Chorus Tour

Begins During

Spring Break BY TIM ADAMS

When thirty voices come to- gether under the direction of Mr. Paul Doster, there's bound to be a delightful experience. On Tuesday, March 29 the LC chorale will begin a tour to many high schools and Metho- dist churches to entertain a va- riety of audiences.

The program will consist of soloists Jimmy Smith, who will sing "Libera Me" from Faure's REQUIEM, Rebecca Polk, Dottie Flanders, June Johnson, and Rosemary Neely. Also on the pro- gram will be Schubert's simple, but ingenious composition, "Mass in F."

The chorus will also feature popular music, show tunes, and folk songs.

Included on the program will be a girl's ensemble consisting of Beth Barfield, June Johnson, Susan Butler, Mary Yarbrough, Mary Propst, Kathie Rhodes and Carol Clyburn, under the direc- tion of Susan Butler.

The tour begins in Columbus on March 29, and will terminate Friday, April 1, on the tele- vised "Today in Georgia" pro- gram on Channel 2 (WSB-TV) in Atlanta.

College" in recent campus-wide balloting.

Quadrangle Editor Linda Long announced election results Mon- day afternoon and said Miss Welch and Corless, along with eight other outstanding seniors and two representative freshmen, will be featured in the "senior superlative" section of the 1966 yearbook.

Also elected as superlatives

are Janet Mabry and the fol- lowing men: Gary Brown, John Carter, David Corless, Victor Fortenberry Jr., Jackie Hinton, Ted Hitchcock, and Mike McAfee.

Elected as "most representa- tive freshmen" were Jane Jen- kins and Bill Spell.

The superlative election was held on Thursday with the run- off on Monday.

Panthers Break

Cage Title Jinx Take Tourney,

A/I-Sfar Honors LaGrange College's senior-

dominated basketball team finish- ed the 1965-66 season Saturday night in a blaze of glory.

The Panthers defeated Bir- mingham-Southern, 107-92, to win the championship of the Hunting- don Invitational Tournament in Montgomery, Ala.

And not only did Coach Al Mariotti's cagers overcome a tournament jinx for top team hon- ors, but Hugh Corless was award- ed the "most valuable player" award. He and teammates Glenn Jord and Joe Phillips dominated the meet's five-man all-star team.

The victory in the season fin- ale made this year's Panthers the "winningest" team in La- Grange's 12-year basketball his- tory. The Mariotti-men won 17-. more than any other team--while losing 12.

Percentage wise, the '65.'66 team won 59.3 per cent of its games, the second highest in school history.

Saturday's 107 point total in the championship game was the most points scored by an LC ag- gregation in seven years and the third highest total ever.

The combined total of 199 points

Harpist Dreams Of Met Debut BY KAY HICKS

Regina Watson is one of the most musically talented stu- dents at LaGrange. Her dreams and ambitions are music.

Regie comes from a musical amily. Her father is a music teacher at Fort Benning, near her home town of Columbus. She went to Columbus High School where she played in the Blue Devil Band, a group that often plays at the Orange Bowl in Miami.

Regie continued her interest in band by playing the flute in the L.C. band when she came to La- Grange in the fall of 1965.

However, Regie's greatest love is for the harp, which she has been playing for several years. This week she is playing in the orchestra of Opera Atlanta. Recently, she played in the Birmingham Symphony Orches- tra and she has played in the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.

Regie's greatest ambitions are to play in the National Symphony Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera.

Naturally, she loves Classical music and opera. She has "the most fabulous collection of clas- sical records."

Regie is a member of the LaGrange College Chorus and the MENC. She "plays a lamp,"

reports her roommate. "Her father made a small harp in the shape of a lamp. She can actual-

When Regie gets a little time away from her music, she en- joys her second favorite past- time, horseback riding.

by the two Panthers teams Satur- day also set a new LC record, wip- ing out the old record of 194, set in 1959. In that game LaGrange de- feated Valdosta State, 101-93.

In winning the tourney crown, the Panthers had to defeat both seeded teams, Huntingdon and Birmingham-Southern. Both teams had byes in the first round during which LaGrange defeated Milsaps of Jackson, Miss., 96- 72.

Every LC squad member scor- ed in Thursday night's contest and four players were in double fig- ures. Hugh Corless had 23; Joe Phillips 18; Glenn Lord, 16; and Ronnie Myers, 14.

The Panthers hit 55 percent of their field goals attempts to lead all the way. The widest mar- gin of the game saw LaGrange in front by an 82-51 margin with eight minutes to play.

The most exciting game of the tournament was the Friday night contest between LaGrange and host team Huntingdon. The Panthers won the spine-tingler, 79-77, in double overtime with Hugh Corless scoring twice from the field in the second over, time.

The Mariotti-men led 41-38 at halftime, but the Hawks, who had won their own tournament three out of five times, came roaring back to knot the score, 75-all, at the end of regulation time.

There was no scoring in the first overtime although both

Letters

February 22,1966 Dear Editor:

Some of the girls in Hawkes feel the same way about these undersexed boys who plague our campus swining their hips and talking in dulcet tones. We're tired of the ones who shy in the corner at a dance--afraid or too dumb to ask a girl for a dance. (It might surprise you other- wise masculine guys to learn that it cools our interest in you pretty fast when you stand around with those of your own sex- it does make us wonder.)

Obviously we girls can't ask guys for a date, therefore when they even walk you to class it's a real compliment.

The girls in Hawkes worship masculine men. Take it from the girls here -- a guy gets on the blacklist pretty soon of he doesn't show an interest in some girl. Come on guys, put away your paper playboy cutouts and try talking to the real thing and we won't have to love stuffed ani- mals anymore.

The Girls in Hawkes.

