This dinner had a strong Hawaiian accent, the influence o f university students assisting at King. Third graders shared in the inter national fete by making Kwanza necklaces celebrating the A frican holiday. The dinner was shared with over two hundred persons. The cooking, decorations, serving, and clean-up were provided by the students with a little help from staff and parents. The year long “ sharing experience” unites the students and senior citizens and promotes better understanding in the school community. This was the sixth annual dinner for senior citizens.

The victory came in the guise o f a Black play by Ossie Davis entitled "P u rlie Vic torious,” and was presented in the same spirit by a talented local per forming troupe under the auspices of the P ortland State U niversity Educational Center. “ Purlie Victorious,” staged in the pre-civil rights South, is a three act comedy that deals with the central character, Purlie Victorious Judson, a self proclaimed ‘ shoe-string tie’ minister, and his follies in trying to re-claim the barn church o f his grandfather fro m his nemisis o f twenty years, O l’ Cap’n Cotchipee, the owner of Cotchipee Plantation in Cotchipee County, Georgia. The lead role o f Purlie Victorious was played with verve and vigor by Roger Reid. His characterization and energetic interpretation o f the role suspends all disbelief and brings the p u lp it pounding, psaims-slinging preacher to life. His female lead, Cheryl Wilson, who plays the beguiled Lutiebelle Gussiemae Jenkins is a character study in herself. Her good natured bumbling and refreshing naievity is the perfect balance to Reid’ s tenacious Purlie. OP Cap’n Cotchipee is portrayed by Stephen Rose w ith all o f the aristo cra tic grandeur o f C olonel Saunders. You can not help but to like him, in spite o f himself. The cast is rounded out by Deborah Strayhand, who’ s portrayal o f Missy Judson takes you right to the heart o f the Black South; Richard Jones, who is superb as G itlow Judson, “ . . . the cotton- pickin’est” negro you’ ll ever take to your funnybone; Jeff Hensley as the befuddled Charlie Cotchipee; Doug Malone and Noian Humble as the Sheriff and the Deputy. The play was also directed by Roger Reid, who is incidentally a G em ini, perhaps explaining his ability to perform both on the stage and o ff with equal ability. The play is tight, well paced, and moves like an orchestration. After complaining about the lack o f Black theater in Portland, don’t let this exceptional play pass you by. The final performance will be at Lincoln H all, Room 73, Portland State University. The curtain is at 8:00 p.m., admission is J2.3O for the general public, and tickets may be purchased at the door.
