One of the most challenging and satisfying undertakings available to a Millsaps student is participation in the theatrical productions staged throughout the year. Students with acting experience, togeth- er with talented newcomers, constitute the Millsaps Players. Guided by long-time director Lance Goss and with technical instruction from Brent Lefavor, student casts and crews have never failed to provide Millsaps and the community with superbly-presented performances.

The anxiously-awaited 1987 Spring Tour for members of the Millsaps Singers finally arrived on Friday, March 6, when 64 stu- dents filled one bus and a van and depart- ed Jackson on nine days of discovery. An itinerary of eight cities and a reper- toire of sacred music by Bach, Gabriel Faure, and Rachmaninoff provided the Singers with an incomparable experience unique among all Millsaps College student organizations. The stops included Atlanta, Greens- boro, Chesapeake, VA, Washington, D.C., Aberdeen, MD, Mt. Sterling, KY, Nash- ville, and Memphis. The Homecoming Concert at Galloway United Methodist Church in Jackson capped the tour. In Washington, D.C., the Singers met with Senator Thad Cochran and enjoyed an opportunity to converse with U.S. Re- presentatives Sonny Montgomery and Wayne Dowdy of Mississippi. Retired Methodist minister, the Reverend Luther Bennet of Greensboro, NC, was a member of Millsaps ' Glee Club in 1934. Singers Beverly Vignery, Gib Sims, and Bubba Cummins think that ' s pretty neat! 24
