The Chafter
Box
By BILL BATES
Since~bur last "Gamecock" many things have taken place
to alter the course of history where "us" college students
are concerned. Pinnings and engagements top the list of
activities during the Christmas season. While weddings
would be considered more important they aren't quite as
0easy to get out of. Though marriage is a wonderful institu
tion, it can have its faults where complete freedom is con
cerned.
MOMENT'S CRY
Exams ended one semester while registration began
anofier. "Hot dog!" "By George!" and "I swear!" was
the cry of the moment as most students finished this task.
One student explained registration to be the same thing as
pulling eye teeth. Those wearing that forlorn look are the
ones of us who had the misfortune to land in the section of
one of "those" professors.
To overcome the pressure of exams students sought
various outlets. Some tried a cruise from Beaufort to Wad
malaw Island on a yacht. The Sigma Chi's that enjoyed this
brief relaxation were Charlie Way, Johnny Hagins, Bert
Pooser, Ed Martin, Doug Garvin and Johnny Stover.
RELAXATION ,
Many others tried relaxing with their close friends at
such places as the Opus, the Shadow, the Purple Onion or
the Green Lantern. Those enjoying this type of relaxation
were Robert Selman and Norma Hearne, Bill Latham and
Nancy Ariail, Jeff Goodwin and Sandra Porter, Joe Ashley
and Vee Vee Smith, Jimmy Rogers and Mary Vernon Clary
and John Langston and Margaret Rainey.
Where engagements are concerned, it appears that the
jewelry stores were running a sale on diamonds. A great
number of gentlemen seem to have been hooked by a few
sweetly smiling young ladies. Seven Kappa Delta's and
their intendeds are Kitty Wells and Ned Nicholson of the
Medical College, Ruth Trask and Critt Gore, Betsy Brown
and Robert Mamier, Mary Moore Milling and Rodney Culler
of the Medical College, Trina Whaley and Harry Sandasor,
Janie Lee Robinson and Gary Banks (SAE); Jo Ann Goff
and Thomas Adams (SAE).
ENGAGEMENTS
Some other sorority sisters and their beaus soon to
make the walk up the aisle are Chi Omega's Patsy Irick
with Ronnie Banks (SAE), Lynn Eddy with Jack Harrison,
Mollie Sasnett with Roland Hughes, Darrell Meeks with Bill
Brannon, and Billie Jean Dabney with Bill Berne (Sigma
Nu).
Among those who are about to take that fatal step is
one of our professors, Dr. Edward Nolan, who is engaged
to Margaret Stuckey. Others engaged are Phyllis Crews
and Robert Long, Carolyn Mays (ZTA) and Harold Benson,

Several of our fellow students seem to have tightened the
noose around their necks. Everyone would like to wish those
recently entered into the bonds of matrimony a long and
prosperous life together. Those married recently are Muriel
Robinson (DZ) and Pierce McCall (ATO), Ann Sims (KD)
and David Dennis, and Phyliss Markovitsch of St. Louis,

TOWN THEATRE
Moniqu
Subtle, .
By Staff Writer
The cast of the clutching ter
ror and suspense play "Monique,"
presented at the Town Theatre
under the direction of Louis In
gram, brought to theater-goers
the oiled and integrated effect of
a rare bit of character study as
the subtle, unusual plot unfolded
to a startling, yet climactic end
ing.
This psychological mystery by
Dorothy and Michael Blankfort,
bearing a -close resemblance to
the French film "Diabolique,"
portrayed an exploration by the
principals into the realms of the
mind as well as the more worldly
elements of adultery and murder.
Fantasy World
Paul Dreher, portraying the
tortured husband, Fernand, who,
living in a world of fantasy
could not reconcile himself to the
responsibilities of adulthood, was
only concerned with leading a
life of imagined peace and seren
ity, to be achieved through the
planned demise of his haughty,
shrewish wife, played by Helen
Mendel.
His groping search for peace of
mind leads the scared Fernand
to his doom at the hands of the
cunning Monique and her willing
accomplice. The development of
the character of Fernand was a

credit to Paul's acting ability.
Ann Drake
To those who saw the perform
ance, Ann Drake's portrayal of
Monique as the conspirator-brain
behind the whole plot brought the
desired reaction from the audi
ence-that of respect, yet dislike,
for her cold calculating schemes.
The terms of endearment she
used in speaking with Fernand
as if she were talking to a stone,
not the man she loved-and her
cool, methodical planning of a
fake murder builds the character
of an unemotional doctor bent on
results which are truly selfish.
Ot4er Performances
Jim Quick's performance of the
drunken gardener, Gouttez, is, as
always, supurb and adds a light
touch to the drama.
Helen Mendel, as the overbear
ing wife, gave a convincing per
formance as did Linda Bergman
in the part of Lisette, the love
struck teenager. Josephine Brad
ford played the minor part of
Henrietta the maid very capably.
Technical Credits
Weird, authentic sound effects,
Chris Thee's professional quality
sets, and Joe Winter's lighting all
contributed greatly to the enjoy
ment and suspense of the vehicle.
