THE INVITATIONAL SKATE-IN Like the wolf on the fold, several hundred skaters descended on Dutton Memorial Arena on January 19 to sample the pleasures of skating, socializing, and wolfing hot dogs and soft drinks at alarming rates. These pleasures were indulged in, in copious quantities; hot dog after hot dog was eaten to stoke that inner fire that kept propelling skaters round and round the rink. While eating and skating took up a good part of the time, socializing had the lion’s share. Gaggles of girls were pursued around the rink by young Hans Brinkers while older more staid members of society chased recalcitrant offspring or chatted with friends. The afternoon was a huge success, if success is measured in the amount of hot dogs eaten.

At the time of going to Press the 1969 school play “The Thieves’ Carnival” is at the rehearsal stage. This year, for the first time, Balmoral Hall has been invited to take part, and three of their students have major parts in our production. We hope this will lend authenticity and interest to both performers and to our audiences. The three thieves in Jean Anouilh’s comedy are played by Stewart Searle, John Hutchings and Morgan Thomas; Lord Edgar and Lady Hurf by Peter McCreath and Connie Kacharczyk; two French social climbers by Peter Dower and Hugh Thomas, and the two girls by Janet Denmark and Helen Hay. As with “A Theatre Happening” two years ago the production is in the round in the Dining Hall, and the performance of a modern comedy in this specialized theatrical form presents a real challenge to the members of the cast, and one which they are meeting well. The play is produced and directed by Mr. Glegg, and production dates are May second and third.
