John Proctor will wear brown, symbolic of his occu pation as a farmer and his down-to-earth qualities. Other characters sympathetic to him will appear in different shades of brown. There is, for ex ample, 83 - year - old Giles Corey, played by Bob Walker, who dies because of his re fusal to testify in the trials, and the Reverend Mr. Hale played by Dean Hiscr, whose faith is seriously shaken when he sees obviously good people accused of witch-craft. Green is used for those c h a r a cters antagonistic to John Proctor because it is a cold color, suggestive of envy and bitterness. The key shade is in the sown of Abigail Wll Hams, played by Linda Jo Waltermire, the person most responsible for the sorrow of John Proctor. The young girls who cry out against the "witches" will appear in dif ferent shades of green prints. The older accuser, Ann Put nam, played by Rosalita Patch, will appear in dark green. Black For Puritani Solid black, relieved only by the large white collars and cuffs of the puritan garb, is the color of those characters in official positions who are de termined to find witches in Salem. They are the Rev. Samuel Parrls, played by Mark Goodman; Judge Ha thorne, played by Bob Betts; and land-hungry Thomas Put nam, played by Lane Hox worth. Elizabeth Proctor, played by Beverly Gebhard, and Deputy - Governor Danforth, played by Dan Campbell, will be the only characters in the play to wear gray, because they came closer to being neutral than any of the other characters in the play. The more colorful costume of the slave Tituba, played by Carolyn Finch, is symbolic of her position between her re cently adopted Christianity and the ancient traditions of the voodoo and black-magic of her people. Since "The Crucible" is play based on actual history the costuming is representa tive of the period - 1602. The puritans wear dark colored clothing with large while collars. The men wear high- crowned, wide-brimmed hats and the women wear close- fitting white hats. All of the shoes and hats are worn with large buckles. The costumes have been de signed by the costume chair man, Joyce Roelfs, under the direction of Mrs. Zapell. Girls who are making the costumes include Susan Yoder, Carol Burns, Diane Jacobsen, Mnry Satlerfleld, Judy Harper, Louise Willis, Ronda Martin, Janice Armstrong, Sharon Larson, and Judy Stuart. Diane Richardson, - metal shop instructor at the high school, has made buckles for the shoes and hats, and is also making the wrist irons which John Proctor wears in prison. Tickets for this "challeng ing play" may be bought at Swem's, at Medford High School, and from any member of the senior class.