In The World Of Entertainment

BY ALICE TURNER "Moment to Moment" has

everything a movie can hope for -■ stars, top direction, great music. The only thing missing is a good story. The idea is so old it has taken on the air of a soap opera. Yet, the film will do well at the box offices because nothing sells quite as well as a super lover story.

It has an international cast in- cluding American bory French star Jean Seberg, and England's Honor Blackman and Sean Garri- son. It's directed by Mervyn Le- Roy, who directed such hits as "No Time For Sergeants," "Gy- psy," "Mary Mary" and "Mis- ter Roberts." Perhaps the best thing about the movie is Henry Mancini's music. It's very Jazzy.

'Sergeants' Is Huge Success,

Chip Fortenberry Stuns House BY LARRY KINSMAN

The LaGrange College audit- orium bulged as record-breaking crowds witnessed a sterling re- enactment of Ira Levin's smash hit, "No Time for Sergeants," the superb direction of Dr. Max Estes. His efforts enabled this production to be numbered with the many previous successes he has achieved.

The technical direction of Miss Marilyn McKay was flawless, lea- ving nothing to be desired, as props, lighting, sound and cos- tuming all contributed to the over, whelming success.

Chip Fortenberry, as Will Stockdale, stunned the packed house with an astonishing per- formance of a difficult role which surpassed every expectation. He portrayed with exactness the ig- norant, though sincere, soldier whose devotion to his fellow sol- dier and superior officer caused more disruption than the fiercest enemy. He was most convincing and held the audience spellbound throughout the play.

Tom Castona became Sergeant King from the first word, and deserves great commendation for his natural talent to personify the nervous, jittery, and easily- excitable officer. He became completely involved in the role and exemplified with great skill an amazing capacity for acting.

John Old made his college debut on the stage with a performance that was truly magnificent as he captivated the heart and mind of the audience. Only the highest praise can be accorded such a

perfect execution of the brief but important role.

Nobl. Shropshire continued to perform with the natural ability he has cultivated as he filled the boots of General Bush to per- fection, and flawlessly depicted a career-conscious man who me- ticulously manipulated his forces claiming fame and sharing blame for everything that was done.

Trip McCord, as General Pol- lard, can likewise add to his many achievements with his sti. mulating portrayal of theoversizi underpraised leader of the land forces. His dual concern for both Operation Prometheus and the "idiots in the plane" was well- handled and well expressed.

Jerry Wynens did an excellent job in the role of Ben Whitledge, whose sole wish was to join the

infantry in the footsteps of his brothers. Jerry needed no more than his natural resources to ful- fill the part, and he used them all.

Knights Down Strong Delts

March 1, 1966

Golf Added To Spring Sports List

The gallant Black Knights of Sigma Nu humbled the powerful Golden Five of Pi Delt with a crushing defeat in a lightning fast second half that saw both teams threaten to burst open a gap to certain victory.

Sigma_Nu withstood the brunt of the Pi Delt defense well enough to hand them the second defeat of three encounters. The absence of the services of Mike McAfee did not affect the accuracy of Larry Smith, the jumping of Winn Henderson, or the capable man. euvers of both Larry Shumake and Bill Spell.

However, the Pi Delts were not idle as Jackie Hinton and Larry Goodman penetrated a generous defense for 27 points. The first half saw a slow band of knights struggle to keep up with

an equally sluggish but threaten, ing group of Delts. But the sharp-shooting of_the Sigma Nus managed to eke out a 26-23 lead at halt time, over well.trained opponents.

The second half opened with a smashing offensive drive that quickly put Pi Delt ahead 29-28 but the dauntless Knights were consistent as Snuffy continued to pop points in, with the capable help of Shumake and Henderson. Hinton and Goodman kept their attack in progress despite a week offense that allowed Sigma Nu to see-saw back into the lead. With- out warning, the Knights took ad. vantage and swarmed all over the court snatching any available op- portunity to score and lead an astonished Pi Delt five by 11 Points.

The thrilled fans of Sigma Nu screamed for an upset but were quickly set back as Pi Delt rallied from the defecit in the last three minutes. Sigma Nu wouldn't buckle and still led by 3 points with eight seconds. Pi Delt could still pull it out with good shooting, but foul shots by the Knights kept the game out of reach as the Golden Delts fell to a 54-49 defeat.

Scoring for the Knights: Larry Smith 17, Larry Shumake 10, Bill Spell and Winn Henderson, 9 each, Mike Timmons 5, Gary Alford 4. Scoring for Pi Delt:

teams missed shots. Corless' two baskets to one by Huntingdon iced the semi-final win for LaGrange.

Again the Panthers were hot from the field with 52 per cent. Scoring in double figures were Hugh Corless with 22 points; Lord with 21, Phillips with 16, and David Corless with 13.

The Panthers' three all- star players each scored 25 or more points in Saturday's championship game with Phillips showing promise for

next year with 27 points. Hugh Corless had 26, and Lord 25, and Ronnie Myers was also in double figure with 14.

The Panthers hit an amaz- ing 55.3 per cent of their field goal attempts and 83.3 per cent of their free throws in the high- scoring affair.

Phillips was the leading re- bounder in all three of the Pan- thers, tournament games, pulling down 17 against Milisaps, 14 against Huntingdon, and 18 against Birmingham-Southern.

Golf will be added to the col- lege's list of i n t e rcollegiate spring sports which unclude track and tennis, according to Mr. Ro- nald Luke, head of the physical

education department. Mr. Luke met Monday with a

group of men interested in par- ticipating in the spring sports. He has requested that all poten-

tial team candidates see him im- mediately, if they did not attend Monday's meeting.

Schedules for the three spring sports will be announced in the near future, Mr. Luke said.
