As part o f their “ sharing exper
ience” , the fifth grade classes at
M artin Luther King Elem entary
School recently presented a luncheon
for senior citizens. 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.

Friday night at 8:00 p.m. in Port
land State University’s Lincoln Hall,
another victory was struck for Port
land’s Black theater. 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. For more in
formation call 229-3864 or 229-4440.
