendant at both day and Sun
day Schools and enjoys her work.
Though very young, she has the
happy trait of remembering all
about her lessons and relates all
she has learned to her parents.
When she goes to Sunday School
she aceepts only 35 cents from her
daddy, telling him not to give her
a dollar for “they’d take that, too
—everytime.” When she returned
from the church one day her
mother asked the usual questions
about the lesson, and what she had |
been told. “About them tacking
Jesus to the Red Cross” she an
swered.
g N
“Isn’t this a nice place—so quiet,.
well ordered and arranged. It is
indeed a pleasure to come in for
a few minutes,” said one person|
to another at the Regional Libra
ry on the corner of Hancock and |
College Avenues. * |
Everyone will echo that remark.
The serene dignity of the new-old
place itself appeals; the unfailing
kindness, patience, and gracious
ness of the ladies in charge in-l
creases one’s feeling of welcome.
The spaeious rooms, restful in
furnishings, the placing of book
shelves and tables and chairs
breathe an atmosphere of friendli
ness and helpfulness. More and
more people are finding this libra
ry useful, attractive and necessary.
This book-house and its place in
Athens is the proud justification
of the faith of those responsible
for its establishment. And because
books are such a wonderful es
cape from everyday cares and '
problems—an increasing number |
take advantage of this safe refuge. i
.On the street, yet amazingly free
from noise, it stands free to all i
who wish to spend a minute or |
many in reading, studying, visiting, !
attending a meeting, or just brows- |
ing. . i
A gracious welcome dwells
within and about it. ~

Mrs. W. J. Mills
Speaks To
Junior Y-Teens

have that counts most,” began Mrs.
Willard J. Mills, in her talk to the
Junior Y-Teens at their meeting
Wednesday afternocn. Using Abra
ham Lincoln as an illustration,
Mrs. Mills presented the life of a
great man and one whose birthday

own inimitable way she described |
the struggles and bhardships of a
man who overcame his hardships
and rose to become the president of
the United States. He was and is
a greatly loved man who fought
fox_‘d freedom for his people, she
said.
Over sixty members were pre
sent at the meeting which was pre
sided over by Miss Carey O'Kelly.
The cabinet members met imme
diately following the adjournment
to discuss plans for the club’s en
tertainment in March.

Former Student To Star

der Rock” at Fine Arts Auditorium

soned Broadway actors, finding
the going tough on the Great White
Way, are finding a secure future
in their profession at the world
famous Barter Theatre.
At Bob Porterfield’s playhouse,
the veteran actors who have trod
many boards in seeking their parts
on Broadway can find year around
employment with the Barter com
panies. Indications are that al
most 95 percent of Equity the
actors’ union, is unemployed. With
the Barter Players, an actor can
play with one of the summer re
pertory companies and during the
winter season he can tour with one
of the three travelling groups.

season, Bob Porterfield produces
over a dozen plays. Here an ex
perienced actor has plenty of op
portunity to act in a variety of
roles; not only is he working, but
is also developing his talent in the
repertory company. While one
company is staging two plays a
week In Abingdon, another is
touring Virginia. North Carolina,
Tennessee and Kentucky on. cne
night stands, and a third is pre
senting the‘current Barter produc
tions in Luray and Middleburg
where another Barter base was
established in June, 1949,
Last summer, a veteran Broad
way star who had appeared in the
same play for 33 months left the
New York show and came to Bart
er to act during the summer sea
son, He said that although he was
getting a big salary he was tired
of playing the same role for almost
three years and that at Barter he
could play a variety of parts in the
repertory company and further
de,v&le{lop his talent and enjoy his
work.
Many members of the Barter
company met and married at
Abingdon. They have made act
ing at Barter the oldest and largest
professional company in America,
they life’s work. Last summer
there were 15 children of Barter
couples living in Abingdon. Dur
ing this current season, one of the
couples is travelling with their
young daughter and a nurse.

calling the Department of Drama,

Cliff Collier, former student in
the Department of Drama at Uni
versity of Georgia and now a
member of the world famous
Barter Theatre company travelling
through the Peach State, is fam
iliar to many Georgia theatre-go
ers.
