Art Committee Silk screen signs and printed posters, small hand bills and banners . . . all were supplied by the capable Art Committee. A heavy demand for signs for ASUU functions kept a small but vigorous committee active. Shari Steele, chairman, and Larry Shumate, associate chairman, carried the burden of the Work. The committee made progress by remodeling their workroom on the Union Building fourth Hoor. They built slanting work shelves the length of the room with storage space beneath. For increased advertisement, they constructed billboards by the annex and the music center on which signs announcing current activities were pasted. Committee: Julie Gocltes, Shari Steele, Larry Shumate, Gene Ferrin, Aaron Theclell Donna Betts and Jean Molllnet

f iii? W ei: -- mm THEATER awiii iff? l was U . . t h t With the talent and polish of the professional theater and with an extra enthusiasm, the University Theater opened its 1954-55 season. Plays and schedules were selected by the student-faculty Theater Council headed by C. Lowell Lees. Cast members included students, faculty members, and townspeople, many of whom have done plays on this stage season after season out of love of the art. Gail Plummer, theater manager, supervised ticket sales, advertisements, and ushering for the productions. Vern Adix was active as both chief set designer and actor. Members of the speech department alternated in directing the plays produced during the University Theater season. The 1954-55 season included: Three for Tonightf, November 2 to 5, My Three Angelsf' December 7 to 11, The Crucible, February 1 to 5, The Crass I-Iarpf' March 1 to 5, and Richard III, April 5 to 9. A recent addition to the season is the annual University Ballet presented May 10 to 14. Tino and Arch Heugly portray John Proctor and his wife in The Crucible. Written by Bella and Sam Spewack and directed by C. Lowell Lees, My Three Angelsv is the tale of three convicts on a penal island in French Guiana who decide to provide a merry Christmas for a shopkeeper, his wife, and daughter. With a sharpster,s plan of action, they improve the shopkeeper's business methods unorthodoxly and dispose of undesirable influences in the lives of their adopted family. f . so E L' LQ 1 .,'.' 11: 1 la 1-.::fl' lLT. fl Ewa' c'The Cruciblef, written by Arthur Miller and directed by David N. Morgan, describes the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem using historically accurate characters and plot. The servant girl of John Proctor and his wife maliciously accuses the wife of witchcraft. Her arrest and trial reveal the bigotry, narrow-sightedness, and deceit in the judicial system. The husband, instead of saving his own life, finds himself imprisoned, accused, and condemned as he tries to help his wife. The effect of 17th century symplicity was heightened in the production by special lightening effects and Puritanical stage settings-a black backdrop with a few essential props. he Hill p Wvltls I f' fp ki I.. fr'- ff y 6 Y ' V ' Egfiisif '
