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

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
