Chosen by their vocal ability, EOC’s Blue and Gold singers brought many hours of pleasure both to campus inhabitants and the townspeople. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was presented and enjoyed tremendously during this year’s Yuletide season. Making outstanding performances for the EOC production were Dave Skeen, baritone; Sylvia Thompson, alto; Ardyce Garrett, pianist; Neil Wilson, director; Mrs. Jack Vedder, organist; Howard Anderson, tenor; and Patsy Hutchinson, soprano. The Christmas Oratorio was composed in 1734 during Bach’s period of service as organist and choir master at the St. Thomas School in Leipzig. The work is divided into six parts to be performed respectively on the first, second, and third days of the Festival of Christmas, on New Year’s Day, on the Sunday after this, and on the Festival of the Epiphony. Each of the six parts is a cantata, complete and independent of the other five sections, yet unmistakably linked with them in style and mood.

The Glass Menagerie Tennessee Williams’ nostalgic and moving memoir-in-play-form, “The Glass Menagerie,” has gone on from its Broadway success to a welcome in many different corners of the world. In the Eastern Oregon College version, Mike Hanford, a Sock and Buskin veteran, played Tom, the narrator. Collette Warded was Laura, the young crippled girl who is “like a piece of her own glass collection” and Mary Coffey enacted the Laurette Taylor role of Amanda, the mother, “a woman of great but confused vitality clinging frantically to another time and place.” The Sock and Buskin production featured Bob Miller, another veteran, as the “nice, ordinary young man” known as The Gentleman Caller.
