THE
SECOND FRONT
A Review by Tom Turner
Wednesday night the Speech
and Drama department presented
a preview performance of William
Gibson's The Miracle Worker. The
compelling story about Helen Keller tells of Helen's childhood and
the sickness that left her both
blind and deaf, and continues
through the time of her lessons
Successful
"Miracle
with Annie Sullivan.
Miss Sullivan is realistically
played by Judy Frazer. Miss
Frazer does not merely appear on
stage; she adorns it. She moves
with grace in the tenderest scenes
with Helen and she stalks with
stride in the most intruding scenes
with Captain Keller.
Miss Frazer is the actress she l
appears to be, in her walk, speech
and mannerisms. She is, for two
and one-half hours, Annie Sullivan, a woman who has once
been blind, known sorrow, fear
despair, and now love through
teaching a deaf-blind girl.
Miss Frazer never falters; her
character is solid and embedded
within her person.
Miss Margaret Lunsford gives
a stunning performance of Helen,
a spoiled, untamed hellion of a
child who is brought under control by her teacher, Annie. Miss
Lunsford speaks not one verbal
line; any she can be heard as loud
as nay member of the cast, including Captain Keller.
At first appearance, she looks
like a grown-up Raggedy Ann doll
with pinafore and stockings. A
closer examination reveals her to
be a child struggling for life itself,
involved not in the fantasy world
of dolls but in the reality of
growth that will not come.
Miss Lunsford plays a very
difficult role with ease, taking
falls when they come. To withstand the emotional impact of
Helen's role lakes a great actress,
and that she is. She proves it with
every physical movement.
Trip McCord as Captain Keller
comes on slow, but ends with a
terrific impact as he establishes
an important emotional foundation of the play. As Helen's father
McCord gives a stern, masculine,
convincing performance. His manner, however, seems much too organized and stylistic, giving no
freedom to impulse. It is certainly rehearsed, but it well depicts a stiff Southern confederate
Captain.
Judy Frazer as Annie Sullivan, and Margaret Lunsford as Helen Keller in
THE MIRACLE WORKER
As Helen's mother. Miss Susan
Montgomery shows great promise
for the theatre. She is warm, gentle, and concerned, when called
for. While many of her lines
were automatic, her stage presence is emphatic and meaningful.
Miss Montgomery is an ideal Kate
Keller.
Noble Shropshire, as James
Keller, plays a misunderstood son
unable to communicate with his
father. It is interesting to view
and to be a part of the battle
that James finally wins. At the
end of the play Shropshire gets
the chance to do some real acting that makes one almost consider his role a major character.
Miss Marianne Clarkson finally gets the chance to show
LaGrange College the fine actress
she has always been.-A small role
is vividly brought to life in form
and color, as she portrays Aunt
Ev.
Mr. Wallace Staff, as Mr.
Anagnos, debutes in his first role
at LaGrange. His accent is heavy
and sometimes hard to follow
yet his appearance is that of an
elderly Greek, thin and bearded.
Miss Alfreda Burrow as Viney
adds a light touch to the play,
with a delightful characterization
of the Keller's maid.
The setting is fragmentary and
simple, effective in composition
and clarity. Credit here goes to
the designer of the play, Miss
Marilyn McKay, who has allowed
the staging to cut through time
and space as it accomodates various places. Her set is complimentary to the actors without
causing them to be its complement.
The lighting seems to be somewhat symbolic of Helen's blind-

ness. The evening scenes were
hazy, filled with shadows and
more shadows; sometimes not
allowing the privilege of viewing
the most important facial expressions of Helen and Annie. The
sunlight scenes were also filled
with three o'clock shadows mat
distracted from the effect of daylight. Some scenes are prolonged
by lighting that lingers many seconds too long.
Only when one sees the dream
sequences does one appreciate the
people working so diligently behind the scenes. Then, and rarely
then one feels a mild admiration
for the electricians.
The excellent direction("due
to a fine cast," as Miss Marilyn
McKay would state) is brought
to its height as Helen exclaims
"Wah-Wah," Annie reaches for
her hand, and Helen spells the
word "Water."
Here, for one moment, the
entire audience feels every anxiety, every hope, every dream
of Helen and Annie. Audience
and players are one, the last
words "forever and ever" are spoken, and the audience sits spellbound in a state of reverence
and meditation. Every person has
experienced the long, hard struggle, and at last it is over.
The Miracle Worker is a play
that LaGrange College will not
forget for years to come.

