CLASSIC COMBINATION—Sophmopolitan opera and Ballet Company presents a laugh-filled and winning "Carmen at Swan Pond (Lake).'*

Sophs Win Night "Carmen at Swan Pond" was

presented by the sophomore class on stunt night, Friday night. This won them the tro- phy that they as freshmen won last year.

Noble Shropshire and Trip McCord were largely respon- sible for the mock ballet. It became more interesting with characters like The Black Swan played by Clay Calhoun, Glenn "Batman" Alterman, Glenn "Batman" Alterman. Pink Swan Harriet Lane and

Carol Lewis To Speak Of

New Mission BY MARY PROPST

"The Church has a new mis- sion for society, and we must realize as we change that its message can no longer be con- tained in traditional molds." Such is the view of the Rev. Carol R. Lewis who will ad- dress assembly Wednesday.

Mr. Lewis, minister of edu- cation at First Methodist Church, Anniston, Ala., ma- jored in sociology at Southern Methodist University before do- ing graduate work at Vander- bilt School of Theology inNash- ville, Tenn.

He has served on many na- tional committees including the Board of Standards-.a board which sets requirements for certification of Directors of Christian Education in The Me- thodist Church.

Since his arrival in Annis- ton, Mr. Lewis has made a vital contribution to the life of that community. He is present- ly a member of the Steering Committee of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. His ministry has been centered lar- gely around young people. Out- side his local church he has organized many programs for youth of low socio • economic backgrounds.

Before coming to Anniston Mr. Lewis held educational po- sitions with First Methodist Church, Cullman, Ala., and Cen- tral MethodistChurch,Decatur, Ala.

Mr. Lewis is married and has two daughters.

Carmen "Rose" Neely, the "Spirit of Good played by Joy- ce Young.

The freshmen contribution was a reading of "The Fly" a narration about a man getting bit by a fly. This was done in the mist of activity on stage such as a fly swatter chasing a fly, a ballet dancer, pillow fighter, a gum chewing hairteaser, an "Alfalfa" style prankster, a cleaning women, freshmen- can-can and ballet dancers sing- ing the rat song, and a begging guitar minstreL

Other contributions to the affair were, "Night in Count" a take-off on the faculty pre- sented by the seniors.

BY JOHN WHITE The LaGrange "Affirmation:

Viet Nam" movement went into full swing last week beginning on the LaGrange College cam- pus. The LC part of the state- wide effort, headed by student government president Ted Hit- chcock, began with a poll of the college's students. Hitch- cock said that complete re- sults of the poll will not be available until later in the week.

Ed Stephens, one of the 30 original planners of "Affirma- tion Viet Nam", said that fol- lowing the poll of LC students LaGrange High and Troup High School students were polled and Saturday the entire city of La- Grange was polled.

Stephens said the poll gave students and citizens an oppor- tunity to register feelings of support or non- support for the United States' commitment to Viet Nam.

"Affirmation Viet Nam," a student movement, began at E mory University and spread to every college in the state, according to the group's state leaders.

Seven Georgia congressmen have spoken out in favor of the movement. While praising "Af- firmation Viet Nam'' they joint- ly announced that Secretary of State Dean Rusk will speak be- fore an assembly in Atlanta Stadium Feb. 12.

Student Of The Week'

Tommy Shoaf Typical LC'er BY CASSIE HERNDON

Walker Thomas Shoaf, III has many qualities that make him a typical LC student.

Among other things, he goes to classes, eats meals in the dining hall, and must attend assembly.

He is a member of Gamma Phi Alpha fraternity, and the Circle K service club.

A senior who transferred from Emory winter quarter, 1964, Tommy is majoring in pre-medical studies, and hopes to go to medical school this fall.

One attribute that sets him off from many LC'ers is his continuous Dean's List average since coming to LaGrange.

Tommy recently became en- gaged to Linda Bryant, from his hometown of Gainesville, Ga., and plans to marry her in Au- gust.

