Gold Hill Classes Present Gold Hill "Exotica" was the tticvne for the 1SS0 spring fustion show and tea given recently in the Hanby Ele mentary schools gymnasium by girls of the seventh and eighth grade home economics classes. The event was ar ranged by Mrs. Shirley An derson, home economics teach er, to honor mothers of the students, and to give the girls an opportunity to moded gar ments that they had complet ed during the 1959-60 school year. The girls selected their own patterns and fabrics, suitable to their individual finances and needs after learning about different types of fabrics. Mrs. Anderson said girls of the two classes spent two weeks of diligent preparation to obtain the realistic Oriental atmosphere for the fashion show and Mother's Tea which followed. Seventh grade girls painted a large mural to create a backdrop scene for a Japanese garden where the models made their entrance under brillant lights. The scene con sisted of a mountain, the tra ditional cherry blossoms, ever greens and cascading water falls. Each model strolled from the stage to the center of the gymnasium which was dimly lighted with many Jap anese electric lanterns. Here she crossed a pink bridge en twined with evergreens, and made her exit after a walk around the pools on either side of bridge. Mothers of the girls were seated at small tables which were centered with Japanese fans and Ori ental figurines or dolls. Minia ture fans decorated each guest's name card. Guoitl Named Attending the event by special invitation were Charles A. Meyer, superin tendent of district BC, Gilbert A. Mack, principal of the Gold Hill schools, Mrs. Ida von Busklrk, teacher and dean of girls at Hanby Elementary school, and Mrs. Clyde Kell. Authentic Chinese dolls and arrangements of spring flow ers in silver containers dec orated the special guest table. Miss Pat Wanner and Miss Frieda Williams seated the guests. Items from the Orient loan ed by Mrs. Barbara Charles, Hanby teacher, and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Freeman, par ents of one of the seventh grade girls, and a large mural of a Japanese harbor night scene painted by eighth grade girls completed the decora tions, which also included realistic cherry trees in bloom. Mrs. Anderson welcomed the audience and dedicated the affair to the mothers of the girls In the two sewing classes. She introduced the special guests. Mr. Meyer congratulated Mrs. Anderson and the pupils for their efforts In presenting a program of this type, and praised them for their work in creating outstanding Ori ental atomsphere. He thank ed patrons of the district for their support in the recent election. He said that there there are now 2.500 boys and girls attending schools in dis trict 6C, which is made up of Sams Valley, Gold Hill and Central Point. : The program commenced with a poem entitled "Moth er" read by Miss Linda Park er, sixth grader.

(Anders photo) Women's News Social Events Concert Reviewer Notes ' I m p ressive Per f o r man ce' By THORNTON T. SHIVELY Impressive individual per formances on trumpet, harpsi chord, and piano were high lights of the spring concert on the Southern Oregon Lit tle Symphony orchestra, play ed for an appreciative local audience Sunday afternoon at Churchill auditorium. Featured with the orchestra as piano soloist in Grieg's concerto in n. minor-Allegro Mollo Moderat0- waa Airia Okamoto, a sophomore stu dent at Southern Oregon col- lege from Lima, Peru. The concerto is known especially to American audiences as the theme and substance of the great operetta success, "Song of Norway." Miss Okamoto's artistic interpretation made this the climactic number of a stimulating and well-balanced program. The concert was opened ef fectively with the "Overture to the Secret Marriage" from Medford Group Plans Festival May Festival plans were discussed in detail at the last meeting of the Medford Home Extension unit, held at the home of Mrs. William Naylor on New Ray road in Central Point. Oak Grove and Griffin Creek units will be cohos tesses for the affair on Wed nesday, May 25, at the Court house auditorium. Registra tion will begin at 12:30 p.m. Members of the Medford unit are asked to bring cookies for the tea. Patio cookery was explain ed by Mrs. Harry Buckmastcr and demonstrated by Mrs Naylor. Forty members and guests participated in the luncheon held out of doors. Guests introduced were Mrs. V. R. Stickel. Mrs. E. G. Duggan, Mrs. Dayton Depue, Mrs. E. B. Adamson, Mrs. Chris Metcnlf, Mrs. Lois Adams. Mrs. Don W. Rohnert, Mri. H. A. Huntley and oth ers. ' Mrs. Carrie Milness. ACWW chairman, read an article taken from the ACWW paper. The report of the slate council at Corvallis in earlv May was given by the two delegates who represented the unit, Mrs. Hobert Ditsworth and Mrs. Naylor. MaillofM Club Names Committee Mrs. W. H. Arnold Is chair man of the committee in charge of a dessert luncheon for Mistletoe club Wednesday noon at Girls Community club. Mrs. Hugh Judd will be on the program. Members are invited to bring' Juests, tlie most famous work of the 18th century Italian compos er, Cimarosa. Herbert Bell and James Maffett, trumpeters, and Mary Williams, harpsichordist, pro vided an interesting and suc cessful contrast in the baroque period number, Vivaldi's "Concerto for Two Trumpets and Strings." Director Her bert Cecil departed from cus tomary procedure by placing the trumpeters at the rear of the orchestra to balance their strength with the multi ple strings and the harpsi chord. The skill and range of the trumpeters emphasized the amazing fact that Vivaldi composed this number for bugle-like horns before the trumpet-valve was invented. The Little Symphony In cludes many local musicians as well as college personnel. The achievement of Dr. Cecil and the orchestra in forming from this wide variety of mu sical experience a smooth, skillful, and pleasing sym phonic unit was best demon strated in the numbers which followed the intermission. The program was conclud ed with three familiar coin positions, Strauss's "Wine, Women and Song." Benja min's "Jamaican Rhumba," and Anderson's lively- and popular "Fiddle Faddle." Out standing in the second group was the half-melancholy, half fanciful "Prayer and Dream Pantomime" from the opera "Hansel and Gretel" by Hum perdinck. For Miss Okamoto's number it was necessary to remove the harpsichord from the stage and replace it with a piano. Director Cecil solved this awkward problem with out an audience intermission by the simple device of tak ing an informal orchestra break so that the audience seemed to be sitting in on a rehearsal. The next performance of the symphony will be in De cember of this year. SWIM POOLS 'Moby Dick' Scheduled On Thursday Ashland Philip Hanson, versatile Shakespearean act or, will perform Herman Mel ville'! "Moby Dick" as a one man show Thursday, May 26, at 8 p.m. at the Churchill au ditorium, Southern Oregon college. The performance is sponsored by the Southern Oregon Players as a benefit for the scholarship fund. Tickets are on sale at Swem's store, Medford, and at the college. This is not the first time the actor has been associated witn the novel. When a mem ber of the drama and inter pretation faculty at Washing ton State university, Pullman, he adapted the novel as an epic theatre piece for actors and choruses of men and women similar to the ancient Greek tradition. The results were considered impressive, but there remained problems in the transfer of this great work to the stage which were not solved until the actor hit upon his recent medium, the one-man solo performance. With the success of "Kings and Clowns" which took the artist on tour across the coun try, plans were formed early to offer this great adventure saga for theatre presentation. A true theatre creation, the lighting and furnishings for the performance were design ed and created by Edmund Chavez, assistant professor of drama at the University of Idaho and master carpenter for the Oregon Shakespear ean Festival. The tryout of "Moby Dick" was given at the University of Idaho under the sponsorship of the dramatic honor society, The Curtain club, making it possible for Mr. Chavez to personaly su Dervise the finishing touches on lights and furniture before Mr. Hanson took to the road.