H.T.N. SPEAKS OUT
Homecoming
Success Up to You
The Students will on November 11 get the opportunity to again demonstrate their desire and make known
their wishes. Homecoming gives every student the opportunity to have a blast or to be bored to tears and the
outcome of the weekend is determined by the individual
student individually. This is true in regard to both the
parade and the dance.
Every student on this hill can participate in the construction of at least one float if that person will but
make himself available to any of a number of organizations to which he belongs, and everyone belongs to at
least one. Every year the builders run around frantically hunting people to help and often the answer is the
same regardless of the activity of the person asked,
"I'm too busy!" Bah humbug. Although this sounds
"corny" a parade is much more fun to watch if you
have a sense of pride and accomplishment in regard to
at least one part of that parade.
The same is true of the dance. I have already heard
the usual bemoaning students, sending up their cries
that the dance will be a failure. When one investigates,
nearly always it is found that the crier does not yet
have a date. Few students are aware of the fact that
this makes other people think that the dance will fail
and put off finding a date until the success of the dance
is assured. In a general snow balling effect this spreads
until the failure of the dance is almost assured.
Now is the time to do something about your activities during homecoming. Go to your class meetings, or
fraternity meeting, or sorority meeting or what ever;
ask some lovely thing to go to the dance with you; and
then wait and see if suddenly the weekend does not
become something that you look forward to with anticipation and pleasure.
J.C.
NOW!
Spring may seem far away
now, but for the annual staff
it is amazingly near at hand.
It is necessary for them to
know the number of subscriptions that will be sold
for the yearbook. It is also
necessary for them to have a
definite number of subscriptions sold before production
can continue at full speed.
To date there have only been
186 yearbooks sold, and for a
college the size of LaGrange,
with some 675 students, faculty, administration and staff,
this is not only "pore", but
plain ridiculous. It is not only
the duty of the students that
have not subscribed to get
on the ball and do so before
it's too late, but it is also
the duty of the 186 to help
publicize this book and help
the staff by getting on the
back of the others, about
paying for their copy.
Before long it will be impossible for those who.Jiave
not availed themselves of the
yearbook, to come in out of
the rain. As in the past the
students can look forward to
an exceptional yearbook that
will be a permanaht record
of the events of the past
year, both in pictures and
words. We can look forward
to an issue filled with color
pictures of beauties, events,
and activities. As this quarter
draws to a close, make sure
that your annual is reserved
and paid for, since in the
spring when the Quadrangles
are distributed, only those
that have ordered now will
be able to go home for the
summer with a record that
they can show with pride
♦heiryear'saetivities^^^^^
It is a real honor to attend a college of the caliber and
distinction of LaGrange. There is at the corner of Broad
and Oreon Streets a large metal marker that reveals to
the world the history of this school. It is my understanding that in the near future there will be added another of these historical markers. This one will not be
concerned with the fact that this is an old school but
rather will record the historical events of the immediate
past.
In the 1940's there was written a book that LC has
adopted as its guide book. The book by George Orwell
shook the world when it said in 1984 that big brother
would be watching you. But I wonder the reaction of
the conscious world when it realizes that there is a big
brother on the LaGrange campus. This brother does not
need the elaborate equipment of the Orwell account for
it has replaced this expensive and illegal equipment with
termites and worms.
The termites can come put of the wood work upon
the mention of certain phrases but can endure the light
only long enough to see who made such inflammatory
remarks as "county," "line," and "let's go." And then
they return to the wood, working their way through
the dark passage ways to the reporting room where
this information is collected and transmitted to the proper authorities. And then there are the worms that can
go where the termites dare not tread. Listening, watching and reporting, they never have to leave the dark
privacy of the red clay tunnels.

LaGrange is
Still Growing
LaGrange College has reached the somewhat lofty age of
137 years. But in reality if is
still a growing child.
Since 1957 it has neariy
doubled in size, from 300 to
nearly 600 students and from
seven to fourteen buildings.
In the next ten years it will
nearly double once again. At
the end of that time the entire
campus will be almost unrecognizable as the LaGrange College we know today.
There will be new classroom
buildings, dormitories, and other buildings will be erected.
Dobbs and Hawkes will be torn
down. Smith and Quillian will
be altered, and a swimming
pool will be added to the gym.
What will be the effects of
this long-range development?
Already mentioned was the
alteration in the campus' phy sical appearance. But changes
will go much deeper than that.
Obviously, die added space
will allow the total enrollment
to rise. It will permit certain
departments to expand-for instance, the science department
and the speech and drama department. But the most far
reaching change will be the
overall effect, the development
of a much greater number of
"select" students, perhaps on
even higher academic level, but
in accordance with LaGrange
College's tradition of quality
education.

