A native of Tuscaloosa, the Epps lecturer grew up in Montgomery where her father was an associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. She studied at the Margaret Booth School, a quality finishing school in Mongtomery, where Sara Haardt taught her English history. Later, as a student at Goucher College, she won a li- terary contest and her prize was a dinner date with the "Sage." Miss Mayfield's chape- rone for the date was Miss Haardt, then a teacher at Gou- cher. Seven years later. Miss Haardt and Mencken were mar- ried.

Colleges before joining the LC faculty in 1932. The Quadrangle, the col- lege yearbook, in 1961 stated in memorial to Dr. Epps that she "imparted to her students a spark which kindled into a love of literature, a love that was so much a part of her that it spark- led in her eyes and rippled in her speech . . . who was a great lady and remains an in- spiration."

LITERARY ASSOCIATE SPEAKS AT LC

A friend and biographer of H. L. Mencken and F. Scott and Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald spoke on subjects yesterday and today related to these literary giants during the first annual Jennie Lee Epps Lectures at La- Grange College on Monday and Tuesday, April 14 and 15.

Miss Sara Mayfield ofTus- caloosa, Alabama, lectured on "Mencken's Advice to Young Writers" and "The Fitzgeralds and the Revolt of Youth."

The lectures, which honor the memory of a longtime LC English professor, are scheduled in the college chapel on Mon- day at 8 p.m. and on Tuesday at 10 a.m.

Dr. Walter D. Jones, chairman of the college's De- partment of English, said the public is invited to the free lectures.

Miss Mayfield, a close friend of both Sara Haardt, Men- cken's wife, and Zelda Fitzge- rald, is the author of "The Con- stant Circle: H. L. Mencken and Friends" which was published in 1968 and attracted an unusu- ally wide and favorable press throughout the country.

A native of Tuscaloosa, the Epps lecturer grew up in Montgomery where her father was an associate justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. She studied at the Margaret Booth School, a quality finishing school in Mongtomery, where Sara Haardt taught her English history. Later, as a student at Goucher College, she won a li- terary contest and her prize was a dinner date with the "Sage."

Miss Mayfield's chape- rone for the date was Miss Haardt, then a teacher at Gou- cher. Seven years later. Miss Haardt and Mencken were mar- ried.

Her friendship with Zelda Sayre, Fitzgerald's Montgomery- born wife, is the basis for a book on the Fitzgeralds similar to that on Mencken, which Miss Mayfield iscurrently completing.

The LC lecturer, now an assistant editor of the Univer- sity of Alabama Press, has had a varied career ranging from war and diplomatic correspondent to playreader and casting di- rector for New York Plays, to inventor of a patented process to utilize cottonstalks in making a plastic.

After her study at Goucher, she studied at the Universities

of Chicago and Paris, returned to Goucher and graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors, studied for a year at University College of the University of London, and earned a master's degree at the University of Alabama.

Choralaires Return After Spring Tour

The LaGrange College Choralaires sang themselves to sea—with stops along the way for concerts.

The 33-voice choral group and two smaller musical ensem- bles left the campus Wednesday for their annual tour carried them this year to the Gulf of Mexico.

In high schools and churches in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, the Choralaires performed a variety of music from a repertoire ranging from ancient folk songs to modern "pop, " and from traditional spi- rituals to a medley of Mother Goose rhymes.

PRESIDENTS ROUNDTABLE

The Presidents Roundtable was called to order on March 31 with Dr. Henry discussing many topics with campus leaders.

He began by informing the group that 120 seniors are ex- pected to graduate this June.

A "cleanup campaign" sponsored by the C&S Bank is to take place shortly. This cam- paing took place in Savannah re- cently and involved the clean- ing up of a large area of un- sightly neighborhoods. The plan is to bring this project to La- Grange and to have the frater- nities and sororities from LC

compete against each other for cash and scholarships. More de- tails will be explained when they are available. This pro- mises to be one of the biggest aids to this community in quite a while.

