Shakespeare Club Sponsors Variety of Activities It faded on the crowing of the cock. Some say that ever 'gainst that season came. Wherein Oar Savioar's birth is celebrated, Th.e bird of dawning singeth all night long, And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad, The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, No fairy takes nor witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious is the time. This speech by Marcellas to Horatio comes from Hamlet, Shakespeare's tragic story of the Prince of Denmark. Other selections from his works were portrayed at the Globe of the Great Southwest during the annual Shake- spearean Festival sponsored by the Shake- speare Club. World Poetry Day in October provided an opportunity for area residents, both, college students and non-students, to display their abilities in poetry writing. Winners of the contests were Kay Beasly and Sue Johnson in the category of sonnets on Texas. Mrs. G. B. Overczish and David Holcomb placed in the miscellaneous category. Featured in the spring was the Writer's Roundup, also sponsored by the Shakespeare Club. Ambrosia from the Gods'A' headed the agenda for World Poetry Day.
