One of Sinfonia's projects was the responsibility for programs
at some basketball games. Advertisements were sold, programs
printed and distributed. Sinfonians also served as ushers at
other events. |
| One, two, three, FIRE!—DSC's
ever popular "pep band" has gained much popularity

THIS PLUM IS TOO RIPE is the thought
in this scene from the Delta Players' production of "The
Fantasticks," opening tomorrow night at 8 in Broom Auditorium.
The Mute, played by David Ely (right) is casting a glance toward
Luisa (not shown), as her boyfriend Matt, played by Billy Spencer,
looks on. The Mute has the unique character of not saying
a word, and at the same time, demonstrating many of the major
props. Story on page 1. (Pickenpaugh photo) |
