LITERARY
ASSOCIATE
SPEAKS AT LC
A friend and biographer
of H. L. Mencken and F. Scott
and Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald
spoke on subjects yesterday and
today related to these literary
giants during the first annual
Jennie Lee Epps Lectures at LaGrange College on Monday and
Tuesday, April 14 and 15.
Miss Sara Mayfield ofTuscaloosa, Alabama, lectured on
"Mencken's Advice to Young
Writers" and "The Fitzgeralds
and the Revolt of Youth."
The lectures, which honor
the memory of a longtime LC
English professor, are scheduled
in the college chapel on Monday at 8 p.m. and on Tuesday at
10 a.m.
Dr.
Walter D. Jones,
chairman of the college's Department of English, said the
public is invited to the free
lectures.
Miss Mayfield, a close
friend of both Sara Haardt, Mencken's wife, and Zelda Fitzgerald, is the author of "The Constant Circle: H. L. Mencken and
Friends" which was published
in 1968 and attracted an unusually wide and favorable press
throughout the country.
A native of Tuscaloosa,
the Epps lecturer grew up in
Montgomery where her father
was an associate justice of the
Alabama Supreme Court. She
studied at the Margaret Booth
School,
a quality finishing
school
in Mongtomery, where
Sara Haardt taught her English
history. Later, as a student at
Goucher College, she won a literary contest and her prize
was
a dinner date with the
"Sage."
Miss Mayfield's chaperone for the date was Miss
Haardt, then a teacher at Goucher. Seven years later. Miss
Haardt and Mencken were married.
Her friendship with Zelda
Sayre, Fitzgerald's Montgomeryborn wife, is the basis for a
book on the Fitzgeralds similar
to that on Mencken, which Miss
Mayfield iscurrently completing.
The LC lecturer, now an
assistant editor of the University of Alabama Press, has had
a varied career ranging from war
and diplomatic correspondent
to playreader and casting director for New York Plays, to
inventor of a patented process
to utilize cottonstalks in making
a plastic.
After her study at Goucher,
she studied at the Universities
of Chicago and Paris, returned
to Goucher and graduated with
Phi Beta Kappa honors, studied
for a year at University College
of the University of London,
and earned a master's degree at
the University of Alabama.
The Epps lectures were
endowed by Miss Kate Howard
Cross of Summerville, S. C, a
former professor of Latin at LaGrange College, "in loving.memory" of her friend and col league. Dr. Epps.
Dr.
Epps was professor
of English for 29 years and head
of the Humanities Division at
LaGrange Co liege until her death
in 1961. A native of Kingstree,
S.C.,
she studied at Columbia
(S.C.) College where she was a
first honor graduate.
After earning her master's
and doctoral degrees at the University of South Carolina, she
was on the faculty of Columbia
and
Grenada (Miss.) Colleges
before joining the LC faculty in
1932.
The Quadrangle, the college yearbook, in 1961 stated in
memorial to Dr. Epps that she
"imparted to her students a
spark which kindled into a love
of literature, a love that was so
much a part of her that it sparkled in her eyes and rippled in
her speech . . . who was a
great lady and remains an inspiration."
Miss Cross said, "The
lectureship is a testimonial not
only to my love and admiration
for Miss Epps but also for LaGrange College ... As an intimate companion of hers in the
17 years we taught together at
LaGrange College, I had an excellent opportunity to observe
her devotion to the school and
to all her students."

