Convocation A LITTLE LATE FOR CONVOCATION? Beware of the grill crowd leaving at intermission. The majority of students who did attend convo found the programs in- teresting or cnlertaining, or both. The Convocation Committee brought many noted personalities to the Union Building stage; included among these were Henry Hull, Frederick Prokosch, and Burr Shafer. Those who chose ttConvo in the auditor- ium to that of 6tComo in the grillh were quite pleased with their choice, as the convocation series the past year was ex- cellent in its cultural variations. ONE OF THE MANY NOTED PERSONALITIES to visit Indiana State during the past year was Miss Pert Kelton, star of the Broadway stage. During her Visit to Terre Haute, Miss Kelton was the guest of honor at a dinner given by members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of a floral arrangement of red carnations by President Jim Robertson. Pleased onlookers Gail Oldfather, Bill Lumsdon, Tom Strange, Mrs. Lucille Truehlood7 and Glenn Holpp admire her gracious acceptance. 19

In the hackground were the auto- graphs of many famous theatre peo- ple, while in left foreground appear- ed a dead giveaway t0 the fact that Norma was not always the witch she looked here. That pair of saddle 0X- fords was rather extraordinary for a witch, wouhhft you say? Sycamore Players Produced Drama THEATRE PEOPLE NOT only entertained others with their act- ing ability, they also developed many theatrical skills, among them a workingr knowledge of the art of make-up. e Bill Lyon, Margaret Owens, and Dan Payne applied make-up for their roles in Mrs. McThing.
