Page 4 Bard's followers are surprised, delighted By Jl STINK WEATHEKFORD The Heppner Shakespeare Tur Group members at Ihe Ashland Festival last week were surprised when Ihey opened this years 64-page official festival programs, "Festival 74", and found two Heppner group pictures in cluded. This publication sells to thousands who come from all over the world to the festival. Unfortunately neither Hepp ner or the students' names are in print. The pictures were taken and printed by Heppner High School photography stud ent Anita Davidson, Lexing ton, and were sent to the Festival Education Director Peggy Rubin by Mrs. Jane Rawlins. The pictures were taken here last fall when Mrs. Rubin and Mary Turner, wife of the producing director, Jerry Turner, conducted a workshop at Heppner High. Turner moved up when the festival founder, Angus Bowmer, who had produced all 37 of Shake speare's plays and had per formed in 32 Shakesperean roles in 43 Ashland stagings, stepped aside into semi retirement. The two pictures include students John Myers and Randy Morris with Mrs. Rubin and a larger group of students with Mrs. Turner. Charma Marquardt, Dena Siruthers. Charles Rawlins and Cindy Rogers are shown in costumes, and seated spectators include Juanita Wilson. Sally Winters. Chris Evans. Judy . Ledbetter and S'ephanie Jones. The house was packed for all six plays. The afternoon performances in the modern Bowmer Theater were each watched by 60O cheering spectators. William Saroyan s "Time of Your Life". Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" and Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen of Verona" were beautifully staged and power full enacted. The evening plays in the large outside theater above Lithia Park were each seen by ...lioUuThe pre-play renaissance music and dancing built up the visitors' mood each evening. The bloody tragedy 'Titus Adromcus." the Bard's great est tragedy. 'Hamlet." and his comedy. -Twelfth Night." were cast and staged in the traditional manner with clever adaptations by each director. The costuming had been carefully researched and reproduced. Beside the plays, the group from Heppner enjoyed one morning's backstage tour through the working areas of the two theaters and a noon hour discussion period in the park under Education Direct or Rubin. They all soaked up early Oregon history at the Beekman House and the Jackson County Museum and in the restored shops of historic Jacksonville. As the group drove south Sunday morning they paused wo hours in Gresham to BABY SHOWER FOR ANTHONY MICHAEL A baby shower was given for Mrs. Sandy Graham by Mrs. Jerry Bunch and Mrs. Norman Clow.

VYTf I7V' Exhibiting flowers at the county fair The lone Garden Club mel Aug. 14 at the United Church of Christ. A luncheon was served by the hostesses, Mrs. Bill Ling and Mrs. Van Hubbard, to 13 members. Mrs. Cecil Jones presented a program "Preparation of Flowers for Fair Exhibits." She said exhibitors could help by making out their own entry tags giving their name, and the name of the flower to be exhibited with the proper class in which it would be exhibited. In making flower arrangements, she said that "no mailer how you start, there are a few rules of good design that can make the difference between your arrangement looking like a work of art or just flowers haphazardly stuck in a vase. An arrangement is a com position, whereas a bunch or a bouquet of flowers is not. Flower arranging is the art of organizing the elements used, according to the principles of design, to attain beauty (ap peal to the observer), sim plicity (elimination of all, un necessary detail), expression (a creative quality which reveals an idea, feeling, mood or story), and harmony (interrelationship of com ponent parts which results in a unified whole). Mrs. Jones gave lips on the selection, conditioning, grooming and transporting of flower to the county fair exhibits. She recommended thai in picking flowers one should carry a pail of warm water (110 degrees). 3 !o 4 inches deep is ample, and a sharp knife. Flowers that will produce milky or sticky water. Cut stem on a slant. After flowers are cut Ihey should be placed in a cool place such as a refrigerator or in a basement out of a draft for at least 12 hours before showing. If flowers show will, recut stems. Place them in warm water and thev will I NOW Get your leagues organized now. Team bowling begins Sept. 1. FIESTA BOWL New Legging!