The opening date of school this year will be earlier than usual due to the extra Christmas vacation. Freshmen will arrive Sept. 7 and upper classmen on Sept. 11. The end of the quarter will be when we leave for the Thanksgiving Holidays and Win- ter Quarter will begin on Janu- ary 5, 1970.

DEAN LOVE

IN

INAUGURATION

The dean of students at LaGrange College represented the school in Spartanburg, S. C. at the inauguration of Wofford College's new president. Dr. Paul Hardin, III.

Dean John R. Love Jr., himself a graduate of Wofford College, will march in the in- auguration procession and be a special guest along with several hundred institutional and profes- sional representatives.

Dr. Hardin will be the eighth president of the United Methodist men's institution. He will be inaugurated at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at Spartanburg's Memo- rial Auditorium, adjacent to the Wofford campus.

Other inaugural events in- clude a Monday evening concert by James Dick; pianist; a sym- posium on "The Role of The Li- beral Arts College in The Fu- ture," a luncheon for official delegates, a reception follow- ing the inauguration of Presi sent Hardin, and a formal ball.

Art Show Worth Seeing

An active Atlanta artist, who forsook the advertising world for painting and teaching which he found "more creative and rewarding," will be featur- ed in an exhibition which open- ed Sunday, April 12, in the La- Grange College Gallery.

Comer Jennings, an in- structor in the Atlanta School of Art, was welcomed to LaGrange at a reception Sunday from 3 to 5 p.m. in the college gallery.

Ray Shead, head of the LC Department of Art, said Jenn- ings' art is a reflection of the present age. "His works have regularly been included in the Southeast's most prestigious art shows and I am sure local and area citizens will want to.visit this showing of his latest art," he added.

The Jennings show will continue to hang on the LC cam- pus through May 9.

Jennings, who specializes in portraits and still lifes, has won several awards for his paintings. A regular exhibitor in the Southeastern, Callaway Gardens, and Hunter exhibitions, among others, he is represented in many private collections in- cluding Vincent Price and Mrs. Adam Gimble. His one-man show was featured in Atlanta's Heath Gallery Jast summer.

A native of Eufaula, Ala., Jennings was educated at Emory and Princeton Universities and was awarded for service in the United States Navy and Coast Guard. While working with the advertising firm of N. W. Ayer and Son in New York, he became interested in creative painting and enrolled in t$e Art Students League where he worked even- ings and in his off-times.

The artist moved to Atlan- ta in 1960 where he joined the McCann-Marschalk Company and continued his studies at the At-

lanta School of Art. In 1967, he resigned from the agency where he was vice president, to devote all of his time to painting and teaching.

A member of Portraits, Inc., Jennings has also studied with Edwin Dickinson and Henry Hensche.

Edward S. Shorter, direc- tor emeritus of the Columbus Museum of Arts and Crafts, Inc., said recently that Jennings' work can be termed controver- sial, yet it is sound in back- ground and expressed in pro- fessional technique which is sure of itself. This young artist can both excite and repel but one realizes that here is paint- ing to draw us to it, to force us to think and to interpret for our- selves."

Jennings is active in many civic affairs in Atlanta, having served on the Board of Trustees of the Atlanta Arts Festival, the Atlanta Arts Council, and the Atlanta Municipal Theater. He is also a member of the Young Men's Advisory Commi- ttee of the High Museum of Art, the Board of Sponsors of the At- lanta School of Art and the At- lanta Art Association.

Just Grazing

Well, it's that time again so let's get to the grass and get down to business.

First off we regret that no mention of volleyball was made in the last issue. Action on that court was dominated by the Kappa Sigs who were undefeat- ed in the two day competition. Pi Kappa Phi took second with Beta Rho showing third.

