Sit Back, Enjoy 'Life With Father A Revie* BY CHARLOTTE REED “Be FIRM’. This is the motto of Father, undisputed king in his castle, sole master of his ship, Supreme Commander in Chief of his sons, and -- blustering putty in the hands of his gentle but FIRM wife! Clarence Day paints this por trait of Victorian family life in his play “Life with Father’which is being presented by the PC Players at the Black Magic Thea tre on the PC campus. Perform ances begin at 8:00 p.m. Wed nesday, October 2, and run through Saturday, Oct 5. Dale Rains, head of the PC Drama Department and Director of this production, definitely suc ceeds in giving his audience a most enjoyable glimpse of the good old-fashioned Day family, whose life is not complicated by the bomb or pot. From the beginning the mood and atmosphere are carefully created. The soft velvety-toned set immediately suggests itself as the center of a strong family unit, with all the warmth and closeness of its five members -- each an individual but all united and committed to each other. Sam Hobson gives the long and demanding role ofFatber the lov able crustiness which Father de serves, and he is masterfully complemented by Beth Lindsay’s portrayal of Vinnie, his wife. Miss Lindsay gives Vinnie such delicate charm and such subtlety that her power over Father is easily understood. This, in turn, strengthens Sam Hobson’s role as Father -- the strong man artfully managed by a beloved wife, rather than Father — the lovable but stupid and gullible buffoon of most TV situation comedies. PC President's Wife Leads Very Busy Life Clare and Vinnie’s three sons, Clarence Jr., John and Whitney, are played by Evans Goodwin, Jeff Gayne, and Walter Hughes. They are, collectively, excellent and individually, surprisingly strong. Evans Goodwin, in his second role as male ingenue (you re member him as Harry Hero in “Dirty Work at the Crossroad’ has suddenly come of age. His consistent performance makes Clarence Jr. a normal, attrac tive young man, and his charac terization never once falters. Jeff Gayne is truly a gawky adoles cent and Walter Hughes catechizes with the best of them. Libba Gurley as Aunt Cora and Pat Driggers as Mary Skin ner both fulfill their parts ade quately. Perhaps the gem among the bit parts is the performance given by Vincent Hunter as Dr. Loyd, Episcopalian preacher. With his pale otherworldly complexion, his deep mellifluous voice and his long black robes, he is one of the most delightfully unctuous churchmen we have lately en joyed. F inally there are two doctors who are played by David Hood, and Haddon Allen, a cook Mar garet, portrayed by Judy Simp son, and four maids embodied by Anne Fadeley, Mary Gray, Becky Grogan and Belinda Ritter. This is not a heart rending drama such as “Inherit the Wind’ nor a rib-tickling melodrama such as “Dirty Workat the Cross roads. ’ This time the PC Players are giving us a l£rw key comedy, an uncomplicated and yet witty evening's entertainment which serves to remind us that Mr. Clarence Day really did write a very funny play. All of Clin ton should make a point to come to the Black Magic Theatre, sit back and enjoy, enjoy. BY ADELAIDE GANTT Being the wife of a college president must be a tremendous responsibility but Mrs. Marc Weersing makes it sound like fun. “I like to be busy and I always have been,’ Mrs. Weersing ex plained, “although the college’s activities are somewhat different than those that center directly around a church.’ She and Dr. Weersing con sider Presbyterian College as a congregation of people, she added. This attitude has helped them feel at home with the col lege rather than “at loose ends as have so many ministers’fam ilies who have gone into specialized fields. The only thing that worries me is that we can’t know all the students personally as we could with a church’s con gregation.’ Six years ago, when the Weer- sings came to P. C., Mrs. Weer sing hoped to get acquainted with all the students. With a rapidly growing student body and new people every year, she found this impossible. That does not mean she has quit trying, however. On two suc cessive days recently, for ex ample, she entertained members of the freshman class and mem bers of the Student Christian Assn. And she rarely misses a football game, play or other acti vity that concerns P. C. students. Through her experience at the college, Mrs. Weersing has dis covered that the wives of minis ters in specialized fields, such as Christian education, do not get as much public criticism as do those whose husbands are minis ters to churches. She believes this is because they cannot possibly become as deeply in volved in their husbands’ jobs in such specialized situations. However, she feels that the main difference in her life at the college and her previous ex perience as minister’s wife is that at P. C. she has met many more people with unique back grounds. “I’m meeting lecturers and artists,’ she said, “and getting to know them fairly well through entertaining them in my home and having the opportunity to talk to them. One of the most in teresting was a lecturer who led in the restoration of Iona, the first organized Christian com munity in the British Isles. He found the ruins on Iona, an is land off Scotland’s coast, and employed people ranging from in tellectuals to coal miners to help him. “Another lecturer who in terested me was the daughter of Robert Frost, one of my fav- MRS. MARC WEERSING orite poets and one that I had heard many times during my stu dent days at Agnes Scott.* At least one of Mrs. Weer- sing’s duties at P. C. is also one of her hobbies. She often arranges Dowers for small luncheons or dinners held in the college’s dining hall as well as the Dowers she uses in her home. “Last spring we had a luncheon for the governors of West Vir ginia and South Carolina. I wanted to use something significant to West Virginia and South Caro lina. I wanted to use something significant to West Virginia in the centerpieces but all I could think of was coal. With the help of an encyclopedia, I found apples were a main product and the cardinal was the state bird. “It was easy to put apples and cardinals into arrangements of white flowers, but there was no place for the coal. Finally, I set a lump of coal with a cardinal perching on top next to one of the arrangements. “The coal was the first thing the West Virginia governor saw when he walked into the room.” Mrs. Weersing has many other hobbies. She sews, making most of her own clothes; bakes cakes to send to son Barry in the Carib bean where he is stationed as a private first class in the Ma rine Corps; andplays with grand son Marc, whose mother, Mrs. George Lyons of Spartanburg, is the Weersing’s daughter. In addition to college activi ties, she teaches Sunday School at First Presbyterian Church, is publicity chairman for both the Community Concert series and the Laurens County League of Women Voters and is a mem ber of the Sunbonnet Garden Club and of the Century Club. Mrs. Weersing has had good preparation for her publicity chairmanships as she worked for one of her hometown’s news papers, the Charlotte News, for a year after her graduation from Agnes Scott College in Atlanta. Both her mother and father also worked for the News. She and Dr. Weersing, a Michi gan native, met while he was a student at Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta. They served churches in El- berton and Decatur, Ga., in Jack- son, Miss., and in Spartanburg before coming to Presbyterian College. W.C.T.U. The Woman’s Christian Tem perance Union will meet Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 at the home of Mrs. Thomas P. Owens on Mus- grove St. Miss Mary Lizzie Owens will be co-hostess. Mrs. Crisp Honored Thursday, September 25, was a great day for Mrs. M. L. Crisp, the former BlanchHippofMount- ville. On that day she celebrated her ninetieth birthday. Two of her friends, Mrs. Janie Burns and Mrs. Walter Benja min decided to surprise her with a party. They invited several of her neighbors and friends near her age to come to her home. Her son, Clay, had come down from Charlotte, N.C. for the day. Mrs. Crisp has been a bed patient for several years but she was able to be up in a wheel chair and rolled into the living room where she was greeted by her guests singing “Happy Birth day* to her. Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Benjamin brought in the beautiful cake with ninety candles and all the trimmings on it. After Mrs. Crisp had admired the cake and had blown out the candles, Mrs. Burns, assisted by Mrs. Roy Crisp, Mrs. Roy Adams, and Miss Zelle Crisp, cut the cake and served cake and ice cream to the guests. * * * MMWtwwwtwysir '..amt;???* t •' ww ; * CATHEY Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cathey announce the birth of a daughter, Cynden Grace, on Septemler 5, at Bailey Memorial Hospital.