Choralaires Return
After Spring Tour
The
LaGrange College
Choralaires sang themselves to
sea—with stops along the way
for concerts.
The 33-voice choral group
and two smaller musical ensembles left the campus Wednesday
for their annual tour carried them
this year to the Gulf of Mexico.
In
high
schools and
churches in Georgia, Alabama,
and
Florida, the Choralaires
performed a variety of music
from a repertoire ranging from
ancient folk songs to modern
"pop, " and from traditional spirituals to a medley of Mother
Goose rhymes.
In addition to choral music by the full chorus, its programs included performances by
two new attractions: "The Lads
and Lassies," a small madrigal
ensemble,
and
"Sugar and
Spice," a singing and dancing
group of coeds.
PRESIDENTS ROUNDTABLE
He began by informing the
group that 120 seniors are expected to graduate this June.
compete against each other for
cash and scholarships. More details will be explained when
they are available. This promises to be one of the biggest
aids to this community in
quite a while.
A "cleanup campaign"
sponsored by the C&S Bank is
to take place shortly. This campaing took place in Savannah recently and involved the cleaning up of a large area of unsightly neighborhoods. The plan
is to bring this project to LaGrange and to have the fraternities and sororities from LC
The opening date of school
this
year will be earlier than
usual due to the extra Christmas
vacation. Freshmen will arrive
Sept. 7 and upper classmen on
Sept. 11. The end of the quarter
will be when we leave for the
Thanksgiving Holidays and Winter Quarter will begin on January 5, 1970.
The Presidents Roundtable
was called to order on March 31
with Dr. Henry discussing many
topics with campus leaders.

Paul W. Doster, associate
professor of music, directed the
Choralaires during their songfilled spring excursion for the
seventh year. Nancy Beth James

Membership in the
Choralaires is not restricted to
students with musical training,
according to Prof. Doster. He
said, "The men and women in
the choral group are able to gain
invaluable cultural experiences
and
music appreciation from
their participation."
The 11 men and 22 women
in the Choralaires represent LaGrange College's five academic
divisions: fine arts, humanities,
science and mathematics,social
science, and education.
Dr. Waights G. Henry,

April 15. 1969
dist Church institution, said the
co-educational college seeks to
provide for its approximately
600 students from 22 states and
several overseas nations "an
educational program designed
to prepare students to live worthi ly in such a day as this."
Professor Doster has directed the Choralaires for seven years. He also teaches
voice and other courses in music. Holding degrees from the
University of Alabama and the
Catholic University of America,
he is a doctoral student in musicology at the latter.
The college chorus was
accompanied by Constance Lyle
of Auburn, Ga., on the piano.
Pianist Jean Smith of Dalton,
Ga., will accompany the "Sugar
and Spice" group. Guitarist Joe
Hubbard of Canton, Ga. performed with the "Lads and Lassies."
Roger Presnell of Augusta, Ga., is president of the
Choralaires. Other student officers
are Sonia Robinson of
Marietta, Ga., treasurer, and
Patricia Fairfax of Montgomery,
Ala., librarian.
During its current tour,
the LC musical group appeared
in
seven high school and
church performances in Abbeville and Dothan, Ala., Chipley and Panama City, Fla.; and
Columbus (twice) and Valdosta,
Ga.
The Choralaires' concert