Goblins Win Twice;
Take Second Place
By Buddy Sullivan
Sports Editor
Sports Editor
The absence of a school newspaper this year has
raised several questions from various sources as to how
our intramural football teams are going to get their
publicity.
I must confess that I wondered the same thing. But
now we have a paper, and to use a time-worn adage,
"better late than never."
Therefore it seems altogether fitting and proper to
devote the space of this writer's first column to a review
of the football season to date, citing praise to certain
individuals who have done something to deserve it.
The way things started off, it seemed as if there
would only be a two-team race for the title this year.
Pi Delt and Gamma Phi opened with a pair of lop-sided
victories with their oppenents looking anything but
contenders.
Pi Delt completely routed the Independents in this
year's first game, 47-0, as the Indies got a baptism of
fire not soon to be forgotten. Pi Delt's offensive attack
was nearly flawless for so early in the season as the
Delts scored almost at will throughout the game. Probably the biggest factor here was the pass and catch combination of Steve Gamble to Curtis McBee. Jackie
Hinton did his share of the damage also while Bill
Hardy, Gene Frame, Mike Zimmerman, Tom Conway
and Blake Clark all turned in fine jobs of blocking and
tackling.
In the next game. Gamma Phi ran over Sigma Nu by
a 39-0 count and the story here was much the same as
that of the previous game. James Browning threw and
Dick Lacher, Robin Foley, John Watson, and Joe Freeman caught and this pretty much sums the outcome of
the game.
So the pattern of the season seemed to be set, but
in the next two games everything had to go out the
window. It took a field goal by Foley and a late-game
safety for Gamma Phi to ease past a fired-up Independent team, 5-0. The Indies were fired from the start,
as the Gamma Phi offense sputtered along throughout
the contest without putting together a single sustained
drive. The Goblins did have a couple of near misses.
A long pass to Foley was called back on a penalty as
was a fine return of a punt by Foley.
For the Independents, the quarter backing of Fred
Von Zonneveld was a highlight as was the line work of
Phil Wilson and Pete Wodraska. For Gamma Phi, Pat
McRae, and Bill Blake turned in outstanding jobs on
defense, both making numerous tackles.
In the other surprising game, Sigma Nu's never-saydie Knights held Pi Delt to a close 13-7 decision. In the
end, it was the superior passing of the Delts that
decided the outcome, but the antics of Sigma Nu's
Mike Timmons kept things interesting for most of the
game.
Two days later. Pi Delt and Gamma Phi met head-on
in a test of the unbeatens to decide the league lead. And
the Delts came up with a long play and a pass interception to cope a 13-0 victory to keep it's record clean.
Steve Gamble hit Jackie Hinton with a long pass to
account for the Delt's first score in the first half. Then
Curtis McBee came back with a big interception to
post the second TD to put the game out of reach for
Gamma Phi. Other than that, neither team could muster
much of an offensive threat, as defense was the order
of the day. It was by far the hardest fought game of the
year on the part of both teams, but there were very
few penalties.
The Independents have now proved they are a team
to be reckoned with, coming up with two outstanding
performances against Pi Delt and Sigma Nu.
The Indies were relatively easy winners over Sigma
Nu, 25-0. in a game in which the Indie offense jelled for
the' first time this year. The Indies also exhibited an
alert pass defense with Bill McGough, Ralph Sims and
Randy Roy all accounting for interceptions in the last
two games. Offensive standouts were Fred Von Zonneveld, Lloyd Berry, George Dye, Van Younginer and
Scott Gordy. The game between Pi Delt and the Independents is covered elsewhere in this issue.

Pi Delta Kappa rolled up
the most one-sided victory
of the year Tuesday, smashing Sigma Nu, 54-7. The
point total represents the
most ever scored by an intramural football team.
The Delt's offense, setting
points at a record pace, rolled
unhampered throughtout the
contest. Steve Gamble, Curtis
McBee, Jackie Hinton, and
Bill Hardy all had a hand in
the scoring.
Lacher found Foley for 25
yards and the first Goblin score
early in the game. Foley booted the PAT for a 7-0 Gamma
Phi advantage. Late in the half,
Lacher flipped a" short pass to
John Watson who side-stepped
down the sidelines for the second touchdown. The play covered 14 yards. Foley's kick
was blocked.
In the second half, Lacher
found Pat McRae for twenty
yards and a touchdown on the
"McTureous Special" to increase the lead to 19-0.
