Summer Stock Has Double Feature Summer stock started with the lively music of Burt Bacharach in the production Promises, Promises. Kim Bronson. from the University of Southern Flo- rida, starred as Fran Kubelik, a woman entangled in an affair with the married J. D. Sheldrake, portrayed by Tim Teel. Difficulties result when the young exec- utive, Chuck Baxter, played by freshman Mark Web- ber falls for Fran ' s charms. Breaking her relationship with Sheldrake, Fran vows to Never Fall in Love Again but she eventually does fall in love with Bax- ter anyway. Co-starring with Promises, Promises in the Sum- mer stock, The Apple Tree consisted of three sepa- rate one act musicals.

Festivities Fill Summer Season Marked by pomp and pageantry, the 1976 summer school session left little time for the doldrums. In June, Miss Lambuth. Melinda Gilliland, participated in the Miss Tennessee pageant held in Jackson. Dur- ing the state-wide competiton, Lambuth played host to the contestants in the pageant by providing them with food and housing on campus. In celebration of America ' s 200th birthday, a Bicentennial Antique Auction opened 3 days of fes- tivity in Jackson. The auction, held on July 3, appro- priately took place at the log cabin exhibit on the school grounds. Among pageants, bicentennial celebrations, and studying, students still found a few moments to take advantage of the sunny days and warm weather, as participants in swimming, tennis, and other sports kept the pool and tennis courts occupied for most of the season.

Orientation Proves Successful Orientation began as usual with the freshmen arriving on campus with frightened looks masked by cries of joy. By the end of the weekend the class of 1980 had been completely oriented to the Lambuth cam- pus. On the brighter side of orientation were the social events, tours of the campus and city, a talent show, folk singing, a picnic, and the fresh- man dance. On the more serious side were advisor conferences, testing, and departmental meetings. By the time for registration the freshmer were definitely ready to become a part of the Lambuth community. 30
