DRHIHH GRUUP PRES Avondale's one-art play tl1is year was entitled: Theater of the Soul. It was unusual in both setting' and costumes, and judges everywhere cotnniended the cast and the director lor undertaking it. The play, directed by speech teacher Hubert Jernigan, was a fantasy by a Russian playwright, depicting' a scene inside a man who has lived a very dissipated life. All the action supposedly takes place in the split second before he shoots hinisell' after being deserted by a cafe singer with whom he is inlatuated. The play placed second in the sub-region, but later won hrst place in thc region coinpetition. At Athens, in the state drama festival, it placed third. The cast appeared on a radio interview, and the entire play was presented on television early in March. 79 ents wlniiilns PLHVW JIMMY lXlCFARl.ANl1 -IAMICSBOLANIJ , .