Moving now to softball. Kappa Sigma is off to a hot start winning their first two starts over the indies and Pi Kappa Phi. The opening day's action saw the Pi Kaps take

Sigma Nu 18-3 and KappB Sigma down the indies by a large mar- gin also. On Thursday Kappa Sig and Pi Kappa Pni pjt it on the line in what could be the big game of the season. The R Kaps went out from 1 to 0 in the first and held the lead through two innings. The goblins came to life then and with the help of a couple of breaks went out front to stay. The Pi Kaps put on a comeback attempt in the last two innings but to no avail as Kappa Sig's lead was too much and they came out on top 14-9. The second game pitted Sigma Nu against the independents in what will p-obably turn out to be the start of a fight for third dace. The first of five contests between the two teams saw the independents come out on top but that is not to say they will win next time. Tuesday, Ap-il 5 wj|| put Pi Kappa Pni against the indies at 4:C0 and Kappa Sigma vs. Sigma Nu Pi at 5:30. Cow

Roundtable cont. from page 1

The question of a clock for the new student center was brought up and so was a TV but the TV drew criticism due to the ratty condition that the old stu- dent center was in. The throw- ing of cigarettes on the new tile floor would permanently marr the floor and be unsightly. Until someone comes up with a good solution to this problem it looks like there won't be any TV. It looks like the one new thing we have would be better taken care of than end up like the old student center.

"Streetcar"

Entertains

All

"Throbbing alive, com- passionate, heartwarming I y human."

"More than a work of pro- mise ... an achievement of un- usual and exciting distinction."

"A remarkable we 11-con- structed, remarkably moving, and deeply compassionate dra- ma."

"A Streetcar Named De- sire" -- the drama which receiv- ed these accolades by critics John Chapman, John Mason Brown and W.P. Eaton - arives on the LaGrange College stage Thursday evening for three per- formances.

The turbulent and emotion- packed drama by Tennessee Williams was staged in Dobbs Theater on the campus also on Friday and Saturday.

Produced by the college's Speech and Drama Department, the Pulitzer prize-winning thea- trical and movie success was directed by Ernest "Butch" Miller, a senior drama student and collegiate stage veteran.

Miller has acted in more than 15 LC productions, starring in "Guys and Dolls," "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," "Tartuffe," and others. In addition, he has also acted and directed in the col- lege's summer theater program at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain.

In "Streetcar" Williams tells of the frail and fading, but once beautiful Blanche Du Bois who arrives suddenly on the doorstep of her younger sister, Stella, and Stella's lusty and boisterous husband, Stanley <owalski.

Judy Fraser, a senior of Atlanta, will be seen in the role of Blanche, the play's distraught heroine. Jessica Tandy created the role on Broadway, and it was portrayed in London and the movie version by Vivien Leigh.

On the LC stage Miss Fraser has acted in "Royal Gam- bit," "Once Upon A Mattress," and "The Miracle Worker." She has also worked with Municipal Theatre, Theatre Atlanta, and Famous Artists Inc. productions in the capitol city.

"LaGrange's Leading Department Store"

Dr. Max Estes, head of the LC drama department, in an unusual acting role, is cast as Stanley, while Kathering "Kit" Whitner, a senior of LaGrange and the reigning "Miss La- Grange College," plays Stella.

Randy Roy of Jacksonvi I le, Fla., has the role of Mitch, one of Stanley's buddies who plans, at least temporatily, to marry Blanche.

Holly Jeffery of LaGrange, Steve Segrest of Tuskegee, Ala., Frank Key of Atlanta, and Mike Ma I one of Augusta have support- ing parts in the LC production.

Others in the 11-member cast include Susan Nolan of Forest Park, Jessie Richards of Camden, S.C., David Crisp of Jacksonville, Fla., and Susan Mewborn of Hartwell.

Thomas Jeffery, assis- tant professor of speech and drama, designed the setting for "Streetcar," which represents a squalid two-room apartment in a rowdy New Orleans neighbor- hood. Lucia Carr of Jackson is stage manager and assistant di- rector of the drama.

The stage crew includes John Wilson of Shrewsbury, Mass., on sound, Jessie Mae Richards on costumes, Lucius Harwell of Cartersville on pro- perties, Ronald Bruccoliere of Delran, N.J., and Lemuel John- son of Waycross on lighting.
