DIRECTOR Mrs Pauline Poplin Anderson College Choir The Anderson College Choir is unique in its setup in that it is both a class, carrying credit hours and a student organization. Made up this year of 40 singers selected early in September by audition, the Choir re- ceives intensive vocal training from the head of the voice department. During the year approximately 55 worthy choral selections are learned and performed. The Anderson College Choir as its name implies, emphasizes the best in sacred choral literature but per- forms also secular and folk selections as appropriate. Serving as president this year is Frances Hiers, as vice president, Sue Payne; as Secretary - Treasurer; Elaine Blitch; serving as the robe committee are Jan Biggers, Carroll Shands, Frances Rivers, and Barbara Dempsey; serving as Librarians are Martha Louise Alli- son, Lynda Richbourg, Mimi Livingstone, and Mary Kirby. From the Choir a Sextette is selected each year. This year the Sextette is composed of Beverly King, Sue Payne, Joyce Walters, Jo Shirley, Elaine Blitch, and Reba Hutto, and Martha Louise Allison as accom- panist. They sang for Rod Heller Day in Seneca, college chapel at Christmas time, and sang and produced Bastien by Mozart.

Anderson College Players The fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Ander- son College witnessed new heights in accomplishments for the Anderson College Players, under the direction of Professor Everett H. Vivian, chairman of the Depart- ment of Speech and Drama, and the audiences for the various productions have been impressed by the unusual talent and teamwork displayed by the members of the cast and the director. As part of its golden anniversary celebration An- derson College presented the Players in The Diary of Anne Frank, a play in two acts by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett based upon the actual diary kept by a thirteen-year-old girl who, with her parents and other Dutch Jews, hid from the Nazis in an overcrowded garret in Amsterdam, Holland, during the Second World War. This major production was given on October 20, 21, and 22, and the players performed with a German accent. Another outstanding presentation was a drama of the War Between the States, Tlie Breaking of Bread, which was staged at the college during the chapel hour on December 1.3 and again in the evening for the public. Dickson appeared as the Rebel and Brown as the Yankee in the play that brought out the human side of the soldi( r of the lS60 ' s when Southerner met Yankee in a forest. At the convention of the South Carolina Speech Association, which was held at Columbia College in tlie city of Columbia on February 24 and 2.5, 1961, Dick- son took a prominent part on the program with por- trayals of both Otto Frank and Mr. Van Daan, and he also performed in several scenes from The Breaking of Bread. Nalley and Misses Eathel Bowie and Gayle Anderson were other students attending the conven- tion, and Professor Vivian discussed the problems and technicalities of producing plays. Miss Kirby serves as president of the Anderson Col- lege Players, while other officers are Miss Livingstone as treasurer and Sydney Vivian as secretary. lum wi Pf