LIKE EVERYONE else on cam- pus, Tommy Shoaf just can't stay away from the Student Center and those O.T. books.

In kicking off the LaGrange effort last week, Hitchcock ex- plained the campaign's pur- pose at LC's weekly assembly program. The Troup County Commissioners at their re- gular meeting last week adopt- ed a resolution commending the college's student body for its stand supporting "Affirmation Viet Nam." Friday LaGrange Mayor Gardner Newman offi- cially began the poll of the city by signing the poll.

Orr Speaks To Assembly

BY TIM ADAMS In last Wednesday's chapel

program, Mr. J. Herbert Orr told of his first experience with magnetic recording tope, with magnetic recording tape.

During WW n, Mr. Orr was transferred to Psychological Warfare. His first assignment was to "rehabilitate" the Ger- man Broadcasting Service in Luxemburg. They didn't use records, and their government manufactured a magnetic tape for recording purposes.

The manufacturing plants for the tape were destroyed, so Mr. Orr and his associates were left with old used tapes. After experimenting they found they could erase tapes and use them again.

On one occasion, Mr. Orr and this team were interpreting one f Eisenhowers' speeches to the French. In the middle of the speech Hitler began talk- ing, because the tape wasn't completely erased. Headquar. ters didn't like this very much and told them to use new tapes.

Since there weren't any new tapes, the team had to produce them. This is when Mr. Orr met Doctors Von Bromen and Plaumer who taught them the production method.

Mr. Orr brought the idea to America, had it patented, and started a new revotution in elec- tronics. He eventually sold the patent after it had made a small fortune.

snapes ana design with more or., less dull tones of color.

An outstanding piece in the exhibit was Ann Seward'sprint. By the use of line (one might say almost contour line) Miss Seward wove a story of in- terest, belief, and retrospect.

There is a discerning old lady who sits motionless in the middle of the exhibition hall. As you peer down at the brass plaque, you find yourself saying, "Pardon me, Madame." How- ever, you needn't, for "Ma- dame" is a very puzzling piece of pop-art by Robert Gibson.

Another somewhat thought- provoking sculpture is James Clover's "Big Bird." The bird if you should care to call it that, has a countenance like a cross between Charles Lind-

berg, Charlie Leghorn, andEli- zabeth Taylor.

The exhibit will continue through Saturday, January 29.

Fifteen Student Teachers Reach Educational Climax

Fifteen LaGrange College seniors planning for careers in education are engaged this quarter in student teaching -- the climax of their collegiate preparation for the profession.

The men and women will work approximately eight weeks under the direction of ex- perienced and certified tea- chers in LaGrange and Atlanta. Gradually, they will take on more and more teaching respon- sibilities.

The student teaching pro- gram is under the direction of experienced and certified tea- chers in LaGrange and Atlanta. Gradually, they will take on more and more teaching res- ponsibilities.

The student teaching pro- gram is under the direction of Dr. W . M. Shackelford, pro- fessor of education and chair- man of the college's Education Division. He is also co-ordi- nator of the program in secondary education.

Dr. Jessie P. Gough , asso- ciate professor of education, is co-ordinator of the elementary ducation program.

As he announced the students' teaching assignments for this quarter, Dr. Shackelford said, "A highlight of the professional education of teachers is the opportunity of working with ex- perienced teachers."

Only seniors may participate in the student teaching program, Dr. Shackelford explained. It follows various courses in edu- cational philosophy, psychology and methods.

The future teachers also have completed either a major in their secondary teaching field or in elementary education be- fore entering the student

teaching quarter A major in elementary edu-

cation was established here in 1962. The previous trend to- ward more secondary educa- tion students has been revers- ed, Dr. Shackelford said. "The number of graduates in elemen- tary education now comes clos- er to meeting exisiting needs."

