May 30,1990 Page 8 FEATURE Perfomances of one-act plays begin THE CLACKAMAS PRINT by Me-Lissa Cartales Rhapsody Editor George Hurlburt is an 84-year- old student here at Clackamas will have one of his one-act plays per formed in the theatre beginning today. Hurlburt came to Clackamas three years ago and enrolled in classes in the theatre department. Since then, he has not taken any classes that were not theatre re lated. The play, “The Princess of Ahlden,” is a modem day account of “one day in July of 1694 when King George I of England locked up his wife, Sophia, accusing her of infidelity,” Hurlburt said. This is the only one ofhis five plays which has ever been pro duced, although one of his plays made it to the finals of a contest sponsored by the Columbia The atre, but unfortunately no further. Although he enjoys play-writ ing, Hurlburt says that it “takes a lot of time.” He also said that he has received a great deal of help from Jack Shields, of the Commu nications and Theatre Arts De partment here at Clackamas. Hurlburt also enjoys study ing geneology. He has traced his family history back to the early 18th century and has done the same with his wife’s. He has not had much time for geneology lately, however, since play writing takes up most of his time. The play will be performed along with three other one-acts, all directed by students; The stu dent directing Hurlburt’s play is Elizabeth McDougall, which is a point that Hurlburt wanted made clear, as that fact was overlooked in a local newspaper. ng term final exam schedule Mary Bennett has found an economical and recycleable way to make furniture. Photo by Lane Schekfeman EXAM DAY AND TIME CLASS TIME Bennett creates unique, economical furniture by Angela Wilson Feature Editor When taking a trip back east, Mary Bennett noticed that there were lots of wasted bails of hay sitting in fields and laying around. “They were wasted because they were moldy,” Bennett said. Bennett figured out a way to use the wasted bails of hay; make them into furniture. Ben nett figured out how she could wrap material around the bails of hay and they could then be made into economical furniture. “I’m hiding the hay from the horses with my furniture,” Bennett said. “The furniture is safe and durable,” Bennett said. “If you get tired of it you can put it out in your garden or feed it to the horses.” The hay used in the furni ture is Blue Grass Hay. Bennett uses triple twine hay packed solid and free of mildew. “Straw is too coarse and doesn’t pack solid and alfalfa hay tends to mold ,” Bennett said. “My first tty at this I used alfalfa and it molded on me.” An important step in Ben nett’s process of making this furniture is letting the hay dry. The hay is dried for a month or more. The furniture pieces can be stacked in a variety of ways to make different kinds of furni ture. It absorbs odors, insulates well, and is rough and durable. Bennett makes the furni ture in her home and stressed that it can appeal to everyone in style and price. There are a vari ety of different materials used and some of the pieces are painted on or stenciled on. “It is refillable, recyclable, and most important economi cal to everyone,” Bennett said. Bennett has applied for a Poor Man’s Patent and the pat ent is pending. “I haven’t found any furni ture like this anywhere/’ Ben nett said.