DEAN LOVE
IN
INAUGURATION
The dean of students at
LaGrange College represented
the school in Spartanburg, S. C.
at the inauguration of Wofford
College's new president. Dr.
Paul Hardin, III.
Dean John R. Love Jr.,
himself a graduate of Wofford
College, will march in the inauguration procession and be a
special guest along with several
hundred institutional and professional representatives.
Dr. Hardin will be the
eighth president of the United
Methodist men's institution. He
will be inaugurated at 2:30 p.m.
Tuesday at Spartanburg's Memorial Auditorium, adjacent to the
Wofford campus.
Other inaugural events include a Monday evening concert
by James Dick; pianist; a symposium on "The Role of The Liberal
Arts College in The Future," a luncheon for official
delegates, a reception following the inauguration of Presi
sent Hardin, and a formal ball.
lanta School of Art. In 1967, he
resigned from the agency where
he was vice president, to devote
all of his time to painting and
teaching.
A member of Portraits,
Inc., Jennings has also studied
with Edwin Dickinson and Henry
Hensche.
Edward S. Shorter, director emeritus of the Columbus
Museum of Arts and Crafts,
Inc., said recently that Jennings'
work can be termed controversial, yet it is sound in background and expressed in professional technique which is
sure of itself. This young artist
can both excite and repel but
one realizes that here is painting to draw us to it, to force us
to think and to interpret for ourselves."
MANSOUES
Jennings is active in many
civic affairs in Atlanta, having
served on the Board of Trustees
of
the Atlanta Arts Festival,
the Atlanta Arts Council, and
the Atlanta Municipal Theater.
He is also a member of the
Young Men's Advisory Committee of the High Museum of Art,
the Board of Sponsors of the Atlanta School of Art and the Atlanta Art Association.
Art Show
Worth
Seeing
An active Atlanta artist,
who forsook the advertising
world for painting and teaching
which he found "more creative
and rewarding," will be featured in an exhibition which opened Sunday, April 12, in the LaGrange College Gallery.
OI&
Comer Jennings, an instructor in the Atlanta School of
Art, was welcomed to LaGrange
at a reception Sunday from 3 to
5 p.m. in the college gallery.
Ray Shead, head of the LC
Department of Art, said Jennings' art is a reflection of the
present age. "His works have
regularly been included in the
Southeast's most prestigious art
shows and I am sure local and
area citizens will want to.visit
this showing of his latest art,"
he added.
The Jennings show will
continue to hang on the LC campus through May 9.
Jennings, who specializes
in portraits and still lifes, has
won several awards for his
paintings. A regular exhibitor
in the Southeastern, Callaway
Gardens, and Hunter exhibitions,
among others, he is represented
in many private collections including Vincent Price and Mrs.
Adam Gimble. His one-man show
was featured in Atlanta's Heath
Gallery Jast summer.
A native of Eufaula, Ala.,
Jennings was educated at Emory
and Princeton Universities and
was awarded for service in the
United States Navy and Coast
Guard. While working with the
advertising firm of N. W. Ayer
and Son in New York, he became
interested in creative painting
and enrolled in t$e Art Students
League where he worked evenings and in his off-times.
The artist moved to Atlanta in 1960 where he joined the
McCann-Marschalk Company and
continued his studies at the At-

Well, it's that time again
so let's get to the grass and
get down to business.
First off we regret that no
mention of volleyball was made
in the last issue. Action on that
court was dominated by the
Kappa Sigs who were undefeated in the two day competition.
Pi Kappa Phi took second with
Beta Rho showing third.
Moving now to softball.
Kappa Sigma is off to a hot
start winning their first two
starts
over the indies and Pi
Kappa Phi. The opening day's
action saw the Pi Kaps take
Sigma Nu 18-3 and KappB Sigma
down the indies by a large margin also. On Thursday Kappa Sig
and Pi Kappa Pni pjt it on the line
in what could be the big game of
the season. The R Kaps went out
from
1 to 0 in the first and held
the lead through two
innings.
The goblins came to life then and
with the help of a couple of
breaks went out front to stay. The
Pi Kaps put on a comeback attempt
in the last two innings but to no
avail as Kappa Sig's lead was too
much and they came out on top
14-9. The second game pitted
Sigma Nu against the independents
in what will p-obably turn out to
be the start of a fight for third
dace. The first of five contests
between the two teams saw the
independents come out on top but
that is not to say they will win
next time. Tuesday, Ap-il 5 wj||
put Pi Kappa Pni against the indies
at 4:C0 and Kappa Sigma vs. Sigma
Nu Pi at 5:30.

Roundtable
cont. from page 1
The question of a clock
for the new student center was
brought up and so was a TV but
the TV drew criticism due to the
ratty condition that the old student center was in. The throwing of cigarettes on the new
tile floor would permanently
marr the floor and be unsightly.
Until someone comes up with
a good solution to this problem
it looks like there won't be any
TV. It looks like the one new
thing we have would be better
taken care of than end up like
the old student center.

"More than a work of promise ... an achievement of unusual and exciting distinction."
"A remarkable we 11-constructed, remarkably moving,
and deeply compassionate drama."
"A Streetcar Named Desire" -- the drama which received these accolades by critics
John Chapman, John Mason
Brown and W.P. Eaton - arives
on the LaGrange College stage
Thursday evening for three performances.
The turbulent and emotionpacked drama by Tennessee

than 15 LC productions, starring
in "Guys and Dolls," "How To
Succeed in Business Without
Really Trying," "Tartuffe," and
others. In addition, he has also

Stella, and Stella's lusty and
boisterous
husband, Stanley
<owalski.

John Wilson of Shrewsbury,
Mass., on sound, Jessie Mae
Richards on costumes, Lucius
