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.

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.
