Theatre Sets Date
For 'Die Fledermus'
America's unique "piccola"
opera troupe the National Grass
Roots Opera Company will pre-
sent a performance of "Die Fled-
ermus" by Johann Strauss here
March 29 sponsored by the HPC
College Theatre.
The performance is scheduled
for 8 p. m. and will be held in
Brownwood High School Auditor-
ium to assure enough seats for
all who want to attend.
The National Grass Roots Op-
era Company is now in its ninth
season of bringing live opera in
English to the American public.
In its home-base state of North
Carolina and on its national tours
across scores of other states the
troup of young professional sing-
ers brings this form of music
theater to small and medium-
sized towns and colleges that are
missed by the "grand" opera
touring troupes. Thus it has earn-
ed its special name grass roots
which has come to mean "down
where the people are."
Formed in 1948 this company
gave its first performance during
the 1949-50 season and since that
time it has delivered more than
650 staged perfoi mances of opera
all sung in English. The troupe
was formed by an attorney and
businessman of Raliegh N. C
A. J. Fletcher who decided that
the public should have an op-
portunity to hear opera in a
language it could understand.
An indication that the public
will appreciate and support this
form of art is the fact that most
of the places listed on this season'.-
schedule have had this
group during pievious seasons.
Woiks performed in previous
seasons have included many of
the old favorite standard operas.

Mission Band
Aids Children
In a new full-scale program
the Mission Band has started mis-
sion work with the young people
in North Brownwood. There is
an activity for the children almost
every day of the week.
Mr. Elmo Ledbetter local busi-
nessman and HPC graduate has
been working with these children
for years. Realizing that it is very
difficult to help a child who has
already become delinquent Mr.
Ledbetter began to take some of
the children of North Brownwood
to church and to do other things
with them. The project became
too big for him however and he
ask the Mission Band for help.
Elected to head this program in
the Mission Band were Kathryn
Weedon and Johnny Gayle.
Shepard
(.Continued Fiom Page 3)
fiehman year in the 880 and mile
and the next year tied for sec-
ond in the high jump won second
in the broad jump first in the
880 and mile and was a member
of the winning mile relay team.
He was the high point individual
at the conference meet in Abilene
his sophomore year.
Last year Don was outstanding
in the 880 mile run the mile
relay and the two-mile relay.
Stickler for Training
"I think I'm trying harder in
track this year for two big rea-
sons" the genial cinderman re-
marked. "Of course I know it's
my final season and the compe-
tition is much keener this year."
Besides the usual eating and
sleeping training rules Shepard
played baseball during the sum-
mer to keep in shape for the up-
coming track season. Cross-country
running bridged the gap be-
tween his baseball season and
track season.
"I think track requires as much
or more training than any other
sport" Shepard concluded.
Another big reason for his fin-
al effort ls his goal in the mile.
He hopes to clock in a 4:10 be-
fore the season ends.

From South Dakota's
COLLEGIAN
Those who say their goodnights
in the women's dormitory at
South Dakota State college will
no longer have any trouble know-
ing when it's time to leave says
columnist Marlene Longwood.
The house mother wondering
why the fellows didn't go when
the lights went out took a survey
one night and learned that every-
one's eyes were shut so they
could hardly tell when the lounge
was darkened.
Now she rings a ittle dinner
bell at the evening's close.
From SMU's CAMPUS
Born Yesterday!
We see by the papers that John
Gates editor of the late "Daily
Worker" is going to speak to

inteiesting ideas after 27 years
in the communist party ten yeais
with the "Daily Worker" and four
years in Atlanta federal peni-
tential y.

100m log cabin erected in 1841 by
William Neely Bryan.
