FEBRUARY 27, 1961
Costumes
the play according to the di
rector, Mrs. Lenore Zappel.
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.
