PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES 1960 PLAY
SCHEDULE
East Farewell – The Playhouse announced its 1960 schedule on
Monday. This year the Playhouse will present a total of nine plays, an increase
of one over last year. The year the Playhouse is working in conjunction with
the Regional High School to help run and act as the new home of the
Region High School Theater Arts program. Students will be able to act in,
create sets and even help produce four of the plays. One of which will be the annual
senior high school musical, a long tradition where all the seniors participate
in one way or the other.
“We are so
honored and excited to be working with the Playhouse this year. Last year’s
experiment with the Student’s Summer Stage Program was so successful and the
students had such a great time this next step was almost a given,” said High
School Theater Director, Harold F. Jacobs.
“The Playhouse
is very excited, too. We had so much fun working with the kids over the summer.
They really came to learn and act. The shows we put on were very successful and
well received by everyone,” said Jeb Bernstein, Playhouse producer, “Rick and Julie
(Playhouse owners) have always been interested in education and have always
dreamed of putting a program like this together.”
The schedule for the 1960 season is:
April – Guys and Dolls
May – Paint Your Wagon
June - (Student Summer Stage) –Oklahoma
July – (SSS #2) – Romeo and Juliette
August – (SSS #3) – West Side Story

COUGARS SEND THE HAWKS FLYING SOUTH
Southport – The Cougars moved one
step closer to the league championship win a win over the Southport Hawks,
56-50, last week. The Cougars have rebounded from their mid-season slump and
have won four games straight. There is only one game left in the schedule and
the Cougars will face the Slate Mountain Miners next week at Slate Mountain.
Saturday’s
game started off slow with no points being scored for the first three minutes.
Many shots were taken but none were made. Finally after three minutes twenty
seconds the Cougars struck first with a turn-around jumper for James Hawkins
that swished through. After that score things gradually picked up for both
sides but the shooting percentage for both teams was abysmal in the first half.
The first half ended with the Cougars out front 18-16. The second half was much
more entertaining. Both teams came out running and shooting. The big difference
was many of the shots went in. In the first four minutes of the second half
both teams had matched their first half output. Both teams going at full speed
could only last so long and the Hawks started to run out of steam first. The
Cougars pulled away with three minutes left and built a 50- 40 lead. Mackenzie
and Fox, the Cougars guards, started to score from the outside and Hawkins in the
center controlled the rebounds off the Hawks boards. This combination made it
even more difficult for a Hawks team that was dragging a bit. Coach Wilson
started to put in the subs with two minutes left and once again the bench was
impressive. Junior Wendell Williams showed why he deserves a starting position
on next year’s squad. He scored six straight points and was able to steal the
ball on a Hawks loose pass. The Hawks were able to close the gap but they were
never in position to take the lead. The game ended with a solid 56-50 Cougars
victory.
The
Cougars play their last game next week against the Slate Mountain Miners. If
the Cougars win they will have sole position of first place and take the league
championship outright. If they lose they will have to play the Corning Devils
in a playoff game. Next week’s game will be played in Slate Mountain Gymnasium
on Saturday and will begin at 1:30PM.