Three LC music education majors are doing their stu- dent teaching in Atlanta. The students, their hometowns, and supervisiing teachers are Sandray Burgess of LaGrange, Mrs. Juliette Adams at Beecher Hills and Continental Colony Elementary Schools; Jacquelyn Reaves of Atlanta, Mack Burns at East Atlanta High School; and Judy Robert- son of LaGrange, Mrs. Char- lotte Ward at East Lake and Burgess Elementary Schools.

Other student teachers this quarter are in the LaGrange public schools.

Students assigned to La- Grange HighSchool, their home- towns, major, and supervising teachers, are Chris Corley of Calhoun, English, MissBernice Legg; Jackie Hinton of Colum- bus, social science, Gerald Chastain; Janet Mabry of Bre- men, social science, James H. Fulford; Joe Nalley of Gaines- ville, health and physical edu- cation, Coach Oliver Hunnicutt; and Ellen Stewart of LaGrange, general science, Miss Elise Sherrill.

Assigned to be a student tea- cher at West Side Junior High School is Patricia Welch of Forest Park, English, Miss Margaret Hall.

LaughsF ill Spy Film

BY ALICE TURNER Although it's a low-budget

film without big-name stars, "The Second Best Secret A- g'ent in the Whole Wide World" has revamped some of the bet- ter scenes from James Bond and those other British-made spy films to turn this movie into one long, continuous guffaw.

Charles Vine, played by Tom Adams, is the Second Best Agent who attempts to entertain - so- cially that is-better than "the higher priced agent." He tries awfully hard! Charlie doesn't have the rugged good looks of Sean Connery, but there's de- finitely smething about him that women like?!.

The Plot? Oh, it really doesn't matter! The British secret agent seeks a set of blue-prints pos- sessed by a Swedish scientist. The Communists, of course, want them also and herein lies the conflict • a couple of ex- tremely attractive girls used effectively in the Bond style.

If you're a spy film buff, "Agent" packs ninty ■ six minutes of first - rate enter- tainment. It's a must!

Panthers Face Berry And Huntingdon

BY T. J. THOMPSON The Panthers face three stern

tests in upcoming games.

Wednesday night the Panthers play what probably will be one of the most important games of the season against the Vikings of Berry College.

Berry will indeed be a tough foe. The Vikings are undefeat- ed in the conference, and have defeated the perennial power- house Shorter by a score of 56- 48.

Last year the Panthers and Vikings split two games.

Revenge will be the key word as the Panthers travel to Ala-

Independents,

Take Volleyball After two attempts to break

the three-way tie for first place in the Volleyball Red Division, the Independents came out on top last Tuesday night.

In the first game Kappa Phi Delta beat Alpha Phi Beta 13-11; in the second game the Inde- pendents won over Alpha Phi Beta 12-5; and in the third game the Independents be at Kap- pa Phi Delta 10-8.

The final standings at sea- son's end: Red Division 1st. Independents 2nd Kappa Phi Delta 3rd Alpha Phi Beta 4th. Alpha Kappa Theta Black Division 1st Kappa Phi Delta 2nd alpha Kappa Theta 3rd. Alpha Phi Beta 4th Independents

bama College Saturday night and to HuntingdonMonday night.

The Panthers will certainly be out to avenge a 64-50 open- ing season loss to the boys of Alabama College, and certainly Huntingdon will be ready to avenge a 76-74 loss to the Panthers earlier in the season.

Myers and Glenn Lord, shot out to a big early lead, and re- tired to the dressing room at the half holding a 44 to 27 lead.

However, with six minutes left in the game the momentum shifted to the determined Braves. Led by the shooting of John Christopher and Jim Jack- son, and a tight desperation zone press, the Panther lead was whittled to 3 points, but the Braves could get no closer as the Panthers held on to gain a 76-73 conference victory.

Junior center Joe Phillips scored a Panther season high by flipping in 30 points against the Braves. Phillips also pull- ed down 16 rebounds to help maintain his conference lead in this department.
